Yes, I'm from NJ and was in WDW, too, last week!!
NJ week happens to be a Teacher's Convention every year, the kids get off Thursday and Friday, the first full week in November (it usually falls around Veterans' weekend). I know we ended up taking the kids out of school the whole week. The crowds weren't bad at all this week. It did get crowded on that weekend, which also happened to be Veteran's weekend. I think there were also locals taking a long weekend at the Parks.
Hope that helps for your future planning!
