How bad is Jersey Week?

[GeorgiaHoo]

We are going that week as well and I've read a couple of blogs about that the crowds aren't really any worse than normal. Haven't been that time frame before but I guess I'll find out.

On edit, I meant to say "AREN'T" really any worse, not "ARE." My bad.

We're booked November 4-10, and I'm starting to get a bit skittish about the crowds, but that really is the only timeframe that will allow us to (hypothetically) attend F&W and MVMCP. I also want to avoid the last weekend of F&W, because I know the crowds are usually insane for that.

Yep it's crowded New Jersey week.
New Jersey has a big population and the second highest household income in the USA. The first highest and fourth has around 9.5 million people combined. New Jersey has around 9 million. The number 3 state in income is very high populated but that is California. With the high population and income people probably just want to get out of the state for a little bit.

UHm...? What's that got to do with it being crowded or not? How much one makes and stuff? The cost of living is very high there too so it's all relative...
The fact that it is indirectly called Jersey Week is , There is a NJEA Convention held on the 1st Thursday& Friday after election day... All schools have only 2 or 2 1/2 days of schools & a few others have the whole week off..

Seriously, Don't fret...It'll be fine...You''l have a great time, and I'm sure want to go at this time for future visits. Weather is PERFECT, as you stated, F&W, XMas stuff... Crowds are way better than manageable.
