As far as runDisney and Disney Parks is concerned, the side point of having these events on "slower" days are because of that = slower days. Disneyland rarely has slower time periods, since we have a lot of locals. It's partially the reason why WDW has so many weekends, because not all of the parks see as high as numbers as MK does, so they need to create reasons to bring people to the parks. DLR doesn't have that problem too often. That brings the answer to "why this event is during a slow period of mid November?".. because it's slower than usual. The crowds are there most of October for MHP and die off early to mid november, through Thanksgiving, then it picks up again for Christmas in December. January dies off from the holidays being over, so we have Tinker Bell (or had, I should say). The only one that makes no real sense to me, is Disneyland Half Weekend, which is Labor Day, and all the passes have been unblocked, plus school is starting to go back, or have already gone back.
Anyway, if they picked a busier time, hotels & park crowd levels would be too high, and they won't be able to control the amount of people coming in.
tiggeroo42, Taking the above into consideration, it's normally not so crowded that weekend. But Race weekends do tend to bring a large number of people into the parks and surrounding areas. We're talking 12-15,000 people registered for the race, plus 2-4 people per registrant as friends & family... that's in addition to the regular park guests and tourists too.

glad you were able to get in. The discount was $15 off. You could try and get in touch with active, but not sure if it'll work. I was able to do it once, but that was years ago before the races went like crazy. I emailed them and gave them the confirmation number and reg info. 
Im going to want wallet size !! Yeah, time to start picking out costume ideas....lol
no words. It was seriously like 
that's nuts, but I am now going to order online before we go for the pin at least. I am not sure about the rest of the expo merchandise but I will make sure if we want something we get there early.
