I've booked to go to WDW in November and have a few questions. While this will certainly not be my first time, it will be my first time visiting in November as I usually vacation in January.

1) I will be staying at Pop from the 16th to the 26th of November and was wondering what the crowds will be like. I realise I'm cutting it close with Thanksgiving the day after I leave.

2) Whats the weather like at this time of year?

3) I'm hoping to book a couple of the Mickey's Christmas event at the Magic Kingdom, should I pre book these before I leave?

4) Staying in November would it be a wise move to book reservations in advance before leaving?

5) I've got plans to spend a day at Universal Studios and Sea World, but will not be hiring a car. So any tips on the easiest and cheapest way to arrive to both parks from the Resort would be apreciated.

That should do it for now but may have some further questions down the line. I last visited the Resort in 2006 so I'm kind of looking forward to a return trip.

Lets see-

1) should be fairly busy but not summer crowds...

2)weather should be pretty good- its the end of hurricane season so should be pretty dry and decent moderate temps (though weather here is always subject to change without notice..)

3) I would prebook atleast one- They dont ususally sell out that early but I think its cheaper... Personally I would just book one at first- They are fun but I couldnt see doing more than one of them...

4) Im assuming you mean dining- If there is anything you have your heart set on yes- Id prebook but you shouldnt have too much trouble booking day of for everything else...

5) I would look into mears- I believe they run a shuttle to the other parks... Taxis would be very expensive and trying to take Lynx would waste half the day...

Malin,

if you're accustomed to light crowds then the days you're there before Thanksgiving are going to seem very heavy, we always go this time of year, and last year particularly I felt the numbers in the park the week of Thanksgiving, standby for Soarin on the Monday before Thanksgiving was 2hrs +. That being said the week before the crowds were great :)

2. I'm with em on this one, we had great weather, shorts and vest tops for us brits, although I always have a light jacket or hoodie for on a night.

3. As em said, yes it is worth prebooking as they're cheaper that way, although I think you would probably only need to go to it once??

4. Yes if there's anything you definitely want to do, we were a big party (9) but all of the restaurants were busy when we were there.


Anything else specific November wise please feel free to ask :)
All times are Pacific Time (US)
