Spring Break at Walt Disney World!

Six of us (3 adults, 46, 51, 70 and 3 kids, 5, 8, 10) are road-tripping to WDW in March. We're staying at a time share in Kissimee.

I'm thinking about sending J and D to the Kennedy Visitors Center including lunch with an astronaut. I was surprised how expensive it is-$50/adult and $40/child for entry. They have packages for $75/adult and $59/child which includes the astronaut buffet. Parking is $10.

Must dos at Disneyworld (b/c I missed these the last 2 times or they're new):

All the kids want to collect autographs. Last time we used pillowcases. This time we're bringing quote books or something like the Junior Encyclopedia of Animated Characters.
