Non-Disney Activities in Orlando?
We're thinking of going to Disneyworld later this year with myself, DH, our 2YO, and possibly family of other varying ages from 14-seniors. Any all-ages, family friends things to see/do in the area other than Disney? We'll probably be coming around November-December. TIA!

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney/entertainment/cirque-du-soleil/ technically this is "at" Disney... its at Downtown disney... but from what i've heard its quite amazing. Downtown disney also has some restaurants and a Lego Store.. Rainforest Cafe is there, i've heard that's pretty neat. I've never been there personally.

Those are a few things I could think of right off the top of my head that are non-disney. The FLA aquarium is actually located in Tampa. I'm not sure where you are staying Everything else is located in the Orlando area.
HTH
Winter Park - scenic boat tour, Park Ave shopping and restaurants, Morse Museum...
Leu Gardens
Blue Springs State Park - manatees
Downtown Disney - like pp said, on Disney property, but a lot of non-Disney owned stuff - Cirque du Soleil and House of Blues. Disney Quest is great for kids and adults who love video games.
There's also SeaWorld and Universal for other theme parks.
The PP's pretty much covered it from what I can tell. If you are up for a drive to Cocoa beach, maybe check out the Space Center, especially since they are supposed to be closing the program.
There is also some good shopping in the area...if you are enthusiastic about that stuff like I am:)
