Please tell me about November

[tweetie]

We might be going 2nd week of November 05, which happens to be Election & Jersey Week and Vetern's Day at the end of the week. How do you think the crowds and weather will be?

Would 3rd week of June be a better choice?

Thanks

We went Jersey week last year and it was great. Not as hot as June and we had a few brief showers but nothing major. It was warm enough for swimming and for the water parks. Crowds were very manageable as well. With a few exceptions, we pretty much were able to just walk on to most rides.

Have a great time!

We are also going the 2nd week and i have good news for you.
Jersey week is the 1st week this year.
We will be flying in on sat. the 6th and have a non park day planned that day and are staying till sat. the 13th. But I am pretty sure that the end of jersey week will be sunday the 7th. Hopefuly alot of people will be checking out and it will be queit till thurs. ( vetern's day ) and that is also super soap weekend!

We're staying at POP!

I love Jersey week, of course I am also from New Jersey. Low crowds and great weather make for an exceptional trip plus you get the Food & Wine festival at Epcot. And Jersey week is the 1st week in November this year so don't worry about that. Last year even with the Fairytale package crowds were more than reasonable. Enjoy.

NO!

We usually go during "Jersey Week". This year our kids wanted to go, so we went a couple weeks ago...I told them if they want to go with us again, they will have to miss a week of school. We were not ready for the June heat and crowds!

We wouldn't be going until next November and that is state election year kids are out 2 days for that plus veteran's day kids are out one day and then it is also Jersey week. I was just concerned about the crowds and weather.

We have only been once and that was over Easter and I really wished I had listened. We had a great time but it was crowded. I just don't want to make the same mistake again. We missed a lot of stuff!

Thanks

Always go every year in November and seem to hit jersey week most times. Not from Jersey but found they were really nice fun loving crowd. Not overly crowded and most rides did not have long waits. We just mingled in with the jersey people and had lots of fun with them.

Contrary to what a lot of people say....we're not so bad, huh?!

If I had to choose between November and the 3rd week in June I would say November hands down! The weather alone would decide it for me.......It is so hot and humid and add to that the chance of rain everyday in June and the crowds November is a much better choice. November weather is usually perfect! no humidity the rainy season is over and the crowds are manageable, not to mention the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT!

The so-called "Jersey Week" is always the first week in November since the schools are closed on Thurday and Friday for the anual Teachers Convention. You should be fine the second week if this is a concern for you.

Early November is a great time to go - usually warm during the day, cool at night (but not cold!), no rain and low crowds. We've been there during the Halloween week on at least four other trips (and will be again this year from Oct 28-Nov3). Absolutely a a family favorite time for us.

I would also go in November, over June...PERFECT weather and low crowds. Have fun!

November is such a great time to go. No matter what I would not take June over November!!

Thanks for everyone's advice. I was just worried with shorter touring hours and it being Jersey Week, Election week and Veteran's Day all that week how the crowds would be.
