How Busy November 13-20th?

[summerrluvv]

We have a trip planned for 11/13-11/20. I know soap weekend runs until the 14th. Is that mainly at MGM? Has anyone been at this time of the year? Just curious what to expect. We have been twice in October and it seems the crowds really picked up last year.

Hi summerrluvv --

We went to WDW 11/16/2002 - 11/23/2002 and had an absolutely fantastic time. Park wait times were very low and rarely reached 30 mins (only a few times during peak). Although the park hours are shorter, you still get so much done during each day. Early in the day and later at night, most rides were walk-on. Temps were in the upper 70s to low 80s, and we even did BB one day. I'd recommend a sweatshirt at night, since some nights are cool (but I still wore shorts). Also, when we were there they just started putting up Christmas decorations throughout the resorts and parks, and some of the Disney characters were dress up in holiday attire as well. You'll have a wonderful time this time of year!!!

Thanks for your reply

I second that. We went during that time in 2000 and the crowds were practically non-existant. The longest we waited in line was 10 minutes. Perfect time of year!

This is my favorite time to visit. It is one of the lowest attendance times of the year (as long as you avoid Thanksgiving week which you are) and the weather is fabulous. It is cooler at night and early in the morning but shorts and t-shirts with a light jacket is sufficient. It is also the month with the lowest amount of rainfall.

Like it was already mentioned, the park hours are shorter but there are less people and therefore less waiting.

But, keep it a secret. We don't want this to become a crowded time of year.....
