mommy rainbo.....Bo 41 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I am trying to think of a time other than Christmas to go to the fort that is good for time off of school. I don't want to do summer. So here in NJ teachers convention is in Nov. We get Thursday, Friday and Monday is Veterans Day. So If I take J out on Wednesday and the following Tuesday it would make for a nice trip. But if the crowds are big maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've honestly never noticed a spike in crowds that week - just a shift in accents. Early November crowds in general tend to be fairly low - that's why we like going then.The one thing that might drive crowds up over the weekend though is the Monday holiday. But should still leave Thursday, early Friday, and Tuesday as pretty nice days. And even if the weekend gets busy, it's not going to be "Christmas week" busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I realize that people from NJ think that the world revolves around them, but Jersey week is no big deal at WDW. In fact, I heard that they've cancelled it this year due to a shortage of whatever language they speak in NJ to English interpreters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 We were there in 2011 during Jersey week. To us it was very busy. The week after it was way better. When is Jersey week this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 When is Jersey week this year?Feb 29 through the 31st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Feb 29 through the 31st.That's the 3 best days of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mommy rainbo.....Bo 41 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Lol. I realize this sounds weird, but captain cranky pants aka hubs doesn't want to be anywhere around other NJ. He would prefer not to be around many people at all. I know the world doesn't revolve around us NJ people.Also we have been at Disney in early December in 2007 and 2012. So I was jus wondering with that as a comparison. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok, a serious response, I know you're shocked.Jersey week does spike in attendance, but it's noticeable because it falls during one of the slower times of the year, after Labor Day and before Thanksgiving. Crowd levels are about the same as on Columbus Day and that's not bad either.Jersey Week has generally been somewhat busier that the first two weeks in Dec, but not by much.

pezheadval 32 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wait...the world doesn't revolve around us? Don't be afraid. It's a great time of year to visit! I'll be there! :)I find the crowds to be lighter in November then December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fugarwe(MN John(Juanito)) 23 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 School is not that important. Schedule the vacation when it works for you, and have the little ones bring homework with. Learning is important, the schedule the school keeps is not. For the most part they are warehousing the average and above average kids while the dumb kids catch up. Don't get me started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fugarwe(MN John(Juanito)) 23 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hit enter too soon. We pulled our three out for two weeks total. Next year we are going to take them out a day earlier so we get more time looking for Lou on a bus. They will miss more if the weather turns bad on the way back to MN next week. All three of our kids are in the gifted and talented program, and the only teacher that throws a fit is the 6th grade phy ed teacher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Don't be afraid.Be afraid, be very afraid, there are crazy people from NJ here. Haven't you been paying attention?It's a great time of year to visit! It's ok, but Dec at WDW is special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 He would prefer not to be around many people at all. If that's the case and you can possibly swing it - shoot for the week before or after. Before would also get you some Food & Wine Festival. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Lol. I realize this sounds weird, but captain cranky pants aka hubs doesn't want to be anywhere around other NJ. He would prefer not to be around many people at all. I think captain cranky pants needs to spend the day on Lou's bus to learn how to be Mr Wonderful instead :rofl2: :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 If he's TRULY cranky, that could be bad. They could combine forces as a kind of Cranky Super Hero and take over the world. (Captain Cranky Pants and his sidekick Grumpmaster Lou)Or the crankiness could somehow combine and grow exponentially and cause a giant cosmic rift in the space/crank continuum....or they might end up walking around a neighborhood yelling at kids to get off other people's lawns.

Auntie 17 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Was there four years ago Jersey week. Mind you, I had never even heard of Jersey week before that. I found out pretty quick what was going on.For me personally, I would not visit during that time period again. Not the best Disney experience we've had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 He would prefer not to be around many people at all. As I mentioned on another thread our husbands seem to be very similar. We went the last week of January 2010 and there was hardly anyone there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
