Crowds in November?

[bsmartin2000]

Can anyone tell me what to expect for crowds in November. My mother and I will be there November 9th until Nov 15th? I know some where I have seen Crowd levels posted but now that I need them I can't find them!

Thanks!

I am planning on going that same week in 2013 so I am interested in seeing the responses.

You avoided Jersey Weekend where all the NJ schools have off for 2 days for a conference. I picture Snooki and the Situation drunk at the Disney Boardwalk that week.

MK and Epcot will be a little rough that weekend. It's the last weekend of food and wine and MK has evening extra hours both Saturday and Sunday. However, the weekdays that 12th - 15th look low.

I think I looked at the calendar wrong. Jersey weekend is Thurs 11/8 through Sun 11/11. That probably will add to the crowds a little on Fri, Sat and maybe Sun. The rest of the week is golden.

I am going on the 15th. I think you should be ok

I hope great since I will be there too . We have been there before during that week and it is pretty dead! It is so great! I will tell you to watch the weather because we got a cold front and actually needed pants and sweatshirts for the evenings!

This is usually the week we go every year and we have always loved it. Crowds are fairly low, Epcot is just ending the F&W Festival so it can be a little crowded there. The weather has always been wonderful, actually near perfect! Cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon and cool at night.. its very comfortable. It doesn't rain much, but you never know in FL. The lines for the rides are short too so that is a big plus!! Enjoy!!!

Crowds probably won't be too bad during that time.
We have been during Thanksgiving week & it is pretty busy then, but prior to that week, crowds should be moderate.

We went in 2010 and are going the same week this year. It was busy on the saturday, not so bad Sunday, the weekdays were great, but the friday night before Thanksgiving the hordes descended and for the first time that trip, the monorail was PACKED. Saturday morning got so crazy at MK (in our opinion), we left by noon. After being spoiled by the relatively light weekday crowds, it was too much to handle. I figured it was all the Thanksgiving folks showing up a bit early.

When I worked there (in 2006), I remember the crowds being low in early November. Weekends during F&W were always busy, but wait times were low.

I suggest Touring Plans - well worth the $$ IMO - to check out crowd levels at the different parks.

We're going the 10th-17th, and everything I researched showed low crowds after Monday. It's Veteran's Day, and the previous week is Jersey week, so they kind of run into each other. I couldn't figure out why I was having trouble booking a room, and the CM told me it was only because of Saturday & Sunday. She said the rest of the week would probably be very light on crowds.
