In terms of rides, pretty much anything is game. Like, it depends on your tastes, and since height is no issue, more thrill rides would probably be a given. As in, Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Matterhorn etc. If you want to see something absolutely amazing, Soarin' is at Epcot (I don't know if you are going to that park). But epcot is releasing TONS of hot rides, like there is a spaceship simulation one that is so intense, that people with high blood really shouldn't go for healath concerns. Then the test track is fun, and a trip into the future is awaiting your way.
But I mean, I can talk about each park and say which rides are good...but in all honesty, every disney park (animal kingdom, epcot, mgm, magic kingdom) have really taken a step up above any theme park. You can ride any ride (yes...even it's a small world) and just enjoy yourself (and that includes your kids). But there are so many more things outside of the parks and such that you should be aware of.
The places you should especially go to (outside of all the amazing Disney Parks) are 1) Downtown Disney and 2) Pleasure Island. The Downtown Disney is a hot place, especially during the night time, for shopping, dining, maybe a movie, or Cirque de Soleil, etc. There is also this place called Disney Quest, which is equivalent to Gameworks. Its a really loaded place where there are not only jsut plain video games, but a lot of interactive, virtual 3-D type stations around this massive place that any kids would enjoy (I am talking about white water rafting, competitions with i7 other people, race car driving....just so many things. Like, if your kids have even a slight interest in video games, Disney Quest will make their vacation magical.
Pleasure Faire is for someone like you who might want to go clubbing or have a nice night out just having a great time. After hours, no minors aloud, so if the kids are tucked away and you want some adventure and pleasure...Pleasure Faire will certainly be a stop you must make.
I'd also suggest the Disney Water Parks, but I have no idea on the weather there, so I might want to take that back. But the water parks are really cool too, and there are two to choose from 1)Typhoon Lagoon (what I loved about this one was swimming with the sharks) and 2)blizzard beach (a water park themed around snow and ice decorations...really unique). however, like I said, weather might be an issue, so I wouldn't press this strongly.
Hopefully that helps! I am 19, and I certaianly envy your kids right now, haha. Have fun!
(Side note...one place I went to was NASA, and that was interesting, but I wouldn't know if you kids would enjoy somethign that involves seeing stuff from space missions and stuff, a nd listening to presentations. But if they like spaceships or you are interested in going, Cape Canavarel is not too far off).

for tons of information including maps and descriptions of each park and resort.
WDW - Orlando - you can get the maps of each park and see how close they are to the place where you're staying.
Space Mountain - is a roller coaster in the dark - amazing.
Aerosmith - roller coaster in mgm park.
Himilyans - roller coaster in the Animal Kingdom.
Splash Mountain - roller coaster in Magic Kingdom - great when so hot! - and they take pictures of you screaming - yeah!
Tower of Terror - only did this once and that was enough for me.
All of the rides are so much fun - even It's a SMall World - great inside cooler area when it's so hot outside.
You can find each by downloading the maps of each site from the disney site.
I loved Epcot - and also visiting restaurants at the Swan & the Dolphin. I loved taking the boat rides from the Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian Hotel - just to see how the #1 rated hotel actually is.
The monorail is also so much fun and that goes from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot - and it's fast, clean and an amazing view.
All of the transportation is my favorite word - FREE!
I've been to disney about 11 times - so far and I'm hoping to go again this year. I've stayed about 6 separate places and they are all good.
It is such a great experience - each park is amazing and my partner and I were picked to be GRAND MARSHALL'S OF THE MGM PARADE! My partner said no - and I said yes, and we were so glad we did.
GOD bless us always.

Disney has lots of rides and shows for young and old.
Seaworld has lots of shows, and very little rides. It's a zoo with Shamu, and some other shows basically. It does have two roller coasters with one being for kids.
Univesal isn't bad for there ages. I would say Universal and Disney. It also depends on long they are going to go there. If it's 3 days, I would say only go Disney. If it's 6 days, go both Universal, and Disney. Universal might take 2 of those days.

Sea World:
Kraken (massive B&M floorless coaster gaurenteed to be extremely smooth and very well designed)
Journey to Atlantis (unique water ride)
Disney World:
Epcot:
Mission SPACE (unique simulator, not for anyone with motion sickness, trust me)
Test Track (nice coaster like ride)
Soarin' (interesting simulator)
MGM Studios:
Tower of Terror (unique drop tower ride)
Rock n' Roller Coaster (a Vekoma coaster... possibly rough, I've never ridden it though)
Magic Kingdom:
~waste of time
Animal Kingdom:
Expedition Everest (Vekoma coaster with excessive theming, I've never ridden it, voted one of the top 50 coasters in the world by Amusement Today)
and a water rapids ride, not sure of its name
... and thats about it for those two parks.
If your kids are hardcore thrill seekers the worlds tallest skycoaster is located in Kissimmee near Disney along with a drag race ride hitting speeds of 110.

a million.All Disney hotels are on the factor of Disney parks with loose transportation. 2. till January 4th it is going to be packed. maximum US scholars circulate lower back to college after that. 3. stay at Disney motel and use Magic Hours. 4. you may no longer have extra that one FP at a time. On a uncommon social amassing you may get 2. FP would be long gone early interior the day. Your FP would be for hours later. that is going to inform you in the previous you get it. an illustration would be published. So it would desire to be 11 am and your GP would desire to be for 7pm. 5 try internet site decrease than. 6. Disney park tickets are extra decrease priced once you purchase them for an prolonged era of days. Doing common and Sea worldwide is going to get very high priced. And each and each of the parks are going to be crowded in this time. common is getting extra site visitors now simply by fact of Harry Potter. Disney parks each and each can take an entire 2 days to do.

Go to as many places and shows that you can go to. Be sure to sit close to the waters, that is always great!
I hope you stay a whole week because it will take you that long just to be able to see everything!!!
