Going to DW mid-January on a big family trip. We will have 2 days for theme parks.
DH and I have been to WDW many times; our kids have been to MK several times.
The kids are now 8 (boy) and 4 (girl).
The MK is a must...never get tired of that and when we went last year it was too crowded to do much.
Trying to decide the following:
--Should our 2nd park be EPCOT or Sea World? DH and I love EPCOT but are not sure how the kids would like it. Never been to Sea World. (I personally love Hollywood Studios but when we took our then 5 year old it seemed not a lot for him....and we personally aren't in love with AK).
--Should we do MK on a Friday or MK on a Sunday? The other park (which ever it is) would be on the other day. (Leaning toward saving MK for 2nd since it is our favorite).
I loved Sea World and it was a nice break from the "house of mouse". There are only a couple of rides, but the shows and the aquariums are fabulous. There seems to be a little less walking to do, might be good for your children.
I also love Epcot and Animal Kingdom. The important thing (IMO) is to get there when the parks open and plan your strategy for seeing shows, covering the exhibits, taking time to eat etc.
EPCOT is probably my favourite Disney park, but especially with the World Showcase, it makes for a long slog on foot.
However Sea World is my overall favourite, and given that we all enjoy seeing sealife and that last time we went we took a friend's son who wants to be a marine biologist that makes it easy for us.
The two teenagers went on a Beluga Whale experience- probably a bit too old for your children, calgirl, but great for them. (Just checked- you have to be 13).
There are rides for younger (and older ones) and I wonder if the junior sized Shamu Express might be right for your children.
as a former orlando resident,i suggest mk on sunday and sea world for the kids --nice area for the younger ones-----btw you are one hr.and 30 minutes from busch gardens great for the whole family(terrific animal exhibits)--for dining off disney--i suggest international drive--lots to choose--home of the largest mickey dee's in the US(SAND LAKE ROAD)----INTERSECTS WITH INTERNATIONAL DRIVE----for great spaghetti--drive thru too--try fazzoli's

About Orlando...if you have a young children, I can suggest you, Animal Kingdom and, yes, Seaworld is very good! I have seen to Seaworld in San Antonio but I think that its' the same in the other 3 cities!
In different case, you can take in consideration Magic Kindgdom also
