Tampa is a 15 min longer drive, nicer facility and you avoid the Disney families.

JetBlue into MCO terminal C is our first choice from NY when available.
Everyone loves their children/grandchildren, but not those of others. If you don't want to listen to some inane video game or movie or have the back of your seat constantly being kicked, you need to be very observant when selecting a seat on planes with "open" seating when flying in/out of Orlando.

As a frequent flyer on these airlines, usually Southwest, but going all the way back to PSA in California in the 1960's, I had a habit of asking the first cabinet attendant I would encounter about the number of passengers in the hope of caging a row with an open seat.

On my first flight out of Orlando, I asked this of the attendant. She gave me a look as if she was seeing an alien life form and answered: "Sir, we are flying FROM Orlando. EVERY seat is filled and half of them with passengers under the age of 10!

I laughed all the way to my seat.
