I would recommend:
1. get a Disney guidebook or look up a basic Disney website targeted towards first time visitors (like **************.net or wdwprepschool). They will explain the basics around planning a Disney visit in a logical order that will be more clear and less confusing than learning snippets of information. I got the Unofficial Guide to WDW and read it cover to cover in the beginning. After that, I was able to understand all the various tips and info I read in places like this.
2. Keep doing what you're doing and asking questions. The Dis is an awesome spot for that!! This answers all the in-depth detailed stuff.
To answer your latest q, there are several night show dining packages:
- Hoop Dee Doo (most popular dinner show with a country and western themed stage show done in a musical-type format)
- Mickeys Backyard BBQ (better for little kids - it's a country and western dance type thing)
- Spirit of Aloha (Hawaiian themed luau)
and there are also dining packages which gives you FP+ for the major Disney night shows in the parks (that you can watch without the package too). It's pretty worth it if you wanted to eat in those restaurants anyway. We don't do all of them because we want to eat in so many other restaurants too.
- Fantasmic Dining package (choose between 3 restaurants)
- Rivers of Light Dining Package (choose between 2 restaurants)
- Festival of Fantasy dining Package (only at Tony's Town Square for the afternoon Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kingdom)
