| I like all the attractions but in EPCOT I like the Universe of Energy, Kodak's
Imagination, Canada, and the American exhibits the best.
In the MK I like the Pirates of the Carribean, the Jungle cruise, the kids
really like Mickey's Birthdayland (now Starland).
The Unofficial Guide to Disney has some ways of getting to various
attractions fast with minimal lines.

Like you I am returning after 14 looooooong years. I've been told by
many that there is a technological gap between the Audioanimatronics
in TMK and Epcot/MGM and it would be a good idea to go to TMK first.
As far as which attractions to make a beeline for? Well I'd say that in
TMK it boils down to several right off the bat. These are "Pirates..."
The Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, The Jungle Cruise, and maybe
Space Mountain.
In Epcot I plan on going directly to the World Showcase and especially
The American Pavillion. I'll do Future World in early evening.
In MGM I plan on doing either The Great Movie Ride or Indiana Jones
ASAP and then the other stuff later. Actually, I plan on doing MGM
only in the morning and plan to get out of there early.
These are just some plans from another 14 year absentee.....but I think
what you should do is head for the attraction YOU liked the best and
missed the most.

| In the Magic Kingdom, I'd beeline for _The Pirates of the Caribbean_ in
Adventureland (Carib. Plaza).
In EPCOT, I think I'd head for either _Horizons_ or _Journey Into Imagination_,
depending on mood. Here I have to agree with .1 though, none of the Future
World attractions is on a don't-bother list so its just a matter or ordering.
In EPCOT's World Showcase I would go for _The American Adventure_.
Finally, at MGM, I think I'd side with either _Star Tours_ or _The Great
Movie Ride_. It depends on how you feel about motion rides but _Star Tours_
has the *best* pre-show area! (IMHO).

BTW, I'd probably order the parks in MK, EPCOT, Disney-MGM order.

| In the Magic Kingdom, I think you would have to decide which ride is a
must for you to do, and possibly redo. I would plan to do one of the
following first thing in the morning, assuming arrival at gate opening:
Space Mountain, 20,000 Leagues, or Jungle Cruise
Why - because, personal opinion, these seem to always have a line to
them. Space mountain due to its popularity, but the others more due to
the type of ride - fair amount of loading/unloading time.
In EPCOT, again if first thing in the morning, if there is no queue,
walk right into Spaceship Earth, or head over to Journey Into
Imagination or Wonders of Life.
I have to agree with others that The American Adventure is a MUST see,
but it is also the furthest attraction from the gate.
At MGM, I would do Star Tours or The Great Movie ride first. I haven't
done Star Tours in WDW, but have at Disneyland - great ride, will get
the adrenalin going (if it isn't already from just being at WDW!!!).
Regarding the Indiana Jones Stunt Specatacular, when entering (or while
in line) pick up a schedule of the daily events. This will show the
show times for Indiana (and others, Sound Stage, Superstar...) for the
day (and week). There may not be a show until an hour or more after
opening, and remember that there is seating for approx 2000 at each
Indiana show.
Decide what YOU want to see, what has attracted YOU to the theme park
and DO that attraction. A more realistic choice may be what
rides/attractions/pavilions don't you desire doing?

I wouldn't bee-line anywhere. Take things SSSLLLOOOWWWW and enjoy
them. Even if you don't see everything the first time, it gives you
a good excuss to visit next year. Even standing in line can be fun.
Our most boring day was one that it rained. We went from attraction
to attraction with no wait. It killed the fun and anticipation.
and in the end, you end up singing the song, ...is that all there is..
I have enough unseen attractions left at TMK to keep us going back
for years.
