ftwildernessguy 778 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 That sort of sums up my experience the one time I made the mistake of going during Jersey Week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 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.We totally agree. We have pulled ours out well over the "allowed" days missed to go to Disney.I make sure I am close with the prinicpal, nurse and their teachers and let the all know that I find life experience an important part of a child's education (I believe these words came right out of the student handbook) but that I don't want them to fall behind at school. So we get homework done ahead or bring it with and I let all involved that I have consulted the academic calendar before deciding when to take them out so they don't miss any major testing or test prep.It has worked wonderfully for us for 5 years.Not everyone, almost everyone.We have gone to Disney during peak and off peak times and have seen the park crazy busy and wide open.The thing about Jersey week is that the park is full of the same demographic.MY DEMOGRAPHIC-Families with school age children.The waits are longer for what I want to do with my kids because everyone else at Disney is wanting to do what I want to do.I should also mention that I am a midwesterner and my first Jersey week was a bit of culture shock for me. Every queue I waited in, every bus I rode (who am I kidding I didn't ride the bus!!!), on the monorail, in the restaurant lobbies, etc I felt like I was in New Jersey. Once I got used to the Jersey accents and "way of doing things" it was time to go home.So my recommendation if you want to take advantage of your kids days of school, split your time between a few days during Jersey week then stay longer-you know when everyone else goes home so you can have the park to yourselves again.

Lou... 3,118 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 every bus I rode (who am I kidding I didn't ride the bus!)Finally, someone is taking my advice.Once I got used to the Jersey accentsIs that even possible?So my recommendation if you want to take advantage of your kids days of school, split your time between a few days during Jersey week then stay longer-you know when everyone else goes home so you can have the park to yourselves again.Sounds like a reasonable approach.

BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 "Hey Mahhhhsha! Ovah here! Come on ovah! EXCUUUUUSE ME! WILL YOU PLEASE MOVE YOUR ASS SO MY FRIEND MAHHHHSHA AND HER KIDS CAN GET IN LINE IN FRONT OF YOU? MY GAWD! YOU PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE!"Perfect example of accent and "way of doing things!" My kids learned all kinds of new phrases during Jersey week, which they quickly unlearned on the way home! I am not saying that they don't hear such things during other trips, I am just saying during Jersey week it's the same few phrases said quite loudly by many different people all day long.

dsnylvr 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Now why do you have to go there. They are a poor representation of our state, and they are not even from here. This show was filmed in my area and does not represent any of us from the Jersey Shore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kahuna aka John 71 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I no longer pick on people from New Jersey. I just send all of our Philadelphia residents to "the shore". I figure it all evens out in the end... :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

98mickey 5 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 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. Lou.. watch what you say about Jersey people,, we pay your salary for that week..... just yours.. no one else.......... BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
98mickey 5 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 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. We have been going jersey week for probably 6-7 years now,, and we have noticed the crowds have been getting larger.. must be more people living in new jersey now..
