Disneyworld consists of 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, a shopping and restaurant area and lots of hotels. It is a huge place and can take 15 minutes to drive from one side to the other. Universal consists of 2 theme parks, a shops and restaurants area, a few hotels and 1 waterpark. It isn't on the same scale as Disneyworld. In the same area is Seaworld, Discovery Cove and Aquatica. Further afield is Busch Gardens in Tampa and Kennedy Space Centre.
I don't think anyone can say what is a must do, it all depends on what everyone in your group will like, so you need to research what is at each park. There is no way that you can do everything though, you won't have time. You could easily spend 10 days at Disney World itself if you want to see everything, maybe the whole 2 weeks. Universal will take 3 - 4 days. It might be worth you buying an Orlando guide book. You don't need to do parks everyday, you can have rest days or maybe spend a few hours in a theme park in the morning and then have some pool time in the afternoon. You just have to take it at a pace that you are happy with. Beware of the crowds, if you go to Disney be sure to use the fastpasses. As far as tickets go, don't buy on the gate because it wastes time and is more expensive. There are several third party websites that you can buy tickets from in the UK as well as direct with the company. Good luck with your planning.
