What To Expect In November.......

[pershing]

Born and raised in Jersey but live in Mass. now.

I forgot about those Teacher Convention days!

Anyway, I'm going November 4-13 and then 3 day DCL. I got in on the extended Fairytale Package.

Everything I read said with the exception of Thanksgiving week, the crowds are low. I was surprised to read in that earlier post that it was crowded last year.

Oh well! At least I'll be among my own kind. Maybe I'll even get my accent back again. My kids have a wicked New England accent which is so weird for me.

Also I read probably on this website but I can't remember, that one of the water park is closed in November for repairs. And that it is usually Typhoon Lagoon but this year it will be Blizzard Beach.

Bummer!

There's hardly any E-ride nights in November either. That's a double bummer, but still can't wait to go!

Hi HoneyPooh,
This will be my first time in the fall too, so I've been curious about crowds. The last time I went was Easter of last year and I'll never do that again!! I prefer early February, but I couldn't do it this year

We'll be there from 11/15-11/25 and I am also wondering about the crowds/weather at this time of year. When does the Thanksgiving crowd begin to show up?

I just got done making my priority seating arrangements for each day in the park during the Jersey/SSS week. I had no problems finding seating for 10 people!!

Me too! I just got Cinderella's Castle for Nov. 6 by calling at 5pm. And Crystal Palace today for Nov. 7! Nobody seems to know about the 90 change!


I think its the best kept secret so far!

We are so glad to hear that it is not really that crowded in November. We are going Nov. 8th thru the 15th also. We went in Oct in 2000 and loved it then. So, I was really hoping it wouldn't be real crowded this time. Thanks for putting up the schdule for Christmas decorating at the resorts. We are trying to decide which one to stay at for Christmas. See you at WDW! We can't hardly wait!

We went the week before Thanksgiving last year. It was very
cold and windy a couple of days and the other days were comfortable. The crowds were low and we could walk on to the rides - no wait time. The crowds picked up at the end of our trip
(the weekend before Thanksgiving). The food court got really busy and there was some wait time on the rides.

Y'all have me scared with all this "jersey week" talk. As you can tell from my use of "y'all" I am not from anywhere near Jersey. We are going Nov. 6 to Nov. 9. I already knew about the super soap thing but we just planned on doing mgm on Thursday and that way we would avoid that. But now I am scared we will be over-run with people! With our accents we'll stand out like sore thumbs.

However, I have only been to Disney once before and that was Halloween week of 2001. It was desolate. The only thing we waited on was Test Track and that was because it kept breaking down. We literally walked onto every ride without stopping. Of course, it probably helped matters that it was less than 2 months after a major terrorist attack on the nation. I am sure that caused many people to cancel their flights and plans. You didn't even need PS for the restaurants. We had them, but we were done early with all the rides and they sat us right away every time....despite being over an hour early for our PS.

However the weather was AWESOME then. Absolutely perfect. I will never go in the summer b/c I wouldn't want it to spoil the picture-perfect memories I have of the pefect weather and light crowds of late October/early November.

Oh, and PERSHING...we will be at CP on the 7th also! We are doing lunch though to save some $$.
