First week in NOV?

[Disneymommie]

We just found otu our school has off the first week in Nov. I am calling today to get ressies at SSR, our home resort. I know this is"Jersey week" How crowded is it? Because my DH is a school teacher we always go in the summer, generally end of Aug. We are excited to go when it is not 110 degrees out.

So how crowded during this week and what are the temps like? Thanks

We have been there the last week of October and it was in the 90's all week, but the weather stations were saying that they were above average for that time of year.

We go jersey Week each year. the Weather can be iffy. One year we needed jeans and sweatshirts day and night, one year just at night and one year not at all. As for the crowds, they are definately manageable! We have never been in Aug, but we have been in June and boy was it crowded. We usually do not wait much more than 15-20 minutes for a ride, unless it is TSM. Enjoy this wonderful time of year to visit...and this year you get to go on Halloween!

Jersey Week is not as crowded as some people would have you think. The crowds are definitely manageable and the ride waits are not really bad at all.

Generally, the weather is warm during the day and cool at night, although it can get pretty cold. One year people were wearing winter coats in the evening, but that's not the norm.

We have been NJ week many times as well- we have always been able to swim in stormalong bay! Just one year it was chilly for part of the week, but it warmed up enough by Weds to wear shorts and swim. And the crowds are fine- nothing at all like what I've seen Thanksgiving week! I think it's a great time to go to WDW! And I LOVE that we always run into friends from home while we're there- fun for the kids AND us!

We were there the first week of Nov. last year. Crowds were ok (restaurants were definitely busy, especially in Epcot, so get ADRs). It was never really hot--and in fact a couple of days were cool and almost rained on us. The only time it really poured was when we were in a restaurant eating--so we were lucky. We thought it was beautiful.

Our trips are typically end of Oct/first of Nov as we love this time of year. Crowds and weather are usually pretty good. I think you'll enjoy Nov over the heat and humidity of Aug.

We have spent many "Jersey" weeks at WDW. The crowds are OK. I am a planner so we make the most of early mornings and Fastpass. We usually are back at our resort by 2:00 pm for a break.

The weather has been nice for us. We usually get one or two swimable days in, with the rest in the 70's. This year we did need sweatshirts though.

Good luck and I guess will see you in Nov. at SSR.
