Your first trip, huh? I have one piece of advice - skip Universal and Sea World. Seriously, those are fun places but they pale in comparison to WDW...IMHO. And, it's your first time - you'll be immersed in the magic for the first time. Don't spoil it by leaving the property. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

Other than that - have a great time - get in the parks early. Take afternoon breaks, have a nice lunch, a swim, and then go back to the parks in the evenings after dinner. Take advantage of fast pass and the extra magic hours (a.m. and p.m.)

Have a magical vacation!

Well, we never leave site. I keep saying we are going to do Sea World, but we can just never bring ourselves to leave the magic once we arrive. At any rate, we will leave home on the 12th around 1:00pm and we are driving to Ocala for the night. We check into the Fort on Monday the 13th. Our tentative itinerary:
Monday, 13th: check in, set up, Chef Mickey's , EMH at MK
14th: sleep in, evening EMH at AK
15th: morning EMH at MK, Boma for dinner, MGM for Fantasmic
16th: Epcot day
17: Open day, stay at the Fort
18th: morning EMH at AK, evening Epcot
19th: back to Epcot, AK, or whatever
20th: MGM for morning, MK evening
21: open for whatever in the morning and MGM in evening
22: morning EMH at MK, dinner 'Ohana, evening MK
23: leave for home

We are AP holders and go often so our itinerary is pretty flexible. We haven't been for any night EMH yet. If they are too crowded, then I'll adjust the schedule and avoid them.

I gotta agree with the others who posted Stay on site. We have yet to see anything other than the Disney parks when we've been in Orlando. And once again, we'll be there the 14th through the 24th, and not venturing off property. I can't wait!
14th Arrive at Contemporary; dinner at 'Ohana's; watch ELP
15th Studios
16th MK
17th Epcot
18th MK
19th Epcot
20th AK
21st DTD/BB
22nd My kids pick where to return
23rd MK
24th Kids pick/return home

Have a great trip!
