Well, the trailers that play in the queue line are about 10 minutes, but the actual ride (with the movies montage at the end) is about 22 minutes.

Walt Disney World Railroad
A great attraction to do when you just want to rest your feet. There are 3 stops: Main Street, Frontierland (the bottleneck area, unfortunately), and Toontown
Swiss Family Treehouse
It's a walkthrough that's best done in the early afternoon when it's not too hot and you've got some time on your hands. It only takes about 10 minutes to walk through, 5 if you rush.
Magic Carpets of Aladdin
aka Dumbo in Adventureland, but with a much shorter wait time, and the added bonus of trying to avoid (or purposely get hit by) the camel "spit" (it's just water...so we say to the guests...)
Liberty Belle Riverboat
It circles around the Rivers of America, and honestly, while it's nice to look at, there's not much to do on it besides sit around. Either that or walk around in a gold sweater while following a blonde woman singing "Walking Happy"
(and the first person who knows what exactly I'm referencing, I'll give you a pink elephant for a week!)
The Haunted Mansion
It's A Small World
Peter Pan's Flight
Disney's PhillarMagic
Cindrella's Golden Carousel
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
It's never a trip to the Magic Kingdom unless you go on these rides!
Ariel's Grotto
If you plan on standing in line for 15 minutes to get her Autograph, or if you want to jump around in some waterworks, this is entirely skippable.
Dumbo the Flying Elaphant
Do Magic Carpets instead.
Mad Tea Party
I'm not a big fan of this ride, but I'll go on it a couple times. Better if one person does the wheel rather than 4 people fighting and shoving for it.
Mickey's Country House and Judge's Tent
Minnie's Country House
Toontown Hall of Fame
Mainly meet-n-greets, though the Judge's Tent has a lot of merchandise to peruse through. The houses have some slight interactivity though. I personally would skip them unless you're autograph hunting.
Tommorowland's Transit Authtority
One of my favorite rides for 20 minute rests! Some days I'd just stay in my seat and the castmember would let me ride it again (like there's ever a wait for it anyway).
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress
Most definitely one of the best attractions and a must-see no matter what.
The Timekeeper
Sadly, it's gone and has already been replaced by the Monsters. Inc Laugh Floor, which I haven't done yet (that'll change in about 6 weeks, though).
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Toy Story + Video Games + Disney Dust = This Ride
Stitch's Great Escape
Avoid like the plague. It's diverting for some people, but totally ruins the character of Stitch for me. Instead of the rambunctious and hyperactive guy he is in the movie, the abomination here is a rude and annoying little prick.
Astro Orbiter
Magic Carpets of Aladdin way high up. Gives great views of the park.
Snow White's Scary Adventures
I personally like to go on it simply for the evil squirrels and the queen.
The Hall of Presidents
If you have the time and are willing to test your willpower, give it a go. It's a nice educational show, but not necessarily for everyone.
Country Bear Jamboree
Depends on the mood of the day. Some days I go just because I need a 20 minute entertaining animatronic show. Other days I'll skip it because there are better things to do.
Jungle Cruise
The animatronics may not look like much compared to the newer ones, but it's fun when you've got a great skipper.
As for some stuff excluded from your list, my notes on them:
Exposition Hall - where you can sit back, relax, and watch 3 cartoons play over and over again (Steamboat Willie, Flower and Trees, The Band Concert)
Pirates of the Caribbean - the Johnny Depp-ization of it has made it more...well, appealing to younger children. who may have been frightened before. Plus, there's a great outdoor Pirate tutorial show that plays outside the attraction.
The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management - while it's a far cry from the original (which is still in Disneyland), it's not that bad, and there's opportunities to start a wave, as well as get up and dance. However, there's a sequence with a Tiki God that may be too intense.
Splash/Big Thunder/Space Mountain - I know that you said rollercoasters aren't your thing, but Big Thunder is tame enough (lots of bunny slopes). If you're not that good with heights or the dark, avoid Splash and Space.
The Barnstormer - a kiddie-coaster in Toontown Fair that isn't much, but hilarious to go on when you're with a group of fellow 18-22 year old castmembers.
