THIS. you have 10 and 14 year olds. You didn't say if they were boys or girls but if they're boys they would probably prefer Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios more imo. At this point I think the magic kingdom is more for young girls that want to be a princess personally. Took my two boys there when they were like 7 and 9 and they thought it was lame. Epcot is about worthless, Animal Kingdom is the best park they got. Side note, you get the free fast passes for universal/ islands of adventure if you stay at Hard Rock, Lowes royal pacific or Lowes portofino (My favorite).
However, the best advice in this thread is to not go in the summer. I get that its really not an option a lot of times for the people that don't live here but trust me, it is just insanely stupid hot at these parks from now until september/ October. The lines are also ridiculous. I live about 80 minutes south east and the heat index has been over 100 here the last 3 days, and I'm by the ocean so we get more of a breeze then Orlando does.
Drew have you been to Universal Studios?
Not to say your kids wont enjoy Disney, but they are at the age in which Universal might be more fitting.
As others mentioned, because of the heat, you want to spend most of your time there in the mornings, and evenings/nights.

Did you plan a Disney package where you are bound to doing disney things or just going to Orlando and gonna do a little of this and a little of that? Also, what are your kids into? Rides? Attractions?
I've easily spent 100 nites in Orlando over the past 10 years doing the "tourist" thing with the family.
The people on this thread are correct about being outside is hot as shit. However when you are inside a ride/attraction/show, the temperature feels real nice!!
Wherever you go, bring a shitload of water with you (find a publix near by or a warehouse store if you have a membership) and buy plenty of water. Paying $3.50 a pop at the park isnt fun!!
