Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find park hours, parade/firework times, event schedules, etc. for my November trip? If you click this link right here: November 2018 Disney Park Hours, you can find a convenient page of all the most up-to-date times you'll need to know for your November trip!

What are the crowds like in November? Generally, the sizes of the crowds in each park are varied in November. I recommend Kenny the Pirate for the most accurate crowd guesstimates. If you click this link here: Disney World Crowd Calendars November 2018, scroll down some until you find the internal links to his crowd calendar pages for the appropriate week of your trip.

What will the weather be like during my trip? November is one of the cooler months in Florida. The average daily high is generally around 80°F (~27°C), whereas the average daily low is generally around 50°F (~10°C). You'll want a light jacket for the evenings, as 50° down south feels a lot like 30° up north! November also tends to see less rain than the summer months.

I started planning late and now I can't get the Thanksgiving ADR I wanted! What do I do now? First of all-- this thread right here over on the Disney Restaurants board is the PERFECT resource for you: NOVEMBER 2018! CANCELLED ADR Thread - Guidelines in first post . Don't forget to keep checking the WDW dining reservation tool, as often times, people cancel as plans change further on down the road. Good luck!

Can I be added to the roll call? Sure thing! Keep on reading to see how you can do that...

You'll want a light jacket for the evenings, as 50° down south feels a lot like 30° up north! November also tends to see less rain than the summer months.

I started planning late and now I can't get the Thanksgiving ADR I wanted! What do I do now? First of all-- this thread right here over on the Disney Restaurants board is the PERFECT resource for you: NOVEMBER 2018! CANCELLED ADR Thread - Guidelines in first post . Don't forget to keep checking the WDW dining reservation tool, as often times, people cancel as plans change further on down the road. Good luck!

Can I be added to the roll call? Sure thing! Keep on reading to see how you can do that...

We just booked a last minute trip! We are so excited! Never stayed at POP so any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
My FP day is quickly approaching as well. Should I book our HS stuff first or Animal Kingdom?[/QUOTE

That was my plan I went to HS first to get SDD with no luck. So then I went for my second priority FP the FOP. I'm not too worried because we can always RD and ride first thing. Also I have read the wait for SDD drops in the evening so there is another option. I will continue to try to get the passes before our trip.
Best of luck to you
 


FOP 6:10-7:10pm, group of four on 11/22. I did not look for any other days for AK my tour days are decided on. I tried for SDD for 11/20 and 11/25 group of 4
So FOP was on your +3? and you tried SDD on +1 and +6? Do I have those right? That makes me scared. My HS day will be +2. I hope I have more luck with SDD than you did. But my AK day is +5 so I feel better about FOP, although I'd love a morning FP.
 
My SDD was on our day 1 and FOP was day 2 (we're only doing a 3 day trip), we did not secure either. Going Nov 14-18. Hoping we can get in early for SDD and get on without a crazy wait time. We've done FOP before and from what I can tell, the wait times have calmed down quite a bit than prior visits.
 
Today was my FP day and it went well. No problems with the site and I was working both the phone app and computer. Surprisingly the only one I couldn't get was 7DMT for +2 but did get it for +7. I got both my FOP (+5) and SDD (+6) - not the times I wanted but I am just thrilled to get them at all! Good luck to all of you with FP days the rest of this week.

I am following this bloggers advice. I will do keep as close as possible to his experience. I am confident we will be able to hit SDD right at RD. then possibly again in the evening. I hoe this helps you, best of luck :flower1:

Thank you, that was our plan of attack for SDD. We're only doing a half day at DHS since we have the MVMCP that night so it's early AM or bust. No other chance on that. I just watched a tim tracker that showed him leaving EMM while the crowds came into TSL and it shot up pretty fast to 60 min wait. I figure if we're there by 8am for a 9am PO day we'll be ok and front of the pack. Fingers crossed
 
Hi, I just found this section of the boards and we are going Thanksgiving week and staying at Pop!
My FP day is tomorrow! I'm a nervous wreck because of all the glitches I've read about and because if history repeats its self something always goes wrong on my FP or ADR day. LOL

I was wondering about park hours does anyone have any opinions on them extending AK hours that week? Last Thanksgiving it was open till 10 but also last Oct it was open till 9pm. And from what I'm seeing this Oct it looks like 8pm closing. So that worries me that they aren't going to extend them for Thanksgiving this year.
We are wanting to do AK after dinner once maybe even twice and am hoping there is enough time to fit it in.

I was excited to find this November group and will finally be able to relax a bit after I get through my FP tomorrow morning.

Where are you having Thanksgiving dinner? Good luck with FPs tomorrow!

Well my group wasn't interested in a traditional meal so I have us booked at Coral Reef.
I kind of wish I would have booked Cape May (eating there a few days later) because we could have had an option of the Thanksgiving meal on the buffet. But I think I'm the only one who cares about it. LOL

We love Boma on Thanksgiving. Coral Reef is a favorite of ours. We are having lunch there on the 18th.

I like to watch Tim Tracker on youtube :thumbsup2
 
FP day was clear sailing this morning! Not a single glitch! I was signed in at 6:58 on my desktop, iPad, and phone and then refreshed at 7. ( it was actually 7:01) I was just so happy to not see Olaf or any error messages! As I made the FPs on the computer, I was looking at my iPad and phone to see if they were appearing in my plans. I got all the times I wanted within 15 minutes. Now, it was easier for me than most because I was not trying to get FoP or SDD. Soarin' was the first one I did and that was for my first full day, 11/21. Tons of availability. I guess that's gotten much easier to get. When I was done, I did check for SDD on my HS day, Thanksgiving 11/22, (so I could report here), and there was nothing available. It's hard on a 4 day trip to get those high demand FPs. Luckily, my DD and I decided to save those for when we go back in a few years with our spouses.
Good luck everyone! By the way, my compulsive checking of My Tickets and Reservations in MDE really helped. If they had not re-appeared a few days ago, I would have called IT.
 
FP day for us. Got everything we wanted, at the times we wanted. Since MDE has been acting funny, I thought I would try the computer to make my fast passes. Of course, that gave me a problem! Back to MDE and no issues. Two groups of friends we are traveling with also had no issues. Good luck and happy planning everyone!
