The place is huge. Buy a tourist book (from your local bookstore)and plan your trip before you go or you will miss out on key things that you wanted to do.

When you going?
If it's by the end of this year, do yourself a favor and get tickets to "Mickey's Very, Merry Christmas". It's at the Magic Kingdom from 6PM until midnight on certain nights. Get on it now. Many nights are sold out already. It's a lot of fun and maybe the best fireworks show I've ever seen.
Make reservations at restaurants ahead of time. Character breakfasts are entertaining if you're taking small children. Call 407 WDW-DINE.
Arrive early at the parks and try to get on the rides ASAP. It gets worse as the day goes on. Use FastPass when it gets busy.
At MGM, be sure to see the "Lights, Motors, Action!" Really cool show. My 6 and 9 year old loved it. Finish the night by seeing 'Fantasmic". Get there early(like 45 mins. min.) Great lasers, lights
and fireworks!
Epcot has some pretty good restaurants. Take the kids on "Test Track".
I could ramble on.
Feel free to ask me anything. I know that place like the back of my hand.
Have fun.

doochuk,
been there three times in the last three years - took my now 6 year old when she was 4 and 5 and was just there for a long weekend with my GF last weekend. - i'll gladly write a book on it later tonight or early tomorrow morning, but a few questions for you first- are you taking kids i assume? what ages? and are you staying in a disney resort? how many days will you be there? are you planning to go to something other than disney; i.e. universal studio's/seaworld, etc.?

doochuck, seen lots of good info on madjacks in past. might want to do a search. good luck & have fun.
thanks fellas for your tips and input----not going until first of June so it is a ways off-Was just curious of what i have to look forward to.Taking 12 and 10 year old and staying at a friends time share at a resort about 10- 15 minutes from the park.Going to be there 7 days and nights.Thanks again guy's for taking the time to share your information...
just came back from a week there. try to get an early start each day and be sure and get fast pass. we did all 4 theme parks plus the 2 water parks. since you are staying off site i guess you won't get the meal ticket which we did. be prepared for high food prices but you will have a great time. try to schedule your day so you can hit the parks that open early and stay open late.
Sent this list to my sister in RI. Had to dig through my drafts. She thought all the sights were very informative.
This will keep you busy. The place is a blast!!
