if you have been in november i could do with your expertise

I read too, that TL would be closed but I keep getting conflicting advice, I also thought they wouldn't close it again after its only just been closed so maybe it won't , the shark reef is so cool my DS LOVED it so I'm really hoping it won't be shut this year. I don't think (?) BB has anything like it.
can't wait til november 12

Just confirming what everyone else has said - November is a great time to go. We go every November, although we stay on the Gulf beaches and then drive up to Orlando for a few days. The parks aren't exactly empty, but the queues are maybe 20 - 30 minutes max, and that's without Fastpass. The weather should be good too - not too unbearable and usually dry. We are going this year from 5th - 20th as it does get busier at Thanksgiving.

Hi

We went the first two weeks of november last year. The first week was hotter than their normal. The second week was cooler but you still only needed a light cardigan for the evening.

Not sure about dates but Supersoap weekend at MGM was in the middle of November last year. We didn't realise and had planned our last day there. It was rearly packed, plus we didn't know any of the soaps featured. I would avoid it if you could.

Oh no please don't let them close TL - although I would love to do BB again, and my DH2B has never done it as he's only been once with me and it was shut... but I really am a bigger fan of TL - those steps at BB just kill me and its much more out in the open and hot... although thinking about it the dark slide is kinda cool and the family raft... but NO I want to do the new slides at TL :0(

Of course if BB were open it would always be a good excuse to book a 2006 trip...

i'm going the same time too, flying out on the 11th, leaving the 25th, if you're near the wedding pavilion on the afternoon of the 21st pop by and wish me luck!

Sorry not been in November before, going this year in november and the info seems really good also seems like a better time of year to go, we went in April 2004 for our 1st trip and unless we used the fastpass we would have queued for a min of 1hr.

Will try to stop by, but flying home that day

Karen, When we stayed at the Yacht Club in Nov. 2003, Our room was directly looking over the Pavilion! We were on the third floor looking towards Epcot. We watched the fireworks almost every night!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!! The view couldn't get any better! We watched two weddings from our balcony. We loved it!! Congratulations! The setting with the light house and the water! You are so lucky! Have a wonderful day. I would love to stop by, but we are leaving on the 20th I HATE LEAVING DISNEY!!
You will have a magical time! Take care!!! Lori

Hi,

I either go in November or May.

November is great for beating crowds , but the downside is some attractions are closed for rehab. In the past I've found Blizzard Beach to be one of these.

We went to MGM on soap weekend and it was great! It looked like there were huge queues but they were all to meet soap stars - we walked on most rides without a wait!

We were there from the 4th to the 26th November last year and it was excellent, weather and crowds were fantastic. The only day that we found busy was MGM on Thanksgiving - but I had to go that day to see the switching on of the Osboune Family Lights.

I would agree with what some other posters have said about taking a cardi or something for evenings as I tended to get a bit chilly when we were waiting for parades / fireworks etc.

I am very jealous ! Hope you have a fab time and enjoy all of your planning - it starts your holiday early!!
Love
Gems

We've been twice in November around thanksgiving time - parks generally busier around thanksgiving, your better off going shopping on those days. Taking something warm to wear is a good tip.

When we went in Nov 2003 it was freezing in the evenings and earlier mornings. Keep a check on the weather channels while your there, the weather forecasters are very accurate if forecasting the weather. If they say it will rain at noon it WILL.
