Lord, but people can't seem to answer what is asked.

You'll want to hit all roller coasters, Space, Splash & Thunder (assuming all are open). Pirates of the Carribean, maybe Hall of Presidents, Haunted House, the Jungle Cruise. I think It's a Small World is a classic although it is kinda cheesy. Don't dismiss the "kiddie rides", I love the new Pooh ride and Peter Pan is always fun! There is a neat Buzz Lightyear ride that I don't remember the name of, and the Alien Encounter is good for a bit of a scare.

If you want a sit down lunch, besure to make reservations somewhere or the wait will be bad (even when the park isn't crowded it is hard to get into the sit down restaurants).

Be sure to stay for the fireworks and maybe watch the parade! Hope you have a great time!

You'll still enjoy it, as a 25 year old just went to WDW for the first time in 5 years and still loved it. Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Alien Encounter & Pirates of the Carribean are a MUST. Of course also enjoyed Space Mountain, Thunder Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Race Cars for a laugh, and well jsut about anything else we could get on. We went Dec 26th, and the crowds were much better than we were warned about. Make sure to utilize the fast pass for the favorites like Space Mountain. You'll have a great time.

Maybe some people just want to warn Chris to the fact that he may not have a "magical" time if he is fighting off crowds. Maybe he'd like to know that he has a very good chance of feeling that he blew $ 200.

A friend came back from WDW last week. He loves Disney and has been 10 times. It was VERY crowded. His comment was "Never again during busy season and save the $ 200 for admission, it was a nightmare." If Chris has a choice, he should visit at a less busy time, that's all.

Now if he chooses to go anyway, at least he knows what to expect. Believe me, I would like to be warned if I were headed somewhere at a bad time!

Chris,
During the day at Magic Kingdom:
Definitely a mix: Space Mt, Pirates of the Carribbean, Hall of Pres. and Haunted Mansion

Choose: Country Bear Jamboree or Tiki Bird show (either is silly fun),

Also some of the following: Snow White, Mr. Toad's, Peter Pan, Small World (All crowded but true Disney!)

Must go: to Epcot World Showcase and have a few drinks around each country as you take in the sites

Spend a half day at MGM or Animal Kingdon

A night of fun: Go to Jellyrolls at the Boardwalk Inn (dueling piano sing-a-long)and sing your hearts out!

Enjoy!

Don't go to the Magic Kingdom! The lines are ridiculous....take your wives to Cirque Du Soleil...it is a fantastic show! Truly memorable!
