This would have been easier to answer if I had known the make up of your travelling group. Kids/no kids? Ages? Number of people? Number of days in parks?
That being said, here is my list:

Ride: MK-Splash Mountain. Epcot-Soarin'. DHS-Tower of Terror. DAK-Expedition Everest
Show: MK-Philharmagic. Epcot-The American Adventure (American Pavilion/WS). DHS-Voyage of the Little Mermaid. DAK-Haven't seen any of them.
Restaurant: Sit down-Le Cellier (Canada/WS), 'Ohana (Polynesian). Buffet: Cape May Cafe (Beach Club Resort). Quick Service: MK-Columbia Harbor House. Epcot-Sunshine Seasons. DHS-Starring Rolls Cafe. DAK-We always vacate by 1:00, so I have never eaten here. DTD-Earl of Sandwich and Wolfgang Puck Express.
Parade: Not a fan of afternoon parades. LOVE LOVE LOVE Spectromagic, so I guess my recommendation would be MSEP.
Fireworks: Wishes or Illuminations. Fantasmic! Is a distant second choice.

I would also recommend:
Jellyrolls in the Boardwalk for after hours entertainment.
Resort visiting - The Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Wilderness Lodge are all must sees.
Alternate forms of transportation - the boat ride from DTD to POR/POFQ is lovely, as is the boat ride to WL.
Catch the Electrical Water Pageant if you can.
Watch Wishes from the Polynesian beach at least once.

Have a wonderful, magical time.
