November trip questions

[farrishq]

Okay, so far I've heard about Jersey week, Soap Weekend, and Food and Wine Festival, all in the month of November. I am going to be at WDW Nov. 5th-11th. Please let me know some exact dates for these things. Just want to know what my family is in for. Thanks!

Jersey Week is Election Week this year (so November 1st) -- the actual convention is November 5th and 6th, I believe. Super Soap Weekend is November 13th and 14th. Food and Wine Festival starts in October and runs through November 14th.

Don't be concerned! We were there last year during the famed Jersey Week and the crowds weren't that bad. Compared to summer and spring crowds, they were practically nothing. Wait times for rides averaged about 10 minutes with longer waits of 30. Not a big deal!

I can verify - we were there this past November too, and the crowds were not bad at all.

Epcot crowds get a little heavier on the weekend due to Food and Wine Festival (but still not bad at all), and you'll be missing the crowds in MGM for Super Soap - even they weren't bad if you avoided certain areas.

Enjoy!

Don't worry it isn't that bad, I was there a few yrs ago during all of this and I didn't mind. I will be there this yr for everything othe r then Jersey week. Put it this way I was ther elast yr at Gay week and it was a zoo, I didn't even wanna be there. Novemeber is a perfect month you will have a FUntastic time.
