How crowded is Jersey week

[3princesses+aprince]

We are planning a trip in November 07. We were planning on the first week . I just heard yesterday about jersey week, i've never even heard of it, and heard that it is crowded that time. I've been 2 times before 1 in feb. and 1 in march which are very crowded times, i was just looking for less crowds. Can anybody compare jersey week to feb. or march. Thanks
I don't mind crowds(hey it's disney) but just want a little less crowds.

The official dates for the convention are Nov 8 & 9, so Jersey week will be most crowded Wed Nov 7 to Sun Nov 11. But some schools are off all week, so it can go really from the Sat before (Nov 3). Last few years, we've been going Wed-Tues, and you really see a diference when everyone leaves on Sunday.

We've been going for the last six years in a row, our only other time was in September, so I can't compare with your other dates. How crowded isn't so much the question as there are also NO good deals for hotel rooms, and it's regular season when 2 years ago it was value season. I just booked our room a few weeks ago, and 7 months out there were no AAA rates for regular or woods view at WL. Codes may come out, but there are no rooms available.

What also makes Jersey week worse, is that at least half of the time, it's also Soap Opera Weekend which adds a lot more people from all over, and you have to avoid MGM on the weekend.

If you have a choice of days, go another time. We're nice people from Jersey but there's a lot of us. But when you can take a week's vacation and my DS only misses 1 day school, that's the time for us to go.

the crowd levels for the 1st week of Nov. 2005 (unofficial guide 2006) were:4,4,4,6,4,4,5 their predicted levels for 2006 are:4,4,6,4,4,5,4 thats pretty good.

Well, here's one Jersey family that's planning on being there for Jersey Week 2006. The crowds are far smaller than during spring, even with the extra Jersey folk.

Here's a tip -- later this year, check the NJEA (New Jersey Education Association) website for the convention dates for 2007. They should go up on the website in the fall. It's sometimes the first Thursday and Friday of the month, sometimes the second.

These ARE the dates for 2007.

Oh thanks so much. We will be going the 1-8, so it looks like for the most part we'll miss big crowds.

as someone who was down there last year, I wouldnt agree with those #'s. It was quite crowded IMO. Didnt know it was Jersy week until about a week before I left

Have no fear Jersey week is great! We went during 2004 and are returning this November. We've been to WDW every month of the year with the exception of July, February and September. It was much less crowded than any spring time trips we've taken. The weather is gorgeous! It doesn't seem like it's overly crowded just a large percentage of people there from Jersey.
