Yeah i was visiting Orlando a couple of years ago...I wish that I had
enough planning time to find more deaf people from Orlando area, but
unfortunately I didn't know anyone there. It looks like that I've
NEVER see a deaf person in Orlando !!! I strongly suggest for you
to find a few deaf people families there if possible. I was staying
at the Hyatt "pink" hotel near the Disney I recalled visiting the
DisneyWorld it's very very very huge almost impossible to
touch every areas. At the DisneyWorld, we felt so overwhelmed
with its huge size too big and then they asked us to choose one:
1) Magic Kingdom now includes the high-tech,
2) educational Epcot,
3) movie-mad Disney-MGM Studios
and
4) Animal Kingdom.
My mom and I choose "Epcot" good for
exploring many different countries and their cultures..
but I think it's a good choice for adults, but maybe NOT for children...
depend on their age, their level and their interests.
But if you want your children to have exposure to
many different countries and cultures, then Epcot is the best choice.
We did NOT have enough time to touch every areas
so we do NOT know about other areas. I could not
remember how old your kids are ? That depends on their age,
their interests etc...
Helpful info about which one good for which age groups:

My personal favorite? The Animal Kingdom Lodge. The location is a bit out of the way, but it is a huge favorite. Sited next to the Animal Kingdom, the resort has its own 22-acre savanna where animals like zebra, giraffes, and gazelles run free. Most of the rooms have balconies facing the savanna so you have the thrill of seeing the animals right outside your window at all hours of the day and night. In addition, the huge lobby, which is full of authentic African art, is breathtaking, and the flagship restaurant Jiko offers remarkable cuisine as well as the largest selection of South African wines in the U.S. Even in a company that prides itself on making each resort unique and welcoming, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is a standout.
