One day in the World

In our next trip to Orlando, in December 09, my parents want to skip Disney !
However I have convinced them to let me have a day there while they go to Sea World or Universal, of which I would not mind missing.
I will have a one day park hopper ticket and will be nearly 15 when I visit. I love coasters. As I have been so many times and all my rides are my favourites, I can't decide what to do. I am aiming to get there as early as possible and leave as late as possible. I am staying off property.
What rides should I not miss, and is there any order I should do the parks in in order to see/do as much as possible.
Thanks!

I am sorry they feel that way! Thankfully, you have plenty time until your trip to hopefully change their minds! With you living so far away, and I am not sure how often you get down to Orlando, that is really a shame.

Anyhow, as far as the order you do the parks, that is really going to matter on the date/day of the week that you plan on visiting WDW. But, since you're staying off property, EMH won't really factor in, and most likely all parks will open at 9am. That being said, I would begin with the parks that will fill up quickly, and the rides that will fill up as well. Here's what my game plan would be, considering you enjoy coasters, and throwing in some others I think you'd enjoy:

Hollywood Studios:
Rock n Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania

Magic Kingdom:
Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mickey's Philharmagic

Animal Kingdom:
Expedition Everest, Khali River Rapids, Primeval Whirl, Safari

Epcot:
Soarin, Mission Space, Test Track

Best of luck to you!

If the day you are going a park has morning extra magic hours, (they open the park 1 hr early for on-site guests) you could either avoid that park, or if it's a park that has rides you want to go on, get to that park first, because it will be really crowded later.
Also, make good use of the fast pass. IE: at The Studios with Rock nRoller Coaster, & Tower of Terror: fast pass the one with the longer wait & ride the other.
Same at MK with Big Thunder & Splash Mtn.
At Epcot, look at the board to see what has the longest wait and Fast Pass that & ride something else.
At AK, fast pass Everest & ride something else.
Go on the WDW web site to Parks, they list all the attractions. Make notes on which rides are your priorities so you don't miss anything.
Good luck! Sounds like you'll have a great day.
