RE: Going to Orlando but not in to the parks. Need help.
Well, it's up to you, but I bet that your older DD would just love the parks. Plus, she's still free at the parks and at buffet meals, so choose a buffet character meal. We took DS1 at 27mo and he had a blast!
You can also hit Downtown Disney, and visit some of the different WDW resorts (just tell the guard that you want to look around). Take a monorail ride - the Epcot loop is especially cool.
