Quick calendar overview of when it will be crowded in November 2016
While the Food and Wine Festival takes place at Epcot for the beginning of November, it doesn't necessarily create an overall surge in crowds at all of Disney World as much as it creates a surge of locals going to Epcot on the weekends. That's why I never recommend Epcot on the weekends during this time.

- November 1-5 - light crowds in early November before Jersey Week begins
- November 6-13 - many schools in New Jersey have a couple of days off of school this week and families often take advantage and spend part or all of this week at Disney World in what's often called "Jersey Week." This time period also sees an influx of crowds for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon.
- November 14-18 - light crowds just before the Thanksgiving crowds arrive
- November 19-22 - Thanksgiving week is busy, but these days leading up to Thanksgiving aren't quite as busy as the last half of the week
- November 23-27 - heavy Thanksgiving crowds
- November 28-30 - crowds drop off significantly once the weekend after Thanksgiving has passed
Here is some quick advice before you start to read the calendar below....
MNSSHP is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, this event cost extra to enjoy, for more information about this event please click here. On the nights that Magic Kingdom has MNSSHP the park in the morning is quite empty as most of those going to the event don't enter the park until later in the evening (around 4ish) and those not going to the event avoid the park due to the short park hours.
MVMCP is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, his event cost extra to enjoy, the hours for this event are 7:00 pm – midnight, Parade at 8:15 pm and 10:30 pm, Fireworks at 9:30 pm, though Guest with MVMCP party ticket can start to enter the park at 4 pm, which makes Magic Kingdom rather crowded the days of MVMCP.
Extra Magic Hour is a service that Walt Disney World offers to their hotel guest, on certain days guest may enjoy extra magic hours in either the morning 1 hour before the park opens to the general public, or in the evening for 3 hours after the park closes to the general public. In the calendar, I noted which park has the extra magic and weather its in the evening or morning.
The number at the bottom of everyday is a crowd prediction calendar based on 10. 1 is empty no lines for most rides, shorter wait for the larger rides, and 10 is every ride will have a line. With that said, which park to visit with the smallest crowd? That brings us to the next line on our calendar
Under the crowd level you will see MK EP HS and AK, these stand for the parks. MK is Magic Kingdom, EP is Epcot, HS is Hollywood Studios, and AK is Animal Kingdom. Each day they are listed in order of which parks we think are the best to visit (parks listed before the /), the parks that will probably have OK crowds are listed between the / /, and finally any park listed after the // will probably be the most crowded of all the parks that day and isn't really recommended.
Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival from August 31 – November 13, 2017
