Pros
Reasons to visit in November
- ✓Food & Wine kiosks are still running through mid-November, so you can graze World Showcase before the switch to Festival of the Holidays.
- ✓Once Festival of the Holidays begins, every World Showcase pavilion adds a Holiday Storyteller performance, from Las Posadas in Mexico to Chinese Lion Dancers in China.
- ✓Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind runs comfortably in the mild fall temperatures, unlike the sweltering summer months in World Discovery.
- ✓Luminous The Symphony of Us caps the night over World Showcase Lagoon with pleasant, jacket-optional viewing weather.
- ✓Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After both use Lightning Lane Multi Pass, giving you two strong France and Norway options even on a packed day.
Cons
Things to watch out for
- ✕Crowd levels run at their peak in November, and World Showcase promenade can bottleneck around festival kiosks and holiday storyteller crowds.
- ✕Thanksgiving week pushes wait times for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Test Track well past an hour for most of the day.
- ✕The overlap week between the two festivals means some kiosks close early while holiday decor and merchandise booths aren't fully set up yet.
- ✕Candlelight Processional Dining Package reservations sell out fast once the Festival of the Holidays begins, leaving standby guests facing a long wait outside the American Gardens Theatre.
- ✕World Nature and World Discovery offer little shade, and midday sun during the mild but still-bright November days can make outdoor queues uncomfortable.
Pro tip
Arrive by rope drop and head straight to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind before 9am, since Thanksgiving week and the festival crossover push this line past 90 minutes by mid-morning. After that, ride Test Track or Soarin' Around the World while waits are still low, then work World Showcase counter-clockwise starting in Mexico so you're ahead of the crowds gathering for holiday storytellers and Candlelight Processional standby, which starts filling the American Gardens Theatre lawn well before 5pm on show nights.
