I much prefer Homassasa Springs, Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, Silver Springs, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Zoo, etc., etc. All of them kid friendly. Disney is Disney, and I suppose everyone wants to go there once. As for me, I will not return.

Just kind of wondering, where were the grandson's parents on this day of "family happiness"?
It this was the summer and it was just the grandkids, you, and Gramps - you should have known about the ridiculously long lines at the popular rides and the very expensive prices for fast food. At knowing about the long lines and expensive prices, as the
adults in the group, you could have said that you are going to Homassasa Springs - and no one would have complained. If one of the grandkids did start whining about going to Disney World - just tell them it is closed for park maintenance that week.
If your son/daughter was also there, you and Gramps could have opted to sit on one of the many shaded park benches whilst (I like that word) the others stood in line for all the Disney stuff.
