Can anyone tell me what crowds will be like in November? I have always gone in September because of low crowds so I am nervous about how bad crowds will be in November. How about the weather around then also? Reservations are for the 9th until the 14th! Thats for the info!:sohappy:

Crowd levels will be 2-3 for your 1st week until the following Saturday/Sunday when it starts to pick up for Thanksgiving Week....Weather's always great at about 78 to 85. Nighttime may take a sweatshirt with shorts.

The crowds will be higher than September, but the excellent weather makes it very manageable. Jersey Week and Veterans Day weekend are around that time, so that drives the crowds up.

We were there Nov. 5-12 last year (and going Nov. 6-13 this year). Crowds were fine. We arrived on a Saturday and it was a little crazy in MK that day, but the rest of the week was wonderful.

It was COLD when we were there, but I think it was unusual for that time of year. I'm hoping for warmer temps this year.

We're planning on going the 11th-18th of November, and I've been worried about crowds too. I got a lot of positive feedback about small crowds that week though, so I think it's a good time to go. Jersey week is the week before, and Veteran's Day is a 3 day weekend. Thanksgiving is the 22nd, so you should beat them by a little while.

The week you are going is the same week we go every year. Its my favorite time of year to go. This year I did it a little different and went for the end of September for free dining. I will say, crowds are low that week and it will get crazy packed the following week for Thanksgiving.. you will notice maybe your last day that the parks are getting more crowded than they were the rest of the week.. we notice it every time.

The weather has always been just right.. all the years we've gone that time of year, we never see a raindrop and barely clouds! We have been SPOILED! Its in the high 70's during the day.. so I always wear short sleeves and capri pants during the day and then I'll put a wdw hoodie for the night time and if its even cooler than normal, longer jeans. The mornings are a bit chilly but it warms up as it gets later in the morning. You will love that time of year! :wave:

I went about the same time in 2010, had a great time with the weather and crowds that we've decided to do the same again this year. Hopefully a few discounts come out to help us enjoy that much more.

We are going 1st November for 3 weeks so I think we will find the crowds build up over the weekends as we have found before. generally always gone just after Thanksgiving into the start of December but have found free dining up to 19th November, no brainer there then!

I have noticed that there are several weekends or special days during that time especially veterans day, as we are in the UK can you tell me when this falls so we are aware.

This will be our 14th visit and our 25th Anniversary and wouldn't want to celebrate anywhere else!

It's a fantastic time to go. We've been every month of the year in the past twenty years and settled on the first two weeks of November as being the best time to go about ten years ago. It's after the summer madness and hurricane season and before Thanksgiving and the Christmas run-in. As someone else said, the weather is a very pleasant 75-85 degrees and the crowds are just right-enough people for a great atmosphere but short wait times even for the most popular attractions. Another major bonus is that a lot of new rides debut in the fall so we've often arrived there just as great new attractions are opening. This year it's the Fantasyland expansion of course, scheduled for October I believe.

Went November 10-15 last year. That Friday and Saturday the parks were PACKED because of Veterans Weekend and the last weekend of the Food and Wine Festival. Friday Epcot was a madhouse and that night the Christmas party was sold out and it was FREEZING!!! However - once Sunday hit the crowds thinned out and it warmed up. Epcot was a ghost town Sunday and Monday we did almost everything in MK before we had to leave at 1:30. Hopefully you get low crowds!

Veterans Day is always November 11th, though if it falls on a weekend (as it does this year), it's observed the Friday before (if it's Saturday) or Monday after (if it's Monday).

Pretty much all US schools have it off, though it may affect crowds a bit more when it makes for a 3-day weekend rather than a random day mid-week.

Hi. To add on to this question, our current plans have us visiting several parks during the Extra Magic Hours, which, with young children, we will not really be taking advantage of. I know that the EMH will swell park attendance in those particular parks. Will the crowds in those parks still be more manageable than they are in say June or October? Our dates are Nov 9th-15th, which yes, is Veteran's Day weekend. Thanks!
