I'll list a few of my favorites:
EE a big 10! wonderful wonderful really really fun
Safari ride 10 very good, always something different to see
bug show 8 good, esp if there are first timers in the audience
Lion King show 8 very good
Dinosaur 8 very good also
Primeval Whirl 6 it's okay, kind of jerky for me
train ride 6 it's okay
Kali river rapids 8 it's good and is great on a hot day, but is too short for me

I'm pretty happy no matter where I am at WDW.

My rankings for the rides from best to worst--

Kilimanjaro Safaris (9-- depend on how many animals you see, but it's usually great)
Dinosaur (8-- wild and jerky, but fun)
Primeval Whirl (7-- OK, but too painful)
Kali River Rapids (7-- not that exciting, just WET)
Triceratops Spin (5-- OK, a kiddie ride)

Haven't ridden Everest yet, but I will in a couple of weeks.

As for shows-

Festival of the Lion King (10-- best live show at WDW IMO)
Jammin' Jungle Parade (9-- second favorite parade after Spectromagic)
Flights of Wonder (8-- most underrated show at WDW)
It's Tough to Be a Bug (7-- probably my least favorite 3d show, but still worth seeing))
Pocahontas (haven't seen it)

Also, the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail and the Maharaja Jungle Trek are both worth doing if you like animal exhibits. If you only have time for one I prefer Maharaja.

We don't bother with Rafiki's Planet Watch. we went there once, and it was a waste of time.

If I had a day at DAK, I would make sure I hopped on Dinosaur, E:E, the safari, Primeval Whirl. I would go thru both animal exhibits at a leisurely pace. And I would do the Lion King and Bird show plus the Bug movie. And eat at the Flame Tree BBQ.
