We just got back a week ago and flew w/ 3 little ones, ages 1,3 and 6 and we used anything and everything to keep them preoccupied. The older ones had Pixter's, like a gameboy and they really helped, crayons, and special games bought just for the trip, the newness helps keep thier attention a little more! A big problem that we discovered this last trip was the lack of food now on the flights. We learned the hard way that you need to pack your own food and don't even expect there to be milk and such avail. This really hit us hard when we sat on the tarmack for 2 hours in Pheonix at our layover and then had to deplane only to have to race to another plane in another terminal! Food was a major issue, so pack well! Good luck! And btw, we also went on the cruise and ended up getting into Orlando very late, but found the Radisson at the port very easily and not a long drive, and it was very worth it to stay there, we had a 2 bedroom suite which worked well w/ kids, they were very accomodating and it was a very nice facility, esp. for the special 99$ rate, which is still on as I read recently!
but the thought is tempting!