Anyways, that's the long and short of it for MK, so on to EPCOT:
EPCOT
Spaceship Earth
Innoventions
The Living Sea
Living With the Land
Soarin'
Cranium Command
El Rio del Tiempo
Maelstrom
World Showcase
Yes to all of them. But since Cranium Command is part of Wonders of Life (which is a seasonal pavilion now), it may be closed when you visit. Also, The Living Sea has been Finding Nemo-ized, and El Rio del Tiempo has been Three-Caballeros-ized.
If you're not up for Mission: Space, they've got this great interactive arcade area in the attraction exit that has some great games.
And be sure to check out Turtle Talk with Crush, along with catching Off Kilter, Mo'Rockin, and a few other standout bands in the World Showcase. The France Pavilion also has a nice dessert eatery: Boulangerie Pátisserie, and a great film: Impressions de France (which you put as an Epcot Maybe). My favorite Showcase to visit, though, would definitely be Japan, which has great galleries, a large shop, two wonderful eateries (Yakitori House for quick service, and Mitsukoshi house for full service), as well as some interesting little shows and such (check out the Miyuki candy artistry if you get a chance). Plus, it's my favorite spot to watch Illuminations.
EPCOT Maybes
Circle of Life
Honey,I Shrunk the Audience!
Skippety-skip-skip from Skiptown, Skipania...
Body Wars
Reflections of China
The American Adventure
Impressions de France
Body Wars is part of Wonders of Life, so again, it may or may not be open. It's a bit more intense than Star Tours, so if you get queasy enough from Star Tours, skip this (again, if it's open). American Adventure is interesting, but it's like the Hall of Presidents, in you either will enjoy it or it'll be a test of your willpower in staying awake. I haven't seen Reflections of China in a long time, but it's still good. It's a circlevision show (360 degree projection), as is Canada's "O, Canada!"
Animal Kingdom[/u]
The Tree of Life
More a photo-op thing and a queue area for Tough to be a Bug, but definitely worth a few snapshots.
It's Tough to be a Bug!
It's actually a *very intense* attraction that I wouldn't recommend for very young ones (though some can sometimes get a sadistic pleasure hearing all the crying...)
Festivals of the Lion King
Even though I'm nowhere near the film's biggest fan, I actually really like this show. It's like a Disneyfied Cirque du Soleil.
Pocahontas and her Forest Friends
Skippable, unless you've got a crush on Pocahontas.
Kilimanjaro Safaris
Best to do this early morning, when the animals will most likely be out and about.
Conservation Station and Affection Station
Maharuju Jungle Trek
Haven't done either in a long time, which is quite strange. I know I skipped out on them during our 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2004 visits. And strangely enough, even though I lived at Disney for the greater half of 2005 and the summer of 2006, I very rarely went to DAK and when I did, it never was for those.
Flights of Wonder
Tarzan Rocks!
A can't-miss show and a dearly-departed show. Tarzan Rocks (which I absolutely loved) has been replaced by Finding Nemo: The Musical.
Animal Kingdom Maybe's
Pangini Forest Exploration Trail
I don't think I've ever done this!
MGM Disney Studios
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Beauty and the BEast
Fantasmic!
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show
Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
New York Street Backlot
One Man's Dream
The Chronicles of Narnia
Playhouse Disney: Live on Stage! (xD)
The Magic of Disney Animation
Disney MGM Studios Backlot Tour
MGM Disney Studios Maybes
The Great Movie Ride
Star Tours
Muppetvision 3-D
Sadly, "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: Play It!" is gone (to make way for another Toy Story Video Game Attraction). But anyways, EVERYTHING at Disney-MGM Studios is a must-see, though my personal favorites will always be:
Beauty and the BEast
Fantasmic!
New York Street Backlot
One Man's Dream
The Great Movie Ride
Star Tours
Muppetvision 3-D
Also, the Magic of Disney Animation Tour is...well...if you were there during its heydey (pretty much 1989-2003), it was good. Now...eh, it's skippable and doesn't offer much. Man, I miss the days of Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams...
Escapay
Still a good deal!
