How are crowds the last week of F&W?

I'm planning a trip for next year for November - I'm trying to overlap it with the first week of MVMCP (historically starts around November 7) and go to F&W (which usually ends around November 14). I'm thinking about checking in around November 5 - which is possibly Jersey Week...? Based on past years, would that be an okay week?

We went last year November 12-19, and were there for the last few days of F&W and were able to go to MVMCP. The weather was PERFECT0 we were able to swim still and the humidity was very low. We thought the crowds were a lot larger than "advertised". Epcot was wall to wall people (we had long lines for most everything- ex: 45 min for Mexico ride, around 2 hours at Rope Drop for Test Track, etc.). Animal Kingdom was slated to be a 4 and turned out to be an 8. MK was busy as usual as well. I think if its quite doable if you have a strategy for touring. MVMCP was fantastic!

Thank you! We always go in October and crowds are always bigger than expected - we're hoping for a less crowded November trip in 2017 (it will be just my husband and me on that one). He really wants F&W when we are kid-free and I really want MVMCP because we've done MNSSHP seven times (eight, after this upcoming trip). It's just trying to figure out which week is best for balancing those two must-dos .
