First full week of Nov. 2013?

[Twinmom23]

Were you there??? Looking for help from anyone who was. We are trying to decide what to do. In 2013 we were there Oct. 23 to Nov. 4th. I was really surprised at how busy it was. The 4 years previous we had always gone in November and we overlap with Jersey week. (Even though we aren't from Jersey, our kids get the same 2 days off.) This has never been a problem in the past but now there is a marathon and they extended Food & Wine festival. We don't do either.

We are looking at Oct. 30-Nov. 9th. Was anyone there for that week last year after the 4th that can tell me how bad it was? Does the marathon bring in a ton of people? I can always switch to the week before Thanksgiving but I'd be giving up 2 extra days of vacation.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm interested in this information as well. We are booked for Nov. 1-Nov. 8; we've been the week after Thanksgiving for several years now. Switched it up this year

I wasn't there the first week of November 2013, but I can say that the free dining offer has blackout dates for check ins from 11/2 - 11/8. So Disney is expecting big enough crowds for that week that they aren't currently offering a discount/deal.

Don't know if that helps you decide anything, but I figured I'd throw the information out there...

We were there Oct31-Nov 10 and it really wasn't too bad. It did get busier the closer to the marathon weekend which also was Veterans Day weekend, but we planned accordingly and really were pleasantly surprised! The only time we weren't happy with crowds was the first night of MVMCP, it was crazy busy and a sell out.
