Wow, with all that info I could take up a so much room. Here are a few quick tips for you.

First, the rides. Here are some of our favs:
Magic Kingdom - Pirates of the Caribbean
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Space Mountain
The Haunted Mansion
It's a Small World
Peter Pan's flight
Thunder Mtn. Railroad
Tomorrowland Speedway
Hall of Presidents (not a ride but a good show to take a rest.)
Also don't miss the Spectromagic night time parade and the Wishes night time fireworks show

Epcot - Soarin'
Test Track
Spaceship Earth (may be closed for refurbishment)
Mission Space
the Maelstrom (in Norway)
Living with the Land
Innoventions
Nemo and friends
don't miss Illuminations laser light show and fireworks

Disney Studios -
Aerosmith Rock 'N' Roller Coaster
Tower of Terror
Star Tours
Indiana Jones Stunt show
Extreme Stunt show
if you can eat at either the Sci-Fi drive in or the 50's Prime Time cafe. Both are great places to eat and the atmoshpere is really cool at both.
Don't miss Fantasmic, the night time show at the Studios. Best show in Disney.

Animal Kingdom - Expedition Everest
It's Tough to be a Bug
Kilimanjaro Safari
Maharaja's jungle trek
Dinoland U.S.A

I would also suggest taking a stroll in Downtown Disney. They have some of the best shops there, as well as some world class restaurants. The Rainforest Cafe, House of Blues, Fulton's Crab House, Capt. Jack's, and Ghiradelli chocolate shop are all unbelieveable places to eat (I have reservations for March at Fulton's myself. I love that place!)

If you need more info and have time, I would suggest a few places. First, check out the disboards. There is more info there than you can possibly imagine. Also, pick up a copy of the Birnbaum's guide to WDW. There are a ton of guide books out there, but that is the one that has always worked best for me. I pick one up before every trip.

Hope this helps, have a great trip!!!!

Rides: Space, Big Thunder, and Splash Mountains, Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, PhilharMagic, and Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom. Test Track, Spaceship Earth (newly renovated) Soarin', Turtle Talk w/ Crush (go to the left when you get to The Seas Pavilion and go through the gift shop, unless you want to ride the Clamobiles), and Malestrom in Epcot. Disney Hollywood Studios ("MGM") has Tower of Terror, Rockin' Roller coaster, and Star Tours. Animal Kingdom: EVEREST (!), Kali River rapids, Dinosaur, and the Safari are all good.
Restaurants: Raglin' Road (Downtown Disney) has - wait for it - deep fried sausages, served with a tangy honey mustard. I'm also a fan of breakfast at Wilderness Lodge - they insult you all breakfast long! All of the French fry stalls serve McDonald's fires - and are worth every penny.
Outside the World, try Chevy's - just drive out of the Downtown Disney end of the place.
Secret Places: Believe it or not, there aren't that many. however, you can get prime rib (!) in Epcot's Land Pavilion (about $10, drink and sides included).Another not-so-well-kept secret is the path from Mickey's Toontown Fair to Tommorrowland - the "red brick road" on the guidemap. They also might be "soft opening" Toy Story Mania in Hollywood Studios: ask a Cast Member (employee) nearby.
Another great experience: riding in the nose of the monorail. Just ask the person at the monorail station if you can.
Other Factoids: Disney is in it's own little government enclave, the Reedy Creek Improvement District. That means Disney can have its own fire protection, police (it doesn't), or even a nuclear power plant and an airport! Look for a sign on your way out the Downtown Disney end of the World.
HAVE FUN!

Every day, every ride, every park will be an adventure...you will not be disappointed! Be sure to visit Epcot's world showcase and Animal Adventure! Food is too expensive in the parks, pack a snack lunch and eat later. Lockers are available just inside each entrance.

You've been given a list by several people, but I won't do that to make you read the same things over again. I just want to add that while you're at Magic Kingdom, make sure you ride The Jungle Cruise. It's amazingly funny. Well..the skippers are anyway.

Also, if you are in to character experiences (some are, some aren't), buy an autograph book asap and make sure you keep on the lookout for them walking around near their rides (ex. peter pan and wendy near the peter pan's flight ride). You can also visit the Judge's tent to meet Mickey in. A good time to do this is during a parade, because it's a lot less crowded and the line isn't as long. If it starts to rain, Ariel's Grotto stays open, so pinpoint it on your map and go say hey to the mermaid. :)

Have FUN!

Its better that you go through the reviews about all the Disney theme park. Read what these theme park have to offer you:

Arabian Nights Tickets
Blue Man Group Tickets
Disney Meal Voucher
Go Orlando Cards
Island of Adventure Tickets
Tony N Tina's Wedding
Universal Studios Tickets
Wet N Wild Tickets

megp

The best rides at DISNEY that you must go on are:
1) The Haunted House
2) Pirates of the caribean
3) Thunder Mountain
4) Space Mountain
5) Alien
and of course all the normal ones like its a small world- not a great "ride" but something that you have to do there!
At night if you got to Treasure Island, there are alot of good restaurants, bars and shopping!!!!
Have Fun!!!!

ALSO at the other parks, Do Back to the future, king Kong, etc. Try and do everything so time management is important!

Use the fast pass at the parks--if you have someone with you that doesn't go on the rides they can go and get the fast passes for the next ride while you are waiting in the first ride's line. Water is very expensive at the parks so take as much as you can carry. The fountain water at Disney is awful. Our favorite chain restaurant is Bob Evans. You can buy your disney souveneirs at Walmart on Hwy 192, save a bundle and you don't have to carry them around all day. Have fun.

Since 9/11 I'm pretty sure they discontinued the tunnel tours - I went the next summer and couldn't go on a tunnel tour, and I was a cast member(not at a park). the other people that have responded have hit all the great rides, but don't forget Fantasmic! at the MGM Studios, it's wonderful!! Also, since you are staying on property (Beach Club? LUCKY!!!) any souviners you buy, you can have delivered to your room so that you don't have to carry them around all day. Have tons of Fun!! I'm going in 2 months(Saratoga Springs!!) Can't Wait!

Ok here are the must dos for each park, where to eat, and other little tips:

Magic Kingdom: You need to ride all three mountains (space, splash, and big thunder). Also cheeck out Pirates of the Caribean, Haunted Mansion, Mickey's Philarmonic and Laugh Comedey. Little rides are all great but at your choosing. Also make sure to catch the night parade and WISHES nightime fireworks. Good places to eat here are Liberty Tree Tavern and Peco's Bill.

EPCOT: All of the world showcase is very nice (very pretty at night). You should ride SOARIN', Test Track, Living with the Land, and Mission:Space. Don't miss the fireworks here. They are the best in all of Disney and possibly the world. Great places to eat here are Coarl Reef, Le Cellier, and The Mexican Pavilion. It really depends on what knid of ethnic food you like though.

Animal Kingdom: Great rides are DINOSAUR, Mount Everest, Kilamajaro Safaris (ride early in the morining to see the most aniamls), and Kali River Rapids. Also good shows here are Lion King, and Finding Nemo. Places to eat here are limited but the Tusker House and Rafiki's are good.

Other great places to eat are Whispering Canyon, Cheif Mickey's, The Concourse, and Wofgang Puck's.

Little known places to check out are DisneyQuest and La Nouba. Both great for an evening.

Hope that this helps. Have a great trip.
