Definitely one day at NASA.
How do you rate all the different theme parks?
How about a nature/everglades excursion?
What does a cab ride from the airport to Disney area cost?

Orlando has TONS of stuff for young children, it really is a city for families. NASA/Kennedy Space Center is cool, see it while you can because the United States is ditching the space program and who knows what will happen with that.
Kids will love Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, MGM/Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom (if they like animals), Sea World, Epcot, Busch Gardens is only an hour away in Tampa.
Waterparks galore also...Blizzard Beach, Aquatica, Wet and Wild, Typhoon Lagoon if that's their thing. Plenty of LARGE malls- Florida Mall, Mall at Millenia, Bellz Factory Outlet Mall.
Everglades is definitely worth it to see it.
Magic game at new arena in Orlando (Amway Center), just an hour away for Lightning game in Tampa...great beaches in Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete area (Gulf of Mexico side)...Atlantic side has Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, a few more waves than west coast side.
