I know a lot of these guys have been a few times, but please take these tips. I have been more than 200 times and stayed on the GROUNDS of Disney at least 60 of those 200. No kidding.
First off, STAY in a Disney hotel on the grounds. NO NEED TO RENT A CAR, they have a bus that will take you ANYPLACE on the grounds that you want to go. EVERYTHING OUTSIDE of disney is a tourist trap, and expensive as hell for nothing.
DO NOT MISS Disney Village. The GF will LOVE it. and be prepared to spend a few bucks.
Dont bother making reservations at any place to eat. If there are 10k shops in disney there are 10k places to eat as well. and you may regret having to RUN LIKE HELL to make a reservation.
They have several water parks on the grounds that are fun, and they also have the Jungle thing, I forget the name. anyway if you go in the summer, you wont see much at the jungle place as all the animals sleep though the heat, and they do that in the shade hidden. So think that over before going.
I can not think of a single place there that WONT take a debit card, so no need to worry about much cash. As with any big busy place, keep your money and wallet in a safe place, and dont leave expensive things in the hotel room unless they are locked up.
Have a good time.
Oh, and if this is your first trip there and it is a bit of a BIG trip, SPEND like you are bill gates. Deal with it later, Make it a trip to love.
