Walt Disney World in Early November

[coastermaniac]

I've heard that WDW doesn't get too busy in early November. I know it can get fairly busy around Thanksgiving but not earlier. Does anyone know from experience whether or not early November is a good time to go to WDW? I wanted to go to WDW back in January but it didn't happen. I want to try to plan another trip but I want to go when it's not busy. Any help would be much appreciated.

Early November is typically a good time to go. Crowds are not too bad. It's my preferred time to go.

The week before the week of Thanksgiving is a good time to go. This year it would be the week of Nov. 10th. The best time to go though would be after Thanksgiving weekend from Nov. 26th through the first two weeks of December. Also, the last couple of weeks of October is pretty good too with crowds.

 

Minus the week of Thanksgiving, the middle of October through to the middle of December is my favorite time of the year to visit the parks.

I went during the first week of December last year and, with the exception of Soarin', never waited more than 30 minutes for any ride. Space Mountain, Midway Mania, and Test Track were consistently in the 60-minute range for standby, but we always grabbed fastpasses for those attractions.

 

I would definitely recommend early December.

So besides Thanksgiving week, anytime in November through the first two weeks of December is a good time to go?

My preferred time to go is about a week or so after Thanksgiving. Right after they set up for Christmas. I love how the parks look at Christmas time. One thing you may want to look out for if you go the first week of December is it's when they film the Christmas Day Parade, which is known to draw some crowds.
