So here's the plans so far from my research/your suggestions:
Dining - we're going to stack our table service dining on those days and just eat counter service at the park(s)
Miniature Golf
Tea at Grand Floridian
Torch lighting ceremony/Electrical Water Pageant/Wishes from Polynesian
Animal viewing at AKL
Swimming
DTD
Are there any other specific resort activities? I know when we stayed at the Polynesian we got a calendar with things like the torch lighting ceremony and hula dance lessons. Do you think they'll give me a calendar if I just ask? Do any of the other resorts do anything interesting like that?

That would be great!

We'll probably be at POFQ or CSR - love both of them for different reasons and haven't decided yet!

My husband has never been, but I went a time or two as a child.

No booing and they're not terrible suggestions, but they won't be good for us this trip. I haven't been to either one in years and my husband has never been, so we definitely want to do them. But of course those tickets aren't cheap and we'd rather put that towards Disney tickets if we're going to spend it. Plus on a short trip, I also hate to "lose" the Disney time.

And I mentioned my health in the original post, but I guess I wasn't too specific that it's iffy about whether or not I'll have my doctor's clearance to ride roller coasters by then, so I'd rather wait so I can ride everything.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!
