Most of the high points have been covered, but my tuppence:
MGM, IMO, has the best rides. As others have said, the Rock'n'Roller Coaster is excellent -- one of my favorite coasters anywhere. (Although it's quite short.) Muppetvision 3D is a must: just a show, but good Muppetude. (It is one of the few rides that you specifically *want* to see the long pre-show while you're waiting.) Star Tours probably started after you last visited; it's "old", but still delightful (and the lines are now short). And Tower of Terror is a hoot, if you can cope with rides that drop you.
La Nouba is a middling Cirque Show. It was the first one we saw, and it was good enough to get us to see more.
We generally plan to do dinner in Epcot most evenings. France has a couple of fine restaurants; China, Mexico and Japan are good but not exceptional. We haven't yet done Morocco or the new Italy for dinner, but I gather they're both very good. Norway is -- well, good if you like that sort of thing, but it wasn't to my taste. There are also a number of dinner options over in Pleasure Island; as msmemory says, Bongo's proved really excellent for us.
If you miniature golf, Fantasia Fairways (out by the Swan and Dolphin hotels) is a must. It has two full-sized courses, one of which is a good but conventional mini-golf, and the other of which is the most brutal putting green in the entire world.
If the weather is good, there are a couple of water parks on the property. (Do *not* bother with the mini-golf near Blizzard Beach, which was a real disappointment.)
If staying on-site is an option, I commend it: we've stayed at a few different places, and it makes for a particularly pleasant time.
ETA: Oh, and if you happen to be in Epcot at a time when Off Kilter is playing in the Canada area (typically a couple of times a day), I recommend them: fun rock with bagpipes. I've wound up buying all their albums...
