I went there in August on my honeymoon, also for six days. I have to assume that the weather will be a LOT better for you than it was for us.

My first, best suggestion is to look online for the extra packages that aren't included in normal admission tickets and aren't just normal rides. The best times my wife and I had during the entire trip was when we went on a Segway tour of Epcot before the park opened and the backstage tour we took of the Animal Kingdom. Fewer people, more intimate access to the park and the views. It was great. There's TONS of stuff like this, but they do require reservations, so check it out and see what you can find.

I would highly recommend finding an evening for the Cirque du Soleil (Soliel? whatever) show in Downtown Disney. I've seen....6 or 7 Cirque shows and this would be my third favorite after Quidam and O. It's also a nice break from the humidity and something that feels more "adult" after all the rides.

If you're doing the normal themepark kind of trip, I also can't emphasize enough how important the FastPass is. Figure out which ride you want to ride the most and, as soon as you get to the park, go to that ride and get a FastPass for it. Then wait in a line (or two) until you can go ride that ride. Also, if you're staying AT the resort, you get early access and late access to the parks. Which park stays open late or early varies by day. If you're willing to stay up a bit later or wake up a bit earlier, it can make a big difference in the amount of rides you can get done with smaller crowds. It's also a good way to avoid being out in the middle of the day, when it's the hottest. You'll have time early and late so you won't feel like you're losing out by taking a break in the middle.

If you need recommendations on restaurants, let me know what your budget and food preferences are. I have a few suggestions for you.

Hope that helps. Remember, the most important thing is to not take anything too seriously. Disneyworld is a RIDICULOUS place and it almost defies the mind that it can exist. The more you can run with it and enjoy the total inanity of the experience, the more fun you'll have.
