Questions and help with easywdw

[DisneyDreamer04]

I have been looking at crowd calendars. I currently have a trip booked for 9/1-9/9, because of the historically low crowds, free dining, and we don't have to use as many vacation days from work.... Well I have been looking at November. I am looking at the whole month on easywdw, and November looks a lot more crowded.. I have heard weather is MUCH better in November? Can anyone tell me how bad crowds really are for like 11/15-11/23? Hoping for similar crowds of September. That is the only time we have visited wdw, except one year in December, and it was substantially busier. I am ok with some waiting, I just don't wanna wait for 30-45 minutes for IASW.
Any insight would be really great

That is the week before Thanksgiving right?

We went that week before TG last year and it was amazing! Low crowds, and the weather was so nice. Highly recommend. We saw the Osborne Lights and castle was lit up, trees were up.

The crowds starting pouring in on our last day, which was the Saturday before Thanksgiving, so much so, that we left MK early and just spent the rest of the day at the pool.

But the rest of the week was great.

If you have specific questions about Easy's calendar, you may get more answers on the forums there.

We have gone the week before Thanksgiving, and it wasn't terribly crowded, but not as light as early September. I think more people would take kids out of school right before a holiday than the first week or so of school.

Easywdw shows that week at mostly 2s and 3s - ?

Thank you guys very much It is good to here that y'all have thought it was a good time of year to go. I think what was scaring me was some of those 6's, 7's and even a few eights in that month....then it bottoms out to 2's and 3's like lovetink said. I haven't ever seen those high of predictions in September, so was trying to get a feel and find out if anyone else had been the week before thanksgiving and in September to compare?

Thank you guys again

I just had to comment because I have a trip scheduled for BOTH of the weeks that you mentioned I go the weekend after labor day every year due to an event with my husband's work. Crowds levels are AWESOME, but it gets EXTREMELY hot in the afternoon.

This year, I wanted to plan a separate trip for my mom and me to go, and chose that week in November (our dates are 14 - 21). It looks to be a pretty slow week, and the weather should be a lot milder. If you read through the fine print on easywdw.com, the reason the crowds are higher earlier in the month is due to Jersey week and Veteran's day weekend. It shouldn't affect the crowds the week I am going - or so I hope!!

Either way, I think you will have a GREAT trip - I would recommend November because of the holiday festivities, but you should be good no matter what you choose. Have a great time!

I went that exact week last year, and it was perfect. Low crowds and great weather. So perfect we're doing it again this year!

Woohoo! So glad to hear this. I am happy to hear that the week is a low crowd based on y'all's experience I guess the worry wart inside me starts to panic, about changes..
