Definately get the Unofficial Guide to WDW, and Birnbaum's book and many people love the Passporter (which also has a website). The time will fly - there is so much to do before hand. It is great having the boards to come to with questions, because no matter what you need to know - soembody will have the answer. Enjoy! I am planning our first trip to WDW in 6 long years (DH is not a Disney nut) - I am having a great time doing it. The one thing I would say is don't drive yourself crazy about little things to where you AREN'T having fun. No matter what, your trip will be great. There is no way to do everything in one trip - so don't even try. The great thing is there is always something new to look forward to with every trip.
