Carl: From Halloween to Christmas in one week. It’s amazing. The first week of
November brings the amazing transformation of Walt Disney World from “scary”
to holiday cheer. You can see it change right before your eyes. But, that’s not
the week I would pick. I would choose the week after Thanksgiving. No crowds,
all the decorations will be up, nice weather and the Candlelight Processional. It
doesn’t get much better.
Dave: I agree with Carl that the best week of the year is the week after
Thanksgiving. In 2015, that week begins November 29, so I count it as a
December week. Among other November weeks, I really like the week of
November 8. Much of the Christmas program is open or opens this week, and
you avoid the Jersey Week crowds of the earlier week.

6th is Pop Warner Week in 2015—not as big a deal as many make it out to be,
