Your list looks great. Don't forget to breath and try and smell the roses along the way. This is your "plan" so that's great just allow yourself some flexibility in it.

I added my thoughts to Epcot (above in bold) and you might also want to check out Haunted Mansion in MK. Have a great trip!!!!!!!
 
Your itinerary and its order looks much like ours--based on what we have read and found out about ride popularity. We have never been to Epcot or MGM--and only to MK once. I would add Cinderella-bration there if you have little girls. We saw the previous show there and loved it. I think its a good idea to leave alot of flexibiltiy on your MK day--we spent almost an hour watching the street performers as they danced down Main STreet.

If its really crowded at MK, there were a couple of things we did there last time that we would not do again, especially if we were trying to make sure we got on certain rides. The little auto track ride--don't know its name--where the kids can drive. Its hot in the line, smells like diesel fuel, and its not really full of that Disney flavor like some others. Also if you are going with kids but they are over age 5, I'd pass on some of the rides in Fantasyland. They are darling for little ones, but the lines when we were there were crazy long, and they are kind of carnival like--My little ones loved it two years ago, but this time they are "big kids" and want to do "big rides". They have been through our Birnbaum's guide so many times with a highlighter that I'm afraid the pages are going to disintegrate.

Have a wonderful wonderful time!

That looks pretty good Chris. I would NEVER miss the Haunted Mansion! :scared1:

Also, for EPCOT I would suggest going to the US and France pavilions. The movie in France is awesome!
 

What about the new Motor Stunt Show at MGM and seeing Lucky the Dinosaur at AK? Those two are on my "must see" list for May.
 
Thank you all...

I'd add Spaceship Earth and Living with the Land for Epcot.

Oh yes, I forgot Spaceship Earth....

Well, of course we will do much more attractions but I thought about the attractions which we absolutely have to do and which we should do right after park opening.
