We too have been in Nov. and experienced the same. And the place is all ready for Christmas! Beautiful! It's the time we go to WDW also as the weather, price and crowds are just right!
I'm quite pleased to hear all this . I'm going in early November - unfortunately one of my days is going to be on the weekend but that can't be helped.
I do think that a nice number of people adds atmosphere but if it's too crowded - I went during the October 1/2 term holday and it was a nightmare!
