Fun!!We just booked our trip for the week after Thanksgiving! I'm so excited and want to share in the fun and planning with all my other November folks. So who's with me? I'll do my best to keep this updated and post important dates, etc.
Let the planning and anticipation begin!
Welcome! I can't wait to hear more about our upcoming holiday offerings.Going with my family Nov 28 - Dec 2, then heading up to USH for two days. (I'm on the December thread, too) We usually go in October, but I wanted the Christmas holiday this year! Staying at the Tropicana Inn. Can't wait to try all the Christmas treats!
Nothing yet but last year the DLR holiday season started on November 11th. I'm guessing for something similar this year. It's usually a Friday kickoff, so my bet is November 10th. I'll update here as soon as we find out for sure!Has it been officially announced yet what day in November is the kickoff? When do the ride overlays typically happen? Thank you!
Thanks! We moved our trip up from December to 11/6-11/10 so it would be neat if we caught a glimpse of some Christmas stuff that last day. My 3 year old is OBSESSED with Nightmare Before Christmas. Is that overlay on Haunted Mansion there all of November or just after kickoff?Nothing yet but last year the DLR holiday season started on November 11th. I'm guessing for something similar this year.

Haunted Mansion Holiday will already be up and running for your trip since it opens with the start of Halloween season. Yay! Happy for your little one to be able to experience it.Thanks!

Hmmm. Not sure about the impact of that conference. In general, it seems like conferences usually impact hotel prices more than park crowding.We are hoping to book for November before thanksgiving long weekend and the big holiday rush, but it looks like there is also a big Realtor conference the week of Nov 12th. Anyone have any thoughts on impact on park crowds with this? Hotel accommodations are definitely more scarce that week. Our other alternatives are first week Nov before holiday season likely kicks off or pushing into thanksgiving week.

Yes. We gave up on trying to make week of Nov 12 work which was our ideal choice but accommodations are way to high that week. We since booked first week of November knowing it will likely be before official holiday kick off but everything was cheaper plus we are hoping for low crowds as it’s right after Halloween and before holiday kick off.We were also hoping to go the same week, Nov 13-17, with park days on the 14, 15, and 16 (Failed at getting OBB tickets, pushing our potential September trip to November or December). I was only able to find one hotel room at a "decent" (read: still way too expensive for a motel at $398.50 a night) price - the Marriott Fairfield Anaheim Resort. Everything else was sold out or more expensive. Hoping the conference doesn't impact the crowds but I saw tickets for DL and DCA will go on sale to event-goers on July 25th.We might be switching to December...
I was checking hotels/motels that normally don't show up on the traditional booking sites, and I'm seeing Park Vue for those dates for $309/night. It is still fairly pricy for the property, but it's better than the Fairfield (IMHO) and closer.We were also hoping to go the same week, Nov 13-17, with park days on the 14, 15, and 16 (Failed at getting OBB tickets, pushing our potential September trip to November or December).

Exciting! I'll be there right after you at the new DLH DVC. I am a huge Mary Blair fan and I'm ridiculously excited to see her style sprinkled throughout the new tower and the rooms.My daughter and I will be there for the thanksgiving break Nov 24-27th staying at the new DVC DH
