by Fritz

My family and I are going to Disney World November 4-12 of 2011 and we keep hearing about November Disney World crowds and Jersey Week. I was wondering what you expect the crowd level to be a this time?

Dad's Amazing and Complete Answer

Fritz,

First, let me tackle the easy one. For crowd levels in November check out ...

Dad's November Disney World crowds page

Now, lets move on to November Disney World crowds and Jersey week.

Jersey Week is the creation of someone with an overactive imagination. Every year the first or second week of November, the New Jersey schools dismiss classes on Thursday and Friday. The story is that every family in New Jersey packs up and goes to Walt Disney World for the whole week and the crowds are uncontrollable.

It's not true. Yes, you will run into a few people from New Jersey but the crowd levels are historically low. (To see the historical daily crowd numbers for November go to Touringplans.com. They have a database with the numbers all the way back to 2006.)

I get this question every year. Here is a link to some feedback I got about November Disney World crowds and Jersey week from last years question.

Dad's Bottom Line

Fritz, there is a little bounce in crowds during Jersey Week at Walt Disney World. Crowds go from light to light to moderate. It's still a wonderful time to visit. You'll have a great time.

PS, It's such a great time to visit that Dad is probably going to go at that time this year.

The real question is whether or not Snookie or any Jersey housewives will be there....

The dreaded "Jersey week"
by: susan

I am sooo glad to hear this!!!! another website predicts a terrible time during "Jersey week", and I was considering paying the extra money to rebook airfare and change my reservation. I will let you know what I found after attending during that week!

Jersey Week Crowds
by: Buzz

Hi Dad. Please tell all of your readers the truth about Jersey Week. This is one of the worst weeks to visit WDW. It is so overly crowded when the Jerseyites take over, that there is no room for anyone else.

Please warn everyone that isn't from New Jersey to stay away from the parks. This way I can continue to enjoy the low crowds and have a wonderful time each year.

Thank you.
Buzz from NJ
