Crowds 11/4-11/7??

[cruise-o-matic]

What will the crowds be like next weekend?

We land before 8 on thursday and plan to spend AM at MGM and Epcot after lunch.

What will the crowds be like Sat at Epcot, MGM or Typhoon Lagoon? Sat night at MK (open til 11)?

How about PI on Fri night?

I have never toured WDW during those dates, so I'm going to bump this back to page one in hopes that some of our veterans can offer advice.

We've been to the MK in early November and the crowds were few and far between. It was perfect, weather and everything. My only complaint is that the parks close earlier.

Something about a teacher convention in Jersey, and school is out most of the week and lots of families come down.... Im crossing my fingers too as we will be there on the 3rd- 7th

Will be there 11/2-11/7. Had one post a few weeks ago tell me that many rides are walk-ons and the max wait for TOT and RnRC were 15 min. That would truly be a dream come true! Yes, it is "Jersey Week" but most of the folks from NJ don't make a big deal out of that. I'm cautiously expecting light crowds until Sat. Food and Wine fest. is at EPCOT, MGM shouldn't be bad except that it is EE day, and MK will likely be packed Sat night because it is the only park open late and Sat is the only night of the week for Spectromagic. Advice is to view the 11:00 Spectro as everyone will be at the 9:00 parade. (Can't say about TL or PI, never been there but I would expect them to be fine). See you there!!

4 days to the World!!

I can't tell you for sure but there will be a good crowd at this time. Not anything like the summer though! And the good thing is you are in between the Halloween and Christmas crowds. It will be enjoyable but the MK (open until 11pm night) will be your most crowded event (I would say). We went to WDW at this time a couple years ago and really enjoyed it! Have lots of fun and be sure to give a trip report when you get back!

That is about the same timeframe that we've been to WDW over the years. The crowds have always been on the light side, but I've heard in the past year that more people are aware of that fact and the crowds have picked up a bit. Still not anywhere near summertime or holiday crowds, though.

We're going the same dates- 11/2-11/7 staying at POR.
I'm really hoping it won't be too crowded. I planned the trip for that time, thinking it wouldn't be crowded and then I came on here and found out that week is "Jersey Week".

I read on another thread about crowds on this time where another poster, who lives in NJ, said that "1 out of 3" of the people she saw at her Halloween parade were going to Disney next week! Yikes!

I hope it's not too busy!

Searching for Star Wars Guy....

How did you get your picture with the Indiana Jones Actor? My son is 9 and loves these movies. He would go crazy over this. Please hurry as we will be at WDW in 6 days.

Thanks!!

not starwarsguy..............but we got a pic of my 3yo and indiana jones after the show by waiting over on the lower right hand side of the seating area and asking a cm if it was possible. the crowds were completely out of the seating area and we got about 5 mins alone with indy. next time we do this we are gonna bring an indy hat that they sell in the gift shop for him to sign. it was a thrill for my 3 year old!

I think the crowds may vary from year to year. We were there in 2000 during that time and it was crowded - but not as bad as mid-summer crowds. Even the CMs were talking about how crowded it was - comparing it to summer. Went back in late May/early June of 2003 and it was a much lighter crowd than it was in November 2000.

I'm from NJ and will be there Nov 3-8. We are specifically going because our schools are closed, but I'm not expecting large crowds.
