we want to go when its least buisy, and the parks are open at least until 8:00 or 10:00 PM avoiding the cast parties, and candle light procession... can you tell me what the best time to go is, and still be able to see the decorations?

what dates do you recomend ? November or December?

If kids aren't an issue, they say the first week of school (September) is the quietest and cheapest week. It is also hurricane season still, but the odds are in your favor. Have fun. Disney gives you the most for your money!
 
Staying in one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels is very convenient, BUT you'll save a lot of money by staying off the property in one of the nearby hotels. You have to weight cost vs convenience.

September and October aren't as crowded as the rest of the year, but they close the Haunted House for part of September to decorate it for Halloween, so if you really want to see the Haunted House check to see if it'll be open when you're planning to go.

The food inside the park is VERY expensive so plan ahead.
 
When we went in late January it was quiet and there were very few lines. They were taking down the Haunted House displays, but I would imagine that in early Jan it's still up.
 
I booked my package. I decided to go the second week of December as October some schools were out, utah had a 4 day out, and lots of activities. November I was going to but decided on December to get to go on its a small world and see the other decorations.
I knows its going to be buisy but I am prepared. I also got the meal plan ( I have used it in the past) tickets to knotts, and were set to go for 1 week ! I am thrilled, my kids are thrilled :)
