Travel to Orlando, Florida area - Looking for suggestions

I am from Orlando. Nothing at the actual Disney Resort is affordable. Personally the only of the parks I really like is magic kingdom and that is the right ages to take kids to it. Any younger there is nothing and any older it would be boring. There are other great parks other than Disney. Sea World is awesome and they just opened a new water park that is really cool. There is also Kennedy space center which is about a 45 minute drive. Universal Studios Islands of Adventures has some awesome roller coasters or the regular Universal studios you can ride some more mild rides and watch shows being filmed. There are tickets that go to a bunch of different parks called the orlando flex ticket or flex pack something like that. Its all about what you want to do. I always recommend eating somewhere that is not inside the parks because they are so expensive. If you need any more information on things in the area let me know.
