What should I expect Nov 12-20th?

I have never been to Disney in mid-November. What should I expect as far as crowds are concerned? We love going to January because the crowds are sooooo minimal! Will I be shocked at November crowds? November is "regular season" now - I hope we are not making a mistake......

Pretty minimal crowds, the absolute best weather. I usually go in November - usually this same week that you are going.

I see that Thanksgiving falls on the 24th this year so I can't answer about how that affects crowds but... the week before Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite time to visit wdw. The weather is fabulous (I think mid to high 70's) the crowds are minimal (15 minute wait is usually the longest we encounter) and best of all, it's already cold at home so it feels extra specially nice. Hope somebody can answer how the holiday effects the crowds. Good Luck

You should expect crowds the weekend of Super Soap and the end of Food and Wine Festival. We were there this past November 11th through 18th. It was crowded at MK on Friday the 12th and very crowded at EPCOT and MGM on Saturday and Sunday. And what I mean by crowds is hour long waits for some rides. Shoulder to shoulder people in certain areas. But once the weekend was over the crowds died down - ten and fifteen minute waits, empty buses, etc. The weather was PERFECT. Christmas decorations were up. You've made the right choice.
