week in Orlando

My family is spending next week in Orlando, 12 of us including 9 yr. old and 14 yr. old. Any suggestions besides Disney? Maybe a dinner theater?

Kids love Gatorland: http://www.gatorland.com/

How about Kennedy Space Center? www.kennedyspacecenter.com

I honestly couldn't recommend any of the dinner theaters.

A 9 and a 14 year old would love Islands of Adventure at Universal.

I was at Blue springs Park twice last week to show friends. There were lots of manatees in. It is warm today and tomorrow, but then the cool weather again so it would be fun to see.

Haven't been in a long time, but went to Medieval Times with a group of kids who loved it. Jousting, cheering, spear-y things.

Agree with Islands of Adventure at Universal; mega-roller coaster rides.
