Your wife probably got a pretty good deal, since September is in the middle of hurricane season, and most schools aroung the country have already started. Now if it's Labor Day weekend, sucks to be you.
Also, remember you have a perk for staying at an 'On Site' resort. You have free shuttle service to all the parks, and you should have days where you get into a specific park one hiour before it officially opens to the public. If I recall, they do it at Magic Kingdom on Sunday or Monday, MGM on Tuesday, Epcot on Wednesday, etc. You'll have to look at the schedule when you get there. If i were you, I'd avoid Magic Kingdom like the plague. That park is geared towards kids 5 - 10, and it reeks Disney. After a day there, I want to pull my hair out anytime i hear the "It's A Small World" song. Make sure and go to Epcot and ride 'Space'. If your wife is prone to motion sickness, stick her on that puppy, and you won't have to worry about going back to Disney again.
Better yet, scrap Disney and go to Universal Studios. The thrill rides at their two parks are 10 times better than Disney's (especially at Islands Of Adventure). They're also opening a new Harry Potter Theme area that is suppose to blow you away.
Oh, I'm all about the rides. But last time, nobody would ride with me. I remember going on the Aerosmith ride all by myself, and that haunted hotel thing with the elevator that went up/down (really cool). I just hate all the heat, the crowds with all the mickey mouse eared kiddos running everywhere, etc.
My kids will already be back in school, but they have 3 days off at the end of September, so we would pull them out a day early and that gives us Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, and leave on Sun.
