Just got back from our trip from Thur to Sun. Thur we did MK and the crowds were light we got to the park at 9 am and walked onto every ride with less than 5 min wait. By noon the park became busier and the waits were a little longer around 20 min. Friday 12/1 at Epcot we had a pretty heavy crowd level especially around Soarin. I believe the wait times were around 30-45 min for the main rides. We even had to wait 10 min for SpaceShip earth.
Sat 12/2 AK was less crowded than Epcot, we got there at opening and went staright for the Safari and walked right on. But Sat night at MK was packed over 70 min for Peter Pan. I usually go off season so to see the wait that long was a first for me. But I think the weekends in Dec are pretty busy with all the christmas stuff.
If you are there during the week I think the crowds will be fine, if you are there on a Sat or Sun I suggest getting to the park at opeining time and you should be fine.

Just returned on 12/3 after a 11 night stay. The crowds were HEAVY Thanksgiving weekend but very light throughout the following week until Friday. Then it got really busy. I was told at the AKL that they were sold out for that week upcoming, especially the weekends ... and pretty much most of the weekends through Christmas. The PO FQ was also sold out the entire first week in December. They were anticipating heavy crowds Friday - Sunday and lighter crowds, though, Monday-Thursday. During Thanksgiving weekend Soaring wait was 2 hours and 15 minutes. But, during the following week it was only about 20-30 minutes.
