This is all great stuff! My family has been going to Disney World since the early 90's and we go back every year.

Like others have said, plan ahead. There are lots of resources (web sites, books, etc.) pick what works best for you and go with a plan. Having said that, you still need to be flexible (e.g., if it is pouring rain you may want to do something besides a water park

).

Some other suggestions:

Get park hopper passes and don't be afraid to move between parks. Some parks are busier at different times of the day so try to take advantage of that (planning tools will help you here)
A second vote for the dinning plan; worth the money if you are eating at the parks or resorts
Don't be afraid to use the buses -- they are pretty reliable and you can get anywhere and it really is easier than driving
Don't be afraid to visit other resorts for meals, character events, etc. Often the resort restaurants are not as busy as those at the parks.
Don't be afraid to use the monorail to move between Epcot and the Magic Kingdom
In the parks (with your plan) get your fast passes first and then ride other rides. As soon as you can get a second fast pass (usually after an hour) do it. Usually we send our youngest (a teen) to run and pick them up and meet us at the next ride
If you can manage it, try to catch the fireworks shows at the Magic Kingdom, Studios, and Epcot. Phantasmic at the studios has its own theater while the others are viewable from most anywhere in the park.
The parades are also enjoyable, but the crowds can be initimidating for some
Remember to stop and enjoy the Tequila bar at Epcot

We are going in June with another family for our son's high school graduations (both kids are bringing a friend, so we probably won't see them except at meal times. If then

)
