The Florida Mall is about 10 miles away from the Orlando airport. I assume you can check in your bags and drive down to the mall, spend the day there and then return in time for your flight.

Here are some other ideas:

 

1. Brevard Zoo

2. A 2-hour boat ride on the Indian River Lagoon with Island Boat Lines http://www.islandboatlines.com/Home_Page.php

3. An airboat ride at Lone Cabbage Fish Camp http://www.twisterairboatrides.com/

 

Of course, you'll need a rental car for any of these.

If you get a rental car, you can keep your luggage in the trunk until time to return the car and head to the airport. That would give you the most flexibility. Another option would be getting a day room at a hotel...it would give you someplace "to be" while you wait for your flight...with a pool, restaurant, tv and bathroom! I would compare the prices of the above options to paying for an earlier flight...pick the cheapest!
