They can only go to the family pools. They cannot drive a golf cart. (If Grandma feels generous and thinks letting them drive is a good idea, remind the boys that if a police officer sees them driving, he can and will take their picture, issue them a temporary license on the spot, give them a ticket and then send that info to their home state. Age 15, no learner's permit; 16, no license. Have to wait until 18.) However, they're at the right age to just enjoy being a passenger in a golf cart, especially if it goes over the 441 bridge to the historic side (TV's version of a roller coaster). Otherwise, they can pretty much do what any other guest here does, including taking classes, participating in games, golfing.

Obviously, there are the amusement parks in and near Orlando. I'd definitely say they should go to Universal and check out the Harry Potter stuff. An airboat ride is fun, ditto the paddle boats in Mt. Dora. I'd offer more but my grandson just turned 5 -- I doubt your boys would like a petting zoo or the local parks. Sorry.
