i just copy and pasted this post from another thread i posted on. this was for a person who has never been to disney but it has some good info!
ok here's the 411:
Hotel- Stay at POP century. it's not to exspensive and they have a food court with great food and it's convienent. plus sometimes u can catch a great deal on the room costs. the rooms are nice and there is a 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's sections. and everything's themed for whatever year section your in. there is a pool in the 60's and 80's section as far as i know. there is a great gift shop too and anarcade. my family and i have stayed there i think about 3 times and we love it! oh! and if you buy a mug in the food court for $12 you get unlimited soda, coffee, slushies, hot coccoa and more. we bought them the first time we went and we've been using them since. they save money! the staff there is really friendly to! i'll try to get some pics.
Parks- Try to go to each park: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios. you will really want to try to get to epcot cuz it has something called the world showcase which is like little mini countrys like England,Marracco,France, Japan, and alot more. There is also Future World.
At Magic Kingdom some of the rides your kids may think are babyish but they are not they're pretty fun plus everyone still has some little kid in them. Animal Kingdom is fun too. it's kinda based on all the animal disney movies. they have a somewhat new ride called expadition everist, now that is a FUN ride. Go to animal kingdom if you can. At MGM Studios It's all about the disney movies and how they were made. they have many movie themed rides. They also have awesome attracksions called Tower of terror and rockin' rollercoaster! So really try to go to each park they are all really awesome! There is also downtown disney. There is MANY shops and some really nice restraunts. And there is pleasure island were there are quite a few clubs. This is a great place to go at night!
Transportation- If you don't get a rental car there are disney shuttles that will take you to the parks and back. you can get more info on this at the front desk.
Water Parks- There are two water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. I haven't been to either one yet but we're going to Blizzard Beach on our next trip which will be at theend of the month. They both look like loads of fun!
Parades and Night Time Shows- Each park has parades and nightime shows. At Epcot there is a great one at 9:00pm called Illuminations, it's my fav!!!!!!!!. At MGM Studios has Fantasmic which is awesome!!!!!!
