From experience the earlier in Nov you go, it will be very slightly quieter at least on week days. We're going on the 13th too, as it happens!

To be honest though, choose whichever weekend suits your calendar better, as there will be little appreciative difference between them.

oh no.....feeling worried now..read a few threads from a while back. Is november going to be awfully busy? we go thur to mon... so guessing thur aft/ friday/ mon morning be better? but sat sun will be manic? i just so wanted to see the christmas stuff? will it be really busy? i really am so excited and want to jump into the disney christmas experience..but not if its all going to be shoving and pushing and queing?? anyone here..thats been in nov..week and weekends????

November weekdays should be fine but, as a rule, weekends are always busy. If you haven't booked already, and you really want to avoid weekends, have you thought about arriving on a Sunday? You can see Fantillusion that evening, and though that day will be busy you can look forward to quieter days for the rest of your trip. And just about everything else will be on during the whole of your visit - like Candleabration and the Parade

BTW - welcome to the board

mmm... i think that will bump cost up. I mean... we will ahve all friday to do rides etc..then thought one day wither sat or sun we would go into paris... then other day have a manic day there..but see shows. then monday morn see few bits, then off to cdg... what you think...or would paris and dlp be just too awful with young children at weekend...

on the weekdays..is there any kind of evening show..o the fake snow..on the weekdays?

The only thing you will miss by going midweek November as opposed to the weekend in November, will be the nighttime parade (Fantillusion). Midweek in November, the park closes at 6pm or 7pm.

Everything else, including Enchanted Candleabration, Santa, Santa Goofy, the Christmas daytime parade, snow on Main Street (several times a day) Casey Jnr Christmas character express, Mickeys Winter Wonderland, Belles Christmas Village, etc etc etc will be there midweek November.

DLRP, because its so "local" for so many French people, does get much busier at weekends than midweek, and even more so in the Christmas season.

I think Bexx idea is a good one - if its not going to add too much to your price, it would be a good plan, if you can travel on the Sunday and reach DLRP in time to see Fantillusion that night. Then you will have your midweek days (much much quieter) to see and do everything else.

you guys are so fantastic! Thank you... ok how does this sound..i can do this... go out on the wed..so i get wed aftnoon...thur..fri..sat (one crazy day) then go home on the sunday.. thats same price..what you think??? thats around the 19th to the 23rd?? what you think? will those midweek days be ok?


or wed 12th to sun 16th?


i cant tell you how helpfull you ahve all been thank you

Usually, though not always, if you book your trip to start anyday from Sunday to Thursday you will get the lowest package price. Happily this is the case after the very beginning of November. Starting your stay with a Friday or Saturday night is more expensive, but it doesn't look as if you have to worry about that.

ETA - I know you plan to book over the phone (very sensible IMHO!) but have you checked prices on the booking page here?

 

[hollymattbenmilo]

Not sure what page you sent me.. says session times out (that drives me mad!!)

but if you mean have i checked the costs of the holiday/travel etc, yes i have got it all here...for me/partner/child/infant 5 days 4nights...with flights (only did it throight them as it only worked out £50 more then the cheapest i could get through flybe, and this way its later in day and lo will see in the daytime we are flying...and the convienience..for £50)
so with everything that package offers is £902.. then £420 just for my mum... as she insists on having her own room! but she is paying for hers...

yes i couldnt get the flight on the sunday through to weekdays...unless expensive flight... but wed to sun is the same... does this sound good..will sat eve have all the good bits?
yes going to ring over phone... any tips?


p.s..you seem to be the lord of disney! i am so greatful to everyone!

 

[DLPdaft]

If you can't get the outbound flight at a reasonable price on the Sunday, then I'd say your own plan, Weds to Sunday, sounds great.

It doesn't matter which week you pick out of your 2 choices, the parks will be equally quiet/busy then.

Get on and book it - you know you want to !

I got that when I tested the link, but was okay when I refreshed the page, so I left it - and it seems to be working okay now. I thought you would have all your prices sorted, but it's an easy way to check the price if you want to change your dates, length of stay etc.

but wed to sun is the same... does this sound good..will sat eve have all the good bits?

Sounds fine A couple of quieter days and then (probably) two chances to see Fantillusion, as I think they also do it on the Friday night.

the number i have is 08705030303 that right one?

On the back of the brochure it gives 08448 008 111 for direct enquries and bookings.
