We will be there the same time...11/3 - 11/10...it's what is known as "Jersey week", because the schools are closed that Thurs. & Friday for the teacher's convention...but as others have said, Friday and Saturday will be ABSOLUTELY crazy in the WS...if you're not a heavy drinker, IMHO, I would plan another park for those days, or stay out of the WS. We learned the hard way. You will see TONS of Jets, Giants, Yankees & Mets caps...You will see large groups of people wearing the same T-shirts stumbling around from kiosk to kiosk drinking...but since you're from NYC, you'll have NO problem with the drunk idiots...if you can handle Times Square on NYE, you'll have a GREAT time!!! Temps are great, not too hot, but maybe a day or 2 for the pool. A last word of advice...it cools off at night, but the buses still have the AC CRANKED, so sweatshirts or a light jacket would be advised!
