*** Official November 2018 Thread - It's Turkey Lurkey Time! ***

[loveshak22]

Looking to go for the first time in November and need advice about when is the best time. Only doing 3-4 nights since we did a long trip in Feb. What week would you recommend for best crowds? Thanks in advance, so excited to be there in November with you fine folks

Typically the last week of F&W is in the beginning of November and then all the Christmas decorations go up and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party starts around the week before Thanksgiving. Neither of the 2018 schedules are out yet but you can Google the 2017 dates to see about when they start and end. Does one seem more appealing to you than the other? I would avoid the week of Thanksgiving. That tends to be quite busy!

I read decorations start going up November 2 and last year MVMCP started on 11/8 i believe. F&W ended 11/13 last year.

I read decorations start going up November 2 and last year MVMCP started on 11/8 i believe. F&W ended 11/13 last year.

I didn't realize decorations went up that early! I thought it was around the same time as MVMCP started and I thought that was a later start date as well - like the 2nd or 3rd week of November! I would assume 2018 start and end dates will be similar. I'm hoping for a Tuesday, November 13th MVMCP!

Planning to book a trip the 15th-19th at POFQ! My DH and I CANT WAIT!

Hi! Add me to the WDW November 2018 travelers list! I'm still debating number of days and resorts. I was originally torn between waiting for the F&W schedule to come out and trying to go the last week of F&W, but think I'd rather go the week before Thanksgiving and do MVMCP instead. Such tough choices!!!

Wahoo!!! Welcome to the roll call!

We were there last year around the end of the Halloween Party and beginning of Christmas. The last Halloween party was on November 1. On November 2 Magic Kingdom had all the Halloween decorations down, the flowers in front of the train station were poinsettias, CMs were in holiday clothing and carols were piped onto Main Street. It was absolutely amazing! The tree wasn't up yet, but garland was all over the place and I believe the soldiers were around the flag pole. If you are there anytime in November, you will catch the decorations!

Heading HOME to celebrate Mickey Mouse 90th birthday!!!

POP Century - Nov. 13 - 20, 2018

 

[MiracleCream]

Hello everyone! I’m embarrassed to say I can’t remember if I posted yet! I’m planning last week of November and wanted to ask if anyone had opinions about that week not being available in either bounceback offers. Has this happened before and if so, were there still discounts that came out for it in that case? I hope that makes sense.

Update! We have one (1) link added to the top of the first post, wahoo! If you're a runDisney fan joining us for marathon weekend, make sure you check-in with the Official Wine & Dine 2018 thread!

 

[NikkiDP]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! Food and Wine Festival runs from Aug 30 - Nov 12. Bring on the food!!

I was hoping it would extend a little further into November, but I'm very excited that we will just be able to catch the last few days!

My best friend and I (since we were 3!) are turning 40 this year and heading to Disney in November to celebrate! We are staying 11/27 - 12/1 at POFQ, though willing to change resorts depending on discounts.

Fun!! One day, hopefully I'll get to do that!

 

[Newsies]

I have another exciting update for us November travelers!! As some of us know, the Food and Wine Festival dates were released yesterday and they extend almost two full weeks into November! A festival-specific thread is up and running on the Disney restaurants board, and can be found here. crazy4wdw does a great job of collecting and posting information as soon as it's released, and it'll be a great place to discuss specifics on the festival!
