There's a lot more than Disney in the area. We did a side trip for an airboat tour of the Boggy Creek swamp in Gimore Country, Seaworld, and the Kennedy Center. We also reserved a day for Epcot Center, but we really needed more than that. One evening we went to the Pirate Dinner Theater in Orlando (http://www.piratesdinneradventure.com/index.php?page=Pirates-Dinner-Adventu re-Orlando-Florida). Tacky as all get out but our kid loved it (she's really into pirates).
