November time

[Lozzie]

Hi ya, im planning a holiday to Disney California for November next year. I was just wondering if i could get info from people who go there often about that time of year, is it quieter? and is it still warm? (im in the UK lol)
Thanks for any help ^^

Hi Lozzie! November is a great time to go, it is the off season for the park so there are less crowds. Keep in mind that some shows may not be running especially during the week, but it is one if the greatest times to ride rides. As for Weather It is the Fall season so I would suggest a Sweater and maybe a light jacket. We have been having some weired weather this year so I can't say for sure maybe try asking closer to your trip. Also make sure to avoid the Thanksgiving Holiday near the end of November because after the holiday it gets pretty busy. Hope this helps.

It's typically cooler and not as busy since busy season for travel winds down around that time (i work as a travel agent specialist for hawaii), October and November are usually better times to travel since kids are in school (steering clear of halloween and thanksgiving of course). I'd suggest jeans and a tee during the day and a light jacket or sweater to put in the lockers for the evening.

I went in November in 2003 and I'd never been at that time before. The Christmas Holiday stuff as all up and it was AMAZING. I don't remember exactly when they put the holiday stuff up but people here will know. It was definitely prior to Thanksgiving (last Thur through Sun of November). I will always treasure going at that time - it's extra magical:-)

November is a wonderful time to come to Disneyland (just avoid our Thanksgiving week). Usually you can count on great weather (just cool enough to be able to do a lot of walking without being uncomfortable.) Having said that, you should also know that weather in southern California can be somewhat unpredictable, so you should be sure to do the layers thing. Our Indian summers can get quite hot and can strike at any time (I remember many Christmas holidays with temps in the high 90s) so you want to make sure everyone can go down to tee-shirts if they need to (of course, you can always buy Disneyland tee-shirts if you need to.) On the flip side, after Halloween we can usually count on the weather cooling down quite a bit (highs in the 60s) so, as has already been said, you want to make sure you have a jacket just in case. I don't imagine, though, that you will need much more than a light jacket.

You'll have such a great time! Crowds should be light, decorations will be delightful (don't know whether you'll hit fall or Christmas, though). Enjoy!

I know that Thanksgiving week is bad but what about the week after...we are going to go down on Saturday after Thanksgiving but no way are we going to the park...we will however, go on sunday-Thursday...will it be bad during that time?
