Jersey Week People - Check in here!

[Kcat1971]

We're from Michigan but we are catching the tail end of Jersey Week.

Our trip is Nov. 5-16. We won't do the parks on our travel days. We are still debating whether to join all you jersey folk in the parks that first weekend.

I'm not checking in...boo hoo! I just wanted to say that we went for Jersey week last year and it was AWESOME! Great weather, low-ish crowds and we got to enjoy F&W for the first time. I'm jealous! Hope you all have the BEST time!

We're not doing the free dining, we're using the military discount and paying for dining.

Our ADR's are:

11/2 - Planet Hollywood 6:15pm
11/3 - Hollywood & Vine 8:15am
11/4 - Crystal Palace 5:35pm
11/5 - Whispering Canyon Cafe 9:30am
11/6 - Cape May Cafe - 8:55am

Our last day we are staying on a comp'd reservation, so even though we'll be there 6 nights we're only on the DDP for 5.

I had a PH res at 630 that same night, but changed it to 1900

Mrlton, NJ is comming with a crew of seven. Staying from 11/3-11-9 in Old Key West.

I already checked in on Page 2 - here are our ADR's:

Nov 2 - 3:25 Sci Fi
Nov 3 - 7:45 Whispering Canyon
Nov 4 - 6:40 Biergarten
Nov 5 - 8:15 breakfast at Hollywood and Vine

Nov 6-8th we'll be at the Nick Hotel (not really by choice but we won a free stay and airfare from Parents Mag). I was delighted when I found out that neither Airtran nor Nick Hotel blacked out of those dates for award travel - fingers crossed that means crowds will be low.
At any rate, we bought hoppers for our entire length of stay, so not sure if we will hit parks after we leave CSR - Friday to Sunday. We might be beat and just hang at the hotel, or else just drop in for fireworks or repeats of favorites. Whatever my DS wants - we are going without his 18 month old little brother, so he is thrilled to not be constrained by nap times and tantrums (although our game plan is ropedrop, parks until after lunch, then hotel for rest or swimming, then back to parks.)

I believe I saw on Touring Plans so it must be a big deal, but what special incentive is offered to get people from New Jersey to come down (other than the obvious).

 

[RobinHoodGirl]

Alas... no Jersey Week for me but my first two trips to WDW were Jersey Week trips! Brings back great memories especially when we randomly ran into a teacher from my mom's school in line!

Have a great time all!!

 

[mattmommy]

My ds9 has off election day and the Thursday and Friday for teachers convention so he'll only miss two days of school (which I still feel guilty about). We'll be asking for work for him to do or have him make it up when he gets back--whichever works out best for his teacher.

[picktails]

There are no special incentives to residents of NJ that I'm aware of - just a mini school break to take advantage of!
Here are my ADRs:
Sun. Nov. 1 - arrival day, no res, prob. CS in Morocco with wine from France
Mon. Nov. 2 - Chefs de France
Tue. Nov. 3 - Narcoosees
Wed. Nov. 4 - Boma
Thu. Nov. 5 - The Wave
Fri. Nov. 6 - Wolfgang Puck Cafe
Other than Boma, which we HAVE to go to each trip, the rest are new for us. We really try to mix it up, try new things!

We were booked for Jersey week but we soon found out that the airfare out of Atlantic City was $1,000.00 more for four people than in October. So we leave in 5 days.

Never heard of Jersey week before. NY will be there Nov 1 through 8 (MNSSHP on the 1st) staying at BC. At least our accents should fit in.
