Universal/IOA in November

[LMulligan]

Hi all, I am planning a trip to Universal/IOA the second week in November. Can anyone give me an idea of what kind of crowds to expect?

Thanks!

We went last year from the 2nd Thursday to the 3rd Thursday of November and while it wasn't really crowded, the 2nd week was definitely more crowded than the 3rd week. YMMV.

WWoHP was busy throughout the year but the rest of the parks...not so much. November is great time to visit.

Jersey week will be Nov. 7 - 11 this year (the kids in that state get the week or partial week off of school) and 11/11/11 is veteran's day, so I am expecting that week to be busy, but how busy is hard to gauge. Are there any crowd predictors for US like the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World???

To add 11/8 (Tues) is election day and many local public schools will be closed for that day.

None of the Orlando public school systems (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties) are closed that day...according to their calendars. We didn't get out of school on election day when I was a kid in Virginia.

Crowds during Nov are generally Very Low. Jersey week has a spike in attendance, as does Thanksgiving Week. For Thanksgiving, Sun-Wed are slow, Thurs (Turkey Day) is moderate. Fri/Sat = supercrazybusy.

I thought the crowds in the second week of November were really manageable and not crowded at all.
