1) Don't skip the 3p parade at MK, it's pretty fun to watch. I haven't seen FoF, but it's a relaxing thing to do. There are no other daytime parades at Disney right now (they shut down the ones at HS and AK).
Watch it from Frontierland. The parade route runs from Frontierland over to MS and exits stage there. Frontierland is far less crowded for viewing, as most people crowd around the hub and main street. Also, there is seating over there (rockers, railroad tie planters and raised patios). My favorite way to do it is show up about 30 mins early, snag a Turkey Leg (they are sold directly across from the rockers) and snag a rocker or planter seat and wait for the show while eating a snack/lunch.
2) Do NOT skip making ADRs. At DL it's not really required...but at WDW it is a must. I know you had another thread about this, but if you want to do ANY table service, even if it seems like it's a lower end offering (not just BoG) make the ADR. You can always try and modify it later, and they are fairly forgiving for the 30 minutes around your ADR time (so, what I'm saying is you can show up early, and most of the time they'll be able to seat you, and if you a few minutes late, they won't hold it against you, though you shouldn't be more than a few minutes late because that's just poor manners...but things do happen)
3) Do NOT miss your ADRs. You will be charged $10 per person on the reservation if you do, unless you cancel 24 hours in advance.
4) I agree about riding the rides that both parks "share". You'll find that many of them, specifically the Magic Kingdom/Disneyland crossovers, are very different. I'll keep to myself which I prefer for which park, but it makes for some fun retrospective discussion after the ride, imho.
The only ones that don't follow this pattern are Little Mermaid (queue is VASTLY different, but it's pretty much the same exact ride) and Sourin (same comments).
So, now some very important questions...
Do you plan to rent a car or take the busses / monorails?
Where are you staying for your Uni day?
What are your plans for Uni (it really is a 2 - 3 day thing, you'll be hard pressed, especially if you are not staying at a Uni Deluxe hotel with the unlimited Express Pass to see it all in 1)?
Which resort are you staying at?
What Dining Experiences interest you? Fine Dine? Character Dine? Any favorite types of food? One thing WDW beats the SOCKS off of Disneyland (though not Anaheim / LA) is the variety of food choices.
