I think the dec week will be less busy because the nov one is right before Thanksgiving week. We went the nov week last year and it was more crowded than I expected... next year we'll be doing the dec week. But both weeks tend to have low crowds from past records.

Dumbo groupies mommy!!

I Think December will be slower then the week in November because of Thanksgiving being so close to the Nov dates. Also New Jersey gives teachers conference during Nov so a lot of families from NJ go to WDW in Nov.

Either Time will be managable in comparision to July and Xmas Week and fun both times!

Nov. week is in the regular season vs. Dec. is value season. But Dec. 4-11 is the week of Pop Warner kids (football & cheerleaders) championships so the value & mods will have alot of teams staying there. There are many threads on this subject if you want to do a search.

The nice thing about Nov. is the F&W Fest. is going on; Dec. has the Christmas decorations, shows, lights and MVMCP.

Hope this helps some!!!!

I voted for the 4th thru the 11th but I think you should go in Niv....LOL...That will be one less person a I have to worry about while I ama there....LOL....We have been the 2nd week in Dec for 4 years now and do not plan to change...Yes POP is there but they have never been a problem and we always stay at the all stars...Just avoid MGM on Friday of that week and crowds will not be an issue except for Spectro days at MK....That was crowded....Generally waits are 5-15 minutes but usually its shorter than posted time....Test Track is always lined up 25-35 for that...Hit it 1st or fastpass it....See ya there

November might be more crowded with Thanksgiving....

Oops.. I accidentally voted for November, but I meant December. I think with Veteran's Day and Super Soaps, you might have a little higher crowds in November.

I think either week would be fine, though.

either week is fine.... i dident see a difference when i was working( @ MK). Thanksgiving gets busier but not as bad as christmas.

You can find some useful information regarding crowds from this site. I found it while I was researching. Hope it helps.

Thanks folks.
We went last year the week before Thanksgiving.(left for home the Monday before Thanksgiving)
We found that Monday-Thursday was great. Pretty much walking on rides or very little wait.
Then Friday ,Saturday and Sunday the crowds started to pick up.
We are looking at going either this same week in Nov or the Dec 4th week this year. ( we are also going the last week in April so i'm sure either one will be less crowds than April )
We were thinking that Nov might be better since people may be waiting now to go early Dec since Nov is no longer value season.
We keep going back and forth on which week we want to go. We have no kids and our schedule is very flexible we just like the lower crowds and mild weather.

Probably the first week in December but beware as we were there that week in 2004 and they had Main Street tied up doing footage for the Christmas Day Parade. It was very sad not to have Main Street the way we love it.

Have done both weeks and the first week of December seemed to be less crowded. Also, all the Christmas decorations are up.
The week before Thanksgiving they are starting to decorate but not everything is up.

think November will be more crowded but if it is one of your choices the Food & Wine Festival is worth any wait.

we loved it last time we went & felt the lines were quite short

the December week had the smallest crowds. The first part of the November week was not that bad but as the week went on, the crowds became larger and larger. Both are good but I would go with the Decmember week. Any, you get the Christmas decorations too!

Actually we would probably be getting there as the wine and food festival was ending. Last year when we went we got there on Monday after the festival and after soap weekend. The first few days seemd very quiet to us. We were almost walking on rides. Of course by friday the parks were getting pretty busy.
I just keep wondering if the first week on Dec will be more crowded than usual since people may wait until then since no more value season the week before Thanksgiving week.
