What to expect 11/3-11/7 crowd-wise??

[wdwphanatic]

From what I'm reading on the boards, it's been very busy at WDW lately. I'm beginning to get nervous about my trip next week... Do you all think the crowds will die down after Halloween or will it remain this busy through Veterans' Day? We're aware of the fact that it's "Jersey Week" but we thought it would be lighter crowd-wise than other times of the year... Any advice or touring strategies from those who've been recently would be MUCH appreciated!! We were thinking of taking advantage of EE, particularly at MK and MGM -- is this a good idea or should we avoid the EE parks at all costs?? We'll be traveling with 4 kids who are 3, 6 and 9, 2 of whom have never been to WDW before, so we want to pack in as much as possible!!

Thanks, in advance, for your help,
Sarah

You shouldn't be too bad. I think a lot of us aren't sure what to expect. It will definately be less crowded than peak or holiday times, so you need to be flexible. Get to the parks early. Have and Idea of what rides you really want to do. If the park fills up, move to another park.

EE should always be good for a couple hours of short lines. You can always hop to another park if it fills up. I like the idea of adding an extra hour to the day, particularly when the parks close so early.

I'll be there the same week. Have posted the same question and the responses are anywhere from "park crowds are extremely thin" to "crowds are there but manageble". Either scenario is ok with me. We've seen it all! I'm sure that some of the recent crowds are due to MNSSHP and hurricane(s) rescheduling. Most Jerseyans that responded said not to make a big deal about "Jersey Week". I'm inclined to think that we will be fine maybe with the exception of Saturday the 6th. I have read so much about MK being more crowded on Sat than any other day that I just today changed my itenerary to go to MK on the 5th and MGM on the 6th. (Sounds as if you are thinking of doing the same thing). I'll be cautiously optomistic about crowds, after all, schools are in session (except for NJ!), and enjoy it any way I can get it after all........it's DISNEYWORLD!!


See you there!!
