I did it this year with my 2 kids. They had great time but I was sick of standing in hour-long lines, cramped shuttles and dealing with obnoxious pre/teenagers. If you go - mix it up a little and try some of the other parks. Universal is my favorite and the kids love the Magic Kingdom, while my wife likes Busch Gardens in Tampa. It all depends on your kids: if they like roller coasters and thrill rides go to Universal Islands of Adventure or Busch Gardens (you can drink at these parks!), if they are young then definatley do everything at Disney especially the Magic Kingdom and MGM (not Epcot). Check out a Dinner Show - we enjoyed the Pirate Feast just off I-Drive. I love theme parks but I can only handle a fews days at a time. There's alot to see in Florida thats not in Orlando, so do a little research befor committing. If your coming for week I would schedule something else to do BEFORE hitting Disney/Universal. This will keep the kids interested and makes for a great finale. Have fun and let me know if have any questions.
