Last week of October or first week of November

I am (probably) planning a week trip for end of October and wondered if there was really any difference between the last week of October (Oct 24 - 30) or first week of November (Oct 31 - Nov 6). We have no interest in the Halloween stuff (way too scary for us lol) and haven't ever been before. We'll be staying at Cabana Bay, and hope to go to Volcano Bay as well (we're from Canada so don't think the weather will be a problem). They are similar in price, with the November week about $300 less. I don't see hours for November yet, but believe the parks close early both weeks.

I can't postpone the trip, with the changes to requirements for flying to the US, I won't be able to fly there with my mixed vaccines. Kiddo and I are really looking forward to a vacation, Disney is our usual go to but price wise it's just too much more right now. I think we will have a lot of fun, and while we won't have the express pass, we'll have 5 days to visit the parks so I hope that will give us time to do everything we want.

Would there be a big difference in the two weeks? Kiddo is wondering if there is trick or treating there, I don't think so (we've done MNSSHP a few times so he remembers that).

The only thing I can tell you is that the first “full week” of November is “Jersey Week.” New Jersey kids have off two days that week each year and parents take them out the additional three days and go to Disney or Universal for the week. It gets more crowded every year. I’m sorry I can’t compare the crowds to the last week of October for you though. But I know they are busy with Halloween that last week.
