Orlando for 4 hours

After our cruise in late January, we will have 4 hours to kill before we would check in for our flight out of MCO. We have 3 yr old twins and a 6 yr old so we really don't want to just hang around the airport for those 4 hours. Really then the airport would be 6 hours because we will go through check in 2 hours ahead of our flight. It sometimes can take a long time to get through the lines. Any ideas on what we could do for those 4 hours? We probably will not want to spend a lot of money such as going to Crayola. I once heard that some hotels will let you rent a room for just a few hours but I don't know if that is true. I was also thinking a park where we could let the kids play and we could eat lunch but any other ideas would be appreciated.

http://www.between9and5.com and http://www.dayuse.com are two sources to check for hotels offering day rates. I would also check http://www.resortpass.com for hotels that just allow you to use their pool, spa, etc. for a fee.

Hyatt in MCO usually has day rooms .. you get use of the pool

Go to Disney Springs for a couple of hours and enjoy a nice lunch.

I would "second" Disney Springs; the parking is free, there are some areas to play and walk around, the restaurants, and shops... We sometimes go there just for Ghiradelli chocolate and ice cream. There are also two good outlet malls in Orlando. My last suggestion is a little town called Winter Park which is near downtown Orlando and has independent stores, cool restaurants, etc... https://winterpark.org/park-avenue

If you're coming in on a Sunday go to the Lake Eola Farmer's Market in downtown Orlando, there's a small playground near the lake and normal farmers' market stuff.

 

You'll see real Orlando and kill a few hours.

Typically about 30 minutes. Depends on time of day, etc. But you can research by doing a future arrival on Google maps or Waze to get an idea of traffic for your specific trip.
