I work in the NJ school system, and I’ve never been for “Jersey Week” partly because airfare from Newark is crazy.
Based on the number of people I know and work with who have gone for Jersey Week, I really doubt that the number of NJ visitors that week has much of an impact in the parks. Disney parks can absorb a lot of volume.
That week sounds very good to me. I like that there are only two Cmas parties that week on Thursday, the 8th and Friday, the 9th. The weather that time of year can be really nice and make sure that you pack sweatshirts.
The MK will be fully decorated for Cmas by the 8th for the first party. Holiday decor will be going up throughout that whole week. F&WF will still be happening. What’s not to like?
This was huge to us when picking Jersey Week. I really liked late August because no parties. I was back and forth about Jersey Week because in some prior years (depending on how it fell) they would have 4 parties that week. I figured with the way it fell this year there would be two parties. I'm so glad we went with Jersey Week since MNSSHP are now starting August 17. I would have been highly pissed had I picked late August and had to deal with four parties a week.
We like evenings in MK and the parties put a damper on stopping in for a few hours and the parties make non party nights completely insane.
We know it's going to be crowded. I spoke to DD about this and she said she didn't care. I'm just going in with a good plan and hoping for the best.
