Visit disneyworld.com and check out the family vacation specials. They have a special posted right now for September for $1278 for your family of 4 for 5 nights/6 days you get it all...food, parks, lodging.
We went 2 summers ago and stayed at the All Star resort, which was just fine. They have buses that run every few minutes taking you to the various theme parks.
If you go during other months I'd recommend not buying their meal plans as they're expensive. You can rent a fridge for the room. Microwaves come with the rooms. We bought lunch meats and packed a lunch as well as froze our own bottled waters and drinks, which we took into the parks so we didn't get price gouged.
The kids will get tired easily so be sure to space out the day, i.e. start early in the morning, go back and rest for a while and then go back in the evening. Or hang out at the resort in the morning and go to the park in the afternoon through the evening.
I would recommend getting the Park Hopper passes which allows you to come in and out of the theme parks you sign up for as much as you want for the days you purchase them for. That way if your family finds they like 1 park more than another you can go back and forth as much as you like and not be stuck paying out the wazoo.
I have also gone to Disney with staying in Kissimmee and during the off seasons you can get great deals on hotels where they'll give you "x" number of park passes for free.
So, figure out what your budget will be and then look for what will work best for you and your traveling family.
Have fun!

Food Recommendations
My email got bounced back by your ISP. So, I was suggesting to try a grain-free canned food, like Wellness or Nature's Variety Instinct.
This is a place with lots of information and help for cat health problems. Hope it's okay to leave the link, if not ,please leave the food information as this poster needs help with her kitty Itchmo forums
Need recommendations for dog flea control.
Anyone use anything that actually works? I have a golden retriever and I have tried Advantage (which worked in the past when I had cats), but it hasn't helped. I also tried Zodiac Spot-On (cheaper brand) and that didn't work. I have tried flea baths and flea collars as well. Help!
Recommendations for deep friers sm
Need some recommendations for a good quality deep fryer. My third one just bit the dust. Have used Rival and Presto in the past both only lasting 1 year or less. I don't deep fry a lot but get a hankering every now and then for chicken. None of the fryers I have bought in the past last more than a year, they quit right in the middle of frying. I sent one back to Rival, it had died 28 days after I bought it. They sent me another and it died 1 year later. On the hunt again for another and don't care the cheapies anymore. Give me your recommendations. 
Mortgage recommendations for not so good credit...
a family member needs to get a mortgage for a home they are currently "buying" from a friend on contract. I say "buying" in a very loose term, because I am not sure that they even have a written agreement, sometimes it sounds like they are just "renting". Anyway, credit is a problem for them.. bankruptcy 7+ years ago, collection accounts they are currently paying on, etc. and probably some current finance company bills and "of course" the "new-used SUV" they got about 8 months ago. You all know what I'm saying here, this is not a "one time credit problem" .... Supposedly, they tried one mortgage company but, according to the wife, after about 3 months they got mortgage approval but PMI insurer turned them down. They actually have a good deal on the home, appraised at approx 90,000 and they are buying it for approx $78,000, so there is some equity. Of course, they have actually no $$$ to really put down. The situation is that they have been living there a few years and the seller "a friend of theirs" needs the cash by October, so that he can purchase a property he is currently buying on contract from his sister, who needs the money now, etc. and on and on it goes. Anyway, if they cannot come up with a mortgage, they are out, have to move and of course, they will be trying to hit us up for cash or, heaven forbid, a place to live!!! I need any suggestions anyone has or any names of mortgage companies that deal with this particular situation. The wife called us and asked us to co-sign, but that's out of the question. Appreciate any advice
