Planning a 3/4 day visit sometime during the first half of December, November is also an option. Which days would you choose? Hoping for low/decent crowds.

First half of December is your best bet, especially if you have no kids or kids below school age…

I'd agree with hardcorestitch and shoot for early December to avoid all the people/kids on holiday break. We did a December trip last year from the 7th-11th and one this December from the 14th-17th. I'd say the earlier trip was a tad less busy, but both were manageable and not as busy as a late October trip we did a few years ago. Either way I'd recommend getting Lightning Lane as that will make things much better when crowds are moderate.
