During these dates, there’s a pretty good chance that you will have lower than normal wait times for most rides, better Disney hotel rates, and even a lot more available restaurant reservations.
But one thing about these times of the year is that there’s a pretty good chance all four parks and both water parks will have reduced operating hours, or worse some of your favorite rides will be closed for refurbishment.
But as long as you plan accordingly and keep an eye on that refurbishment schedule, you’ll be fine.
Lastly, some of these dates such as November 6-7 coincide with some of the more affordable times of the year at the parks.
So I recommend that you cross reference the dates listed above to my affordable weeks list to have an empty and affordable vacation!
