If you really hope to get ready for a trip to Walt Disney World then I would suggest National Lampoon's Vacation and European Vacation. Also Summer Rental and to get you in the mood for Animal Kingdom, The Great Outdoors. As long as your vacation goes smoother than these, you will have the time of your life.

Ernest Saves Christmas- there are several shots of the airport and the various Florida highways, so it will prepare you for the drive over.

I'm sure we could draw some parallels between the journey in Lord of the Rings and walking through all the parks of WDW (plus, any excuse to watch Lord of the Rings again is good).
But in all honesty, I don't know much of the older stuff, something about the old animation and audio recording annoyingly bothers me, and I'm not quite sure why. If you want to move up in time a little, I'd say the new classics are where it's at: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Hercules (though not really as popular for whatever reason) are all good choices.

I believe that the movie studio security gate (with the snakes) was actually the Disney-MGM Studios construction site.

When I went to Disneyland for the first time I thought it would be fitting to watch "Sleeping Beauty" for the first time since I was in elementary school.

Swiss family Robinson for sure great movie and explains what's up with the tree house. Any of the old shorts are great for getting into the spirit of Disney. Something newer dare I say Tomorrowland.

Good call! I just got done watching that movie, it was total off-the-rails insanity. By far my favorite non-Disney, Disney film to date! I'm still completely blown away that they filmed that in the parks and no one noticed.

Just wanted to comment that next year will be my 4th trip as well I'm also turning 30 but on September 27th, lol. This movie has a lot of haters but Haunted Mansion is a great watch, at least for an introduction to the story.. There is also the tower of terror movie that came out in 1997, again another decent movie for reference. Can't go wrong with nightmare before Christmas either since your going during Halloween season!
