A week at WDW - Must Do's?

[Fies4]

I need your help. I just booked ASMu Family Suite with DDP for Jan. 27 - Feb 2, 2008 for our family. This is not our first trip, we were there in 2006 (children's first trip) and before that DH and I were there 3 times but not since 1999. So, this year I kind of want to know if we missed any "must see's" or "must do's" on the kids first trip 2 years ago.
Oh, and besides Chef Mickey's - any suggestions on the best places to eat (for a family) as well as the best times. I'm getting ready to plan out our days and I guess I'm wondering if I should plan them differently than I did last time around to get the most out of our vacation.
Thanks in advance - I can't wait to see your responses!!

Not knowing exactly what/how much/when your family likes its WDW "experience", I'd suggest you buy a 2008 Birnbaums' Guide when they hit the shelves. There are so many new attractions, show, dining experiences since your last trip that it would be better for your family to peruse the book and make your selections. There's just TOO MUCH to get into specific suggestions. Get your dining in first as that can determine which park you'll do each day. In 2008 we're going to try the Yak and Yeti in AK; The TRex in DTD, and the Brown Derby in MGM for new dining and I'll read up on the new shows and attractions that we will be adding along with our old favorites. We saw the Nemo show in AK--that was fabulous . The Nemo ride in EPCOT was disappointing. We do our lunch around 1-2pm; and the evening meal 7ish. Breakfast is at the resort around the pool. ASMO here we come June 08

I would venture over to the trip reports board and just browse some of the reports. During planning, I usually try to find reports that include similar ages to our kids. I've gleaned lots of useful info from the reports and I've been to WDW lots of times! I would say that if you were happy with your last trip I would plan similarly to that. I'm a fan of sticking with what works!
