Early November crowds?

[Miffy]

Hi everyone. I've got that Mickey itch that needs to be scratched. We usually go in early or mid-January, so we're used to a no-crowds experience, but this year I was thinking of going in the beginning or middle of November. We were there the 1st week of December 3 years ago, and it was way too crowded for us. Is November comparable? Better? Worse?

All help and info is appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Make sure to avoid "Jersey Week". Last year it was the first full week of Nov., but I do not know the exact dates for this year.

We were there for Jersey Week last year, but it wasn't bad at all with Tour Guide Mike. We avoided crowds and quite easily, but it is definitely not empty.

I would recommend the full week before Thanksgiving. We were there several years ago and it was less crowds than even in September. We waited in line for nothing.

Even the CMs indicated how slow it was.

"Jersey Week" begins on November 6th, with some of us arriving over the weekend before and some of us arriving midweek.

this will be our 3rd year going the week before thanksgiving
celabrating son's 4 b-day. Last year and the previous year
hardly any crowds. Just an example last year 1 night DH,DW,DS
we all went on TT in the early evening and it was so slow the CM
told us we could stay on the ride without getting out (which of course
we did). Buses seemed almost lonely many mornings just the 3 of
us on them (SWEEEEEEEET)

We usually go for Thanksgiving week, but went a few years ago during Veteran's Day week and it was great. Even though it was F & W festival there were very mild crowds. I don't think it was "Jersey week" though. Not really sure when that is.

We were there during Jersey Week last year. We thought the crowds were unbearable compared to what we normally experience in October. But, not only was it Jersey Week, there was also the Food and Wine Fest going on and Super Soaps Weekend at MGM. We will be going back to our October visits from now on.
