Golf cart rides, dancing in the Squares. Uncle Donald's Farm. Golf cart rides. Family pool if not too cold. And more golf cart rides.

I met one grandmother down here that told me at the end of their visit including Disney she asked her grandkids, around the same age as yours, what the best thing was. They said kayaking.
I once read how the best first date is doing something a little dangerous, like skiing or maybe fast rides. Something where there is a controlled risk.

The grandmom told me it was an inexpensive day. But I also remember canoeing with my younger son and my friend and his younger son and his boy cried the entire time. So I guess it depends on the kids and what they're like.

For everyone's sake (including theirs) do NOT allow them to drive your golf cart! No good can come of this.
