I agree to keep trying for that Be Our Guest reservation! You never know what might open up prior to your trip. My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you're at the parks prior to rope drop. You can get so much more done that way. And if you get tired, you can go back to your hotel, swim, and take a nap, then head back to the parks in the evenings when it's cooler. I know you weren't really asking for general Disney advice, but rope dropping the parks always made a tremendous difference in how much we were able to do/see in the parks.
I recommend
www.wdwprepschool.com. Tons of great advice, sample touring plans, etc. Have so much fun! I'm jealous.
