Well what worked for me, is I went to the bowl last year, took the whole fam. we went to Disney while there. My 6 and 9 year old said they hated it and never want to go back. We stopped a the beach for a short time on way home, and the kids said all they want to do is go to the beach next time.
Disney has ruined the experience. Everything has to be done on an AP, so everyone is walking around with their faces in their phones, more-so than usual. The crowds and lines are insane, even though they claim to be limiting the numbers. You have to schedule everything, from days at park, rides, to food. They changed the fast pass, to genie and now you can only use it about twice per day the way it works because by the time you schedule one and ride it, the next one you can schedule wont be until night. The lines were hours long for rides. Normal non popular rides were hour plus, popular rides were 2-3 hours or more. My kids did not like it at all.
They enjoyed the Animal Kingdom and Sea World because they could see the animals. But a zoo is just as good as that. The rides were impossible to get on mostly with kids. Unless you wanted to sit in line for hours.
Went 10 years ago with my oldest, who was 8 at the time, and it was so much better, we all loved it, and actually thought about getting a time share we liked it so much. Now it is just terrible.
