I just got back yesterday and was there Fri 11/11 - Sun 11/20. Fri 11/11 and Sat 11/12 were very busy (MK and Epcot at least!). Sun 11/13 I was at MGM and even with it being the last day of Super Soap Weekend, crowds didn't seem to be any worse than a usual weekend to me when waiting on rides (park itself was pretty crowded though, but most of the congestion was around the soap star events). Mon 11/14 - Fri 11/18, the crowds were very light in all 4 parks, only thing with a long line was Soarin at Epcot, but that's to be expected since it just opened. For the most part we walked on to most rides, and for the things we had to wait for, it was usually less than 10-15 min! This past Saturday 11/19, and Sunday 11/20, though, the crowds did pick up. But at that point we didn't care too much since we had no problem seeing everything we wanted earlier in the week when there weren't many people there!

We were just there 11/11 - 11/19 and during the week it didn't seem too bad. Sat & Sun (11/12 & 11/13) were pretty busy at Epcot, last 2 days of F&WF, but i expected that. Monday at AK was pretty mellow. We did n't go to the parks on Tuesday and Wednesday the MK was moderatley crowded, but we were able to get fastpasses for the things we wanted. We headed over to Epcot that night and it was pretty empty. We were able to snag a last minute table at Alfredo's for dinner! EMH was really mellow. Thursday we spent at AK & Epcot and both parks were really easy to get around. We went to Kennedy on Friday & headed back to Epcot on Saturday. I really didn't feel that the crowds were that much heavier on Saturday. All in all, I think it was a really great time to tour WDW. Judging by the crowds at the airport on Saturday, I would imagine the parks are alot more crowded this week.

We were there 11/10 to 11/18. We stayed away from the parks pretty much for the end of Jersey week, and the week-end, due to all the "events". Monday we did MGM, all walk-ons, Tuesday we did AK, night time EMH and we rode Kali River 5 times in a row without even having to get off the last 3 times, everything else was walk on, Wednesday we did Epcot, did Soarin, walk on at opening, and Test Track 3 times in a row, all walk on, everything else, walk on, did MK Thursday AM, they were even sending empty cars around Space Mountain and Splash Mountain was even closed that day for refurb. Did Big Thunder, 3 times in a row all walk-on, also Buzz twice in a row, walk on....did nine rides in all from 9-11 AM. We've gone in mid-July, mid-August, first week of October, and first week of December, and this was the empty-ist, I've ever seen the parks.

I avoided all EMH's except for evening AK and it really worked out well. We did World Showcase on Sunday 11/13 night, which was the last night of the Food and Wine Festival. We also went on Saturday, but it was so crowded that we left. I figured it would be better Sunday with people leaving from the previous week and it was. Went to the Festival of the Masters art show at DD on Friday 11/11 and it was crowded, but not unmanagable, my niece was still able to just walk up to the activity booths and do the activities with no waiting. I would go the week between Jersey Week and Thanksgiving Week in a heartbeat.

We have gone during different weeks in Nov. before and we were there this time 11/14-11/19. We only used FP once the whole time and that was for the Pooh ride. It was a great time to go. I was amazed, because in the past during Nov. we always used FP.

We were in the parks Sun 11/13- Fri 11/19 and there were plenty of people... but we didn't notice cause we used TourGuideMike. Our longest wait was 10 minutes for Soarin with FastPass. Walked on pretty much everything else!

I will never go again without his help!!

We were at WDW November 11-20. I was so disappointed at how large the crowds were at the Food & Wine Festival on Sunday, November 13. The lines for food were 25-30 deep and I didn't even manage to get one sample of anything!

The crowds weren't bad Monday-Thursday but not nearly as light as I would have preferred. I'm hoping that it was extra crowded the first weekend since there were 3 major things going on at parks and Downtown Disney and it was Veteran's weekend as well.

As a teacher I only get to take a one-week vacation every other school year, so it will be 2 more years until I get to check it out again during November.
