How's the Weather in November??

[MamaKate]

Hello!! I'm trying to plan a trip to DLRP and I'm wondering what the weather is like in November.

Also, is it extremely crowded the week of Thanksgiving, or since it's an American holiday, are the crowds manageable?

Thanks for the help!!

When we went last November it was quite cold but we had hardly any rain. The crowds were very manageable, we got in rides within minutes and could see all the parades without waiting for ages. I don't think Thanksgiving will affect it much if at all, didn't notice it last year that's for sure.

Thanks Steve!

I figured it would probably be cold, but we can manage. That's great that it won't be too crowded, ad I think this may be the best time of the year for us to go.

Do you know if the Fantillusion parade runs in November? The DLP website shows it running for this November, but I thought I read somewhere it only runs in the summer season ! If it does run in November, these will definately be the time of year I'll go.

Thanks again,
Katherine

This is from the dlp.info newsletter, looks promising:

While the missing exact dates for performances of Disney's Fantillusion during the upcoming winter and especially Christmas Season continues to create confusion, internal sources once again confirmed that plans are to run Disney's Fantillusion daily as of 8th of November 2003 till the 31st of March 2004 just as the Main Street Electrical Parade in the last years. If cutbacks would have to be realized or the already difficult staffing situation for the streetacular would get even worse instead of canceling the whole parade plans have been made to take one float out of the Fairy Gardens section (1st act) and the Villains section (2nd act) each. Most propably this would be the Butterfly Unit (depicted below) and the Bat Forest Unit.

We were there late October last year for 3 days & it rained heavily for all 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But not crowded.

Is it the norm to rain in November or is it mostly just cold with no rain. When does the rainy season usually end. We will be traveling during the very end of November, so I'm hoping the rain will be gone!

Thanks,
