Once again, I'm totally in agreement with Matterhorn Fan (how can one person be so cool?). Here's a bit of a conversation I just had with CP:

MousePod:
let's say, for example, you wanted to sample food at every official on-property WDW restaurant...

Cadaverous Pallor:
I don't have to eat everywhere.
I mean ride all the rides.

MousePod:
well, then I'd say 8 nights. That's how Heather and I do it.We set aside one full day for each theme park, giving ourselves time to be leisurely.

Cadaverous Pallor:
Ok, there we go.

MousePod
At least 1/2 day for a water park, at least 1/2 day for shopping. 5 decent dinners (you'll skip lots of great restaurants, though - necessitating multiple visits); at least one night at Pleasure Island (expect to spend most of your time at the Adventurers Club);at least one good round of mini-golf

Cadaverous Pallor:
I enjoy a good meal but experiencing every restaurant is basically at the bottom of my list. All that other stuff sounds fantastic though.

MousePod:
...an evening to experience Fort Wilderness (one of my favorite "secrets");and at least 1/2 day to visit all of the resorts - to see the theming. Some people make a game of it, like: play a game of air hockey in each resort's gameroom, have a drink in each resort, use the bathroom in each resort...

Cadaverous Pallor:
Heh, you said that on the 'pod...

MousePod:
Yeah, one of my fave honeymoon memories is getting a 25th anniversary pressed quarter in each resort.
And of course, you have to make sure you chat with as many CMs as possible - they run the gamut from temp locals, to college hopefuls to retirees - tons of great stories. But like I said in my post, it's the little things that stick with you.

Cadaverous Pallor:
There's too much to do. It's very daunting. Part of the reason why we're going to Paris first...

MousePod:
I remember hanging around EPCOT - being thrilled to spot all of these tiny little lizards everywhere. Then we spent a half hour watching birds eat said lizards.
The one thing I love about being a hardcore Disney fan at WDW is the 'inversion' - by which I mean that the "major attractions" for most tourists become the wallpaper,
and the Disney atmosphere becomes the major attraction.

Cadaverous Pallor:
That happens for us at DL. you go for the atmosphere, the little things.

(thanks for letting me post this private conversation, CP. This converation belongs in this thread).
