How Busy Is WDW 2nd Week in Nov?

[natnelliesmom]

How busy is it actually going to be the second week of Nov.? We have not gone at this time before- but were led to believe both by friends and the volume calendar at Disney.com that it was a good week to go.
Now I am trying to fix some ADRs and there is NO availability for anything we want- all 10 days we are there! And I am not picky about times and am only looking for a table for 4.
Does this forecast a crowded week??
We were there last March at spring break and were looking forward to a quieter trip this time.
Any thoughts??
Thanks,
Sarah

That is Jersey week, when they get off from school Thursday and Friday, and some have off the Tuesday for election day - we're from NJ, and make our ADR's as far out as we could

Food & Wine Festival going on....Veterans Day...and maybe still free dining?

Just my luck.
Nothing I can do now. It can't possibly be as bad as spring break though.
Thanks for the ideas.

We go every year after Jersey Week and before Thanksgiving. Low Crowds, Low Heat! Great Time! THis year we are going Nov 8th-15th.....Epcot F&W ends Nov 9th , Jersey Week ends Nov 9th , Super Soap Weekend doesn't begin until the 15th ... There is still Veterans Day, though. Should be low crowds.

I'll give you a little perspective here: We're going November 7-10. When I booked about a month ago there was NOTHING on the monorail. I was able to secure a room at WL, then we added DD13's BFF so we had to shift to the Boardwalk area. Only AAA availability was at BC Standard room, AAA rate is $374 a night with tax. I received my first pin code mailer in 5 years (I kid you not) and was unable to use it unless we upgraded to lagoon view for even MORE money, so I think it's going to be busy. We have been there for the last weekend of F&W before and it gets insane. Super Soap is another busy time in that area as well. Also throw in the first MVMCP on the 10th and it will probably be busy.
