Epcot Food & Wine Festival / Jersey Week

[V2000]

Hello!

I will be going to Disney World Nov 8th - Nov 11th.

I am concerned about the crowds due to Veteran's Day, Jersey Week, the Wine & Dine Marathon, and the Food & Wine Festival.

Just want to know your experiences if you traveled during this time in the past. How did the events affect the crowds and your overall experience?

I would love to try the Food & Wine Festival. I've never been before and I'm scared of the crazy lines for food. I was thinking of trying to go on Monday the 11th Veteran's Day. What do you think????


Does anyone know the dates for Jersey Week?

I have been during this time for the past 3 years (I run the 1/2 marathon)...last year I felt that the crowds were high esp. at Epcot...Monday is that last day for Food and Wine so it is busy...also, that is when the Christmas parties start, so on party night MK closes at 7:00 which means higher Epcot/HS crowds...

We aren't too bothered by crowds...
I would suggest having a plan...

Not sure about Jersey week.

We went that same week last year the crowds we very low wait times for rides we less than 20 min. The F and W fest is fun weekends and the after 5 crowd get busier do we went to epcot during the week. You will start to see Christmas decorations slowly going up towards the end of the week and the EMH changed on us while we were there so make sure to check those if you're staying in site.

We did the first MVMCP and it was a sold out packed night.. otherwise it was a perfect trip..PS our prior trip was Easter break so Nov was a pleasant surprise!! Have a blast!!

That's awesome that you run in the marathon.
What is your plan? Do you have any suggestions?
