When are you going?? Do you want to stay on property? You could probably start booking that now. Last I heard you have to wait 90 days before you can make ADR's (dining reservations) but I keep hearing they are going back to the 180. Not sure when that is going to happen. Get a good guide book, Passporter, Unofficial Guide, there are many of them and look through them and see which extra activities you want to do, some of them may need advance reservations also. You should check the calender at the official Disney site and see what events they have going on for the time, example, EMH (extra magic hours), fireworks shows, fantasmic, special parades etc.. What I do is make up my own calender and start penciling in what park or parks we want to go to on which days and which days do we want to take off from the parks. Once I know which park I'm going to be in then we can figure out the dining. So if I'm going to be in the Magic Kingdom for the day, we would plan to either eat in the Magic Kingdom or at one of the monorail resorts. WDW is a big place so you have to leave plenty of time for traveling to other parks, back to rooms etc., plan wisely and you'll have a great time.
