Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

I can answer this question. Jersey week is the first week of November. The public schools in NJ are closed Thusday and Friday of that week for a teachers convention. They are also closed this year on Tuesday for Election Day. Some schools districts are closed the entire week, while others are open for the two remaining days. It is called Jersey week, because a lot families from NJ, including my family this year, take a trip to WDW that week (except we are staying over at Universal Studios this time).

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

That is right! Practically the WHOLE state of NJ will be there!
This is my 1st time going so I dont know how the crowds are but I hear they aren't too bad.
But I can guarantee it won't be like Easter week!!
and my daughter's school has the Whole week off. They had off last year too, for the entire week...

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

I just read on All Ears that Jersey week is busy... It also stated that New Jersey is one of the areas that is Disney's biggest draw!!

Wonder why???

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

Is this only for the first week of November? I will be there Nov.13-18 and I am just wondering if this will affect me. Is this for the entire resort?

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

Wooo-Hooo! Just realized that I will be in Jersey at the same time EVERYBODY ELSE has gone to WDW!!! I can drive on deserted highways! I can shop in blissfully calm malls! I can eat at great restaurants without reservations! I can swim in other people's pools and speed down our main drag and wear sweatpants at the grocery store! PARTY ON!!!

sweat pants would be a step up from the normal flannel pajamas pants I see walking around the grocery stores (I'm not making this up folks..I see at least one women in her pajama bottom pants on every visit).

No, Jersey week is always the first week of November. A lot of people go to WDW that week, but I know lot of people that also go to the Bahamas, or the caribbean islands too. It's a good week for us New Jerseyians to get away since the schools are closed.

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

What about President week in February? Is this a Jersey week too or some other state? I've read that the crowds are huge during this week.

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

I know this is OT, but WHAT is it with these teenage girls thinking pajama bottoms are to be worn outside one's bedroom??? Geesh. I walk by them on the streets nearly every day on my way home from work.

I don't see how THAT many people from NJ could be headed to WDW that week to make that much of a difference. That's really weird. As for NJ being a big draw to WDW, it's a very conveint location for travel -- THREE airports - Newark, JFK and LaGuardia. I don't know about Newark, but JFK and LGA have non-stop flights to Orlando and have Jet Blue there so it's a piece of cake getting to Florida. Perhaps NJ is one of the more densly populated states??? There's a lot of spill-over from people who work in Manhattan yet live in NJ who look pretty attractive on the potential WDW-ers list.

Re: Anyone Know What Jersey Week Is ?

Oh, yeah, and when you already live 20minutes from NYC, where ELSE is there to go on vacation to except Florida?? 5th Ave shopping, Broadway shows -- ordinary stuff! :) So that's one major vacation destination NJers wouldn't even consider. Of course, leaving ONLY WDW! ;)
