With the teens in mind, I would do HS and Mk. They will love ToT and RnR and Toy Story Mania. They will probably get a kick out of the street shows too at HS. HS has Fantasmic, Lights, Motor, Action and Indiana Jones. They will enjoy all of these too. Have a great time! Pixie dust for 3 days.

Don't count on getting a site close to the CS, even for disability. My site was horrible and they knew I was in a wheelchair.

As for a wheelchair rental, have your dad(?) ask his doctor to write a prescription for a rental of one. You can pick it up from a local medical store at home and bring it with you. The insurance company should cover it. That is what I did. I was given a 3 month rental even though I only needed it for 2 weeks. That was just how my insurance did it. That would save you the rental fees.

See if you can talk your family into adding a day (or more!). By the time you invest that much effort and $$ into getting nine people to WDW from Arkansas, you might as well stay awhile! Disney park tickets get cheaper on a per-day basis the longer you stay, and if you plan your meals so you're not eating in Disney restaurants, you can keep your costs down so each incremental day in Orlando is not very expensive.

For example, I just helped get tickets for my inlaws, and the difference in cost between a 3 day ticket and a 4 day ticket (thru the Mousesavers link) was $5 each, plus they throw in 2 days free! So for $5 more per person, they got 6 day park tickets instead of 3 day tickets. That way we could do a park each day, which is much less tiring, they didn't have to pay for park hoppers and they don't have to miss anything.

We come from Texas, and by the time we get to Orlando, we're staying at least a week. I'd be too tired after doing the parks commando style for 2 days to drive home!

Happy planning!

With all the signature rides at MGM now, I agree - if you go there get a FP for the Toy-story ride immediately. I hear they go very fast. Never ridden on it before, but planning on doing it in November. Personally I'd probably do Epcot and Epcot, but that's just me. Like Jen says, AK gets too hot - no air flow, but there are a couple of great rides there!
