Doug & Andi,
When Clay and I spent a week at AKL last September it was the first time we had spent time at WDW since before AK was opened as well. I made great use of the WDW website before we went especially to book restaurant reservations. That pretty much decided our itineraries for each day. If you want to sit down to eat and not use counter service restaurants, you pretty much must have reservations and even then, you usually have to wait to be seated. All that said, below is a copy of the roughed out itinerary I created for us at the WDW website.
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ You have to log in there and create a profile etc and then you can create an itinerary and you can make reservations. Although we booked our entire trip through that website, I assume you can book restaurant reservations there without all the rest (though that is just a guess on part!) Anyway, being able to create a loose itinerary on the same website also gave me a good place to keep all the reservation confirmation numbers in one place. Though you can request the website to email them all to you as well. Good luck and have fun, Debbie
