Please opinions on Jersey Week crowds

[DisneyDreamer2]

Is it really bad? I know Soap Opera weekend is at the Studios that weekend too, so we'll stay clear of that. There seem to be a lot of rooms still available with the special package rate and the Unofficial guide shows only Sat at an 8 and then 5,6 and 7, the other days. We will be going the 9-15th of November. Tell me your opinions or strategies. Please.

We went last year during what is considered the height of Jersey week. Super Soap weekend was the same weekend and it was the last weekend of Food & Wine Festival. Epcot was very busy that weekend, more so afternoon and evening. I've actually never seen it that busy, but I do normally go off peak. ADR's were very difficult to get for the same day, if not impossible.

I think as long as you plan ADR's way ahead of time, and try and take advantage of getting to the parks early, you'll be able to fit everything in. We usually go to WDW in October, when it's not too crowded. I was pretty amazed at how busy Epcot was, but it was the last weekend for F&W. The next week was really, really quiet by the way!

I've gone during Jersey week the past 3 years and we've never had a problem with crowds. Compared to going in the summer, it was fine. I think the longest wait in line was 20 minutes.

Thank you for your replies. We have gone in early May and early February and have never really had crowds. With Veterans day, soap opera weekends, and the end of the Food and Wine festival I was a bit worried. But I think I have a good plan. Thanks!
