Epcot is my personal favorite. No matter how many times I go I am still fascinated. The World Showcase is unbelievable. If you even have a remote interest in other cultures you will love it. It is definitely a must! Also, you have to ride Soarin. The wait is usually pretty lengthy, that's where your Fastpass comes in handy!
Magic Kingdom comes in at a close second for me. It's quite "magical", like a fairytale. Don't forget to ride Pirates of the Caribbean and look for Johnny Depp a few times throughout the ride.
Animal Kingdom is pretty neat as well. If you visit Animal Kingdom you have to go on Kilimanjaro Safari's. They did a great job of making you feel like you are really in the African wilderness. A must if you are an animal person.
MGM, in my opinion is only worth going to during the evening hours.
Check the Walt Disney World website to see what days the parks have Magic Hours, extended park hours during the morning or evening.
Regardless of where you spend your time, you're going to have a blast!
Have Fun!

EPCOT
Heres a guide on traveling Walt Disney World.
IT WILL HELP
1). Better transportation- Especially if you are travelling with younger kids or older adults that need to rest in the middle of the day. Many offsite hotels, if they offer a shuttle (if they don't that is an additional cost you will have to pay) only run in the morning and in evening. You usually need to schedule the shuttle, etc. It can also be a long ride and take away a good portion of your time at the park. Onsite transportation is fast and easy, and it runs all day. Depending on where you would stay you have different transportation options, all resorts offer buses, some of them offer boat transportation and three offer a monorail for transportation.
2). You can take advantage of the Disney dining plan. This plan can save you 40% off of your food and you get to eat at the nicer restaurants that you may not eat at otherwise. It is a great deal.
3). I'm not sure when you are going, but Disney offers promotions for just about every date of the year. Unless you are going in the next few weeks, you should still be able to get a promotion for your dates. Currently they are offering free ticket upgrades, but they often offer free dining, especially during value season. So if you add up the saving there, you will more than likely be spending less, or possibly a little more than an offsite hotel, but you get all of the extra benefits and probably a lot more included.
4) The Disney touch- When you stay at Disney you know you are going to be staying at a nice place. I've gone past some of hotels that offer lower rates, and in some cases the same rates as Disney's hotels, and I think I would be afraid to go inside. Most of them aren't very clean, they can be a few miles away, etc. Also, you get the Disney service. If there is a problem, Disney will go above and beyond to try and fix the problem and do everything they can to make up for it. Even in cases where it isn't even their problem, they try their best to compensate in some way.
5). You can charge purchases to a room card so you don't have to bring your credit cards and cash with you everywhere you go.
6). Parking is free at your resort and you will also get free parking for the theme parks and some of the other places on property.
7). You packages can be delivered to your room. I know this doesn't sound like much now. But when you are in the parks, it is hot, you've been there all day, your tired and you have a ton of purchases to carry around, put on the bus, take back to the room (especially if you have kids that have purchases and/or diaper bags, strollers, etc.) it is nice to be able to make your purchase and then let Disney deliver it to your room.
8). Disney also offers Magical Express. Now, this isn't the best service and it does have some room for improvement, but it is also free. So that is another $100 or so dollars that you can save just for your transfer to and from the airport.
These are just a few of the benefits. I think that if you actually figure out your costs, everything that is included, etc. you will probably find that an offsite hotel actually ends up being more and you don't get all of the benefits. Most people think they are saving a ton of money by staying offsite, but they don't figure in the costs for everything else, or consider other benefits. After everything is said and done, I can almost guarentee you can save money by staying onsite, and you know you have a good room and things like that.
Unless I am in Orlando for business, or have to attend a convention, meeting, etc. I always stay onsite, I even stay onsite when I am just there for business because I like the Disney hotels that much.
If you need any ideas or need some more help, please e-mail me. I go to Disney several times a year and I love to help.

If you have never been, and can only go to one, then the Magic Kingdom is the true essence of Disney fun and magic. If you get a park hopper pass, you could do the magic kingdom for half the day, then skip to a different park for the last half. I enjoy all the Disney World parks but Magic Kingdom and MGM are my favorites.

If you have a choice, skip Disney and do Universal Studios. It's MUCH better. There are more rides and attractions that appeal to adults.
If you have to do Disney I rank 'em this way:
1. Epcot. (Who new educational themed parks could be so much fun.
2. The magic Kingdom (you can't go wrong with the classics...but if you remember it from being a kid, you might be dissapointed. But...if YOU have kids, it's a must)
3. Typhoon Lagoon (Great water park, we had a great time with the tide pools and slides)
4. MGM studios. (Booooring)

If you can't get a park hopper pass, I'd go to the Magic Kingdom above all the others, especially since you've never been. My wife says it's amazing--OH--and she says you should definitely go to cinderella's castle EARLY in the morning at that park, and get a dinner or lunch reservation. You can eat IN THE CASTLE!! In the evening, you can see fireworks from the castle. It's the most "commercial" of the parks, and you get to see all the best it has to offer. My wife's been several times and she LOVES the MGM park, since she's really into animation. Every park there has a lot to offer, but those are her favorite. I wouldn't spend the time to go to Hurricane Harbor or whatever the waterpark is on your first visit, and unless you can get the park hopper pass, I woudn't go to the Animal Park (I forget the name--animal kingdom) unless you have lots of extra time and money...hope that helps!

For Movie stars and Thrill rides: MGM Studios
