I'm almost always there the first week or so in December. The past 4 or 5 years, I've had the extra fun of having a photography meetup going on at the same time...but this year, the Pixelmania gathering moved to pre-Halloween so the folks who don't get to see that decoration as often can see it...I'll still be taking my usual pre-Christmas Disney trip around that first week but haven't booked the dates yet.
