Look at the park maps and plan your stops accordingly. Magic Kingdom...
cannot be done in one day, so pick one side for day 1 and the other side for day 2. When it's hot, which is always, any indoor air conditioned ride is worth it. My favorite ride at Magic is Buzz Lightyear and at Hollywood Studios it's Toy Story. They hadn't built Star Wars when I was there last so I can't comment on that. Prepare to wait in line, bring snacks and water, and wear comfortable shoes.
