Go to Silver Dollar City, that place is awesome, has rides, and emphasizes simple living and classic American culture.
I haven't been in years but I kinda wanna go back now thinking about it.
Its entirely the characters. Most kids have a sentimental attraction to at least one Disney movie, so being able to meet and see them is most the point.
Nobody cares about the rides at Disneyword/land, you get to ride like 2 a day because of the long lines and they are barely better than any other random park.
Orlando has a lot of other places to visit as well. Sea World, Universal, and smaller stuff like Andretti's or Fun Spot. Most of those companies don't care so long as you have money.
Never got the Hype.

It's as good as you remember it being
Why visit a fake castle when you can see a real fort?
Why go on neutered slow roller coasters when the fastest and most thrilling are elsewhere?
Why pay thousands of dollars for your family of four over 3 days when you can do a full two weeks for the same price somewhere else?
The triumph of marketing over plain common sense is baffling to me.
