I need help with one night!

We are arriving in Orlando in late AM on Friday, July 31. Our Disney vacation does not start until Saturday, August 1. I have a room booked at the Nick Hotel for $189 including breakfast for 4. We are a family of 5 (me, DH, DS11, DD9 and DD6). After reading some reviews, I am not sure if the Nick Hotel is what I want to do or not. There are not room only rates that I see for Disney. I don't think I want to spend another $250 to do Sea World and Universal seems even more expensive than that, so I am thinking hotels there are totally out of the question. Is there any resort that is offsite that is not too expensive (<200/night) that is really great fun for kids of those ages? We will leave Saturday morning to go check in at Disney, so we are really only talking about one full afternoon and evening.

Any ideas?

How about the Clarion Water Park Resort? The kids would enjoy the waterpark.
Looks like the Queen suite would be $174 for the night.

That is an option. Thanks for that suggestion. I will keep it in mind.

I was also looking at the Orlando World Center Mariott, which would be $129 for one night for regular room and $280 for a room that includes four Sea World tickets for one day. Any suggestions on this hotel? Is this a good rate for Sea World tickets including a room?

That seems like a great deal, since even online tickets are 64.95 each(otherwise, that is the child price). Would you be able to book one room with 5 people?

Another option would be to get a Priceline room for $30-$40(I got the Hyatt Place Universal for $30) and do a Disney Water Park. They are $42/$36 now, that would be around $210 plus hotel.
