What to expect in November?

[sbpebbles]

We will be in Florida from November 4-14, visiting my sister who lives down there, and during that time she had mentioned she wants to take us to Disney for DD7 first trip there..Not sure exactly what days we will be at Disney but this is our first time going in November..back 10+ years ago, the last time i was there, we went in January...Just wondering what kinda crowds to expect and weather...we also have DS1 with us...we are staying to pack now already, the shorts and tee shirts, since it will be cold here before we know it..i plan on bringing at least one pair of pants and sweatshirts for the kids too and a jacket..but does it really get that cool down there during the days in November? we don't plan on being out late with the kids except one night for the Very Merry Christmas party..Any tips and/or advice would be great..TIA

We've been down aroung Thanksgiving time and the weather is usually still warm. You may need a hoodie in the morning or evening, though. But, it could get cool enough for long pants, so as long as you have one pair, that should be fine. You'll be there before the holiday so the crowds should be ok. I think the Osborne lights begin around Nov 10, so DHS will be more crowded at night.

I've always gone in Nov and the weather has always been great (if you prefer cool to hot!). Last year it was a little cool, mid 60s, but it has been up to mid 80s some years.

We make good use of the FP system and have waits under 20 minutes for all rides, except Dumbo, which took us 45 minutes our first time. Learned our lesson about that one, do it first or not at all!
