Awesome! You'll have a blast!
Pro-tip: use the Disney app to book your lunches and dinners if you're eating in the parks and structure your days around meals. If you're looking to sit down and eat at all, the only way to avoid horrendous wait times is to have reservations up front. Free app, free to make reservations and you can always change them, but it's a huge help.
Also, you use the app to manage your FastPasses -- those are the things that let you skip almost all of the line for one ride at a time. You can make reservations on the app and then you get these fancy little wristbands that you can at the back of the line and, as long as you're within 30 minutes of your reservation, you can go right to the front. As soon as you're off the ride, book a new fastpass somewhere else and you'll really maximize time. We used the fast passes for really popular rides and then waited in smaller lines for other rides until it was time for the big ones. Depending on what parks you're going to, I could list the best rides to fastpass. Let me know if that would be helpful.
Disney is so awesome. Even as a 30-something dude, it's one of the best places we've ever vacationed.

Wow.. That's great advice. Still too early for us to go but I'm hoping in the next few years I'll be there. I have an IT conference there that rotates venues every so many years (It's in Vegas this year).

Our annual trade show is in Orlando this year, so I get to spend 2 weeks there instead of one. Spring break is the week right after the trade show.

Driving to Grand Rapids this weekend to buy a coffee table.
What a strange life I lead.
