Park attendance in November??

[fly_fish]

How has the attendance levels been so far in November for the WDW parks?? I'm a little worried that I might be in combat mode in fighting crowds after reading some recent posts about long lines at some attractions during November. With the exception of Thanksgiving November is generally a slow month.

when we went last year, we were there until the 11th nov, it wasnt to bad at all, we've never had to contend with monster crowds at all :fingers: :)

Just got back on Friday after a week there. November is typically one of the quietest months. But we didn't realise Friday 11th was Veteran's Day, and from what I can gather, a public holiday.
Pop Century was full that weekend.
We went to Epcot on the Friday and it was very busy. But it's so big crowds and rides were manageable. We used Fastpass for anything with long lines and got on everything we wanted to.
AK on Saturday 12th was mad :wacko: The busiest I've seen it, but it was an early entry morning :afraid:
There was even a huge queue for Safari Fastpasses in the morning :eek:
By about 3pm or maybe even before that, FPs for Primeval Whirl had all gone.
But saying that, we got on everything we wanted, if there was a line we used FP. It was just crowded going round the pathways, and things like Pangani Forest Trail.
SeaWorld on the Sunday was fine, big rides were only 5 minute waits.
Everything quietened down on the Monday onwards.
MK on Wednesday we arrived before 10am and had done almost half the park by lunchtime :bounce: Most things were a walk on. I think the longest we waited was about 10 minutes. It was EMH night, and we left about 10pm. Had been on everything at least once, apart from Pooh, Indy Speedway & Barnstormer which we hadn't wanted to ride. We even went on Dumbo :lol:
It was also Super Soap Weekend at MGM and I heard that was packed and the park closed at 2pm :eek:

I think November is one of the quietest months to go so long as you avoid the holiday weekends and avoid the EMH morning parks :thumbs:

Weather was great! :sun:

We were there from 7th - 21st Nov the first week was quite busy as it was Jersey Week and also Veterans day which we were going to TL but changed this to a shopping day, as the waitress mentioned that it was a holiday not to mention that i had forgot about this.

2nd week was quite quiet and most of the rides were walk on as the day went on it was about a 15-20 min wait with the exception of Soarin which you need to get a FP early otherwise they all run out.

DON'T go during Thanksgiving week if you can avoid it!
