Forgive my stupidity, but what exactly is Jersey week?
Hi! You're not stupid- I never heard of Jersey Week until last year, when we were at WDW during the middle of it! It's not an "Official" Disney event, just an informal gathering of NJ folks.
The NJ schools are closed much of the week of November 7-11 this year (the actual week varies) because of the NJ State Teachers' Convention and Election Day. Many NJ folks take the opportunity to head to WDW for that week, since they will not miss many school days, and the crowds are much lower than in summer or the holiday season.
We were at WDW during Jersey Week last year... I was really worried about crowds, but it was fine. Yes, there were lots of people there from NJ. The crowds, IMO, weren't bad at all. We walked on to many rides, but there were some that got longer lines at midday. I think that happens, though, no matter what time of the year you go. There really isn't such a thing as a time of year when it is super slow anymore.
As long as you plan a little bit, get to the parks early, and don't stress out, you'll be fine! November is a great time to be at the World- wonderful weather and much fewer crowds than at most other times of the year.
