1. That's all there is. The Disney parks are located at different parts of Orlando. You will have to drive to them unless you're using Disney transportation, their buses and trains. All of them are good for all ages, but the Magic Kingdom is more towards kids entertainments theme. It is a lot of Mikey Mouse and Donald Duck....Peter Pan..... Sea world has Kraken. Kraken is a steel floor less roller coaster that kids can not get on/ allowed and it is very scary.
2. Walt Disneyworld consists of four individual theme parks, each takes a separated ticket unless you get the parkhopper option, two water parks, and Downtown Disney. Each park takes at least one day to do, more if you are there in a busy time, and the water parks are about half a day, depending on how tanned you are and how much you like the water and slides. For a free site that has much more info. Go to tripadvisor.com, the Orlando forum for great Disney tips, links to discounts on some Orlando things, and great reviews of all the parks. Have fun.
3. (ALL parks in orlando are good for ALL ages) disney world: theme parks -magic kingdom -epcot -hollywood studios -animal kingdom water parks -blizzard beach -typhoon lagoon downtown disney universal orlando: theme parks -universal studios -universal islands of adventure water park -wet n wild universal city walk theme park -sea world water park -aquatica discovery cove (swimming with dolphins) plus there is busch gardens but that is tampa bay. (about 90 minutes from orlando)
4. Disney has Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot. All of their parks truly cater to all ages. That being said, Magic Kingdom caters most to young kids, and I would say that Epcot is geared the most towards older kids and adults. Personally, I love all of them except for Animal Kingdom because it is too much like going to a zoo, which is not what I am looking for at Disney. You need a day or two at Magic, and then about a day at the other parks. Possibly two days at Epcot if you get into exploring the World Showcase. Universal has Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Both cater to older kids and adults, mostly. They both have a kiddie area, but most stuff is for older. Islands is the place to go if you love roller coasters. You only need a day per park. And there is also Sea World, which can easily be done in one day. I would highly suggest checking this website out: http://www.allearsnet.com It is designed for Disney planning but has info on the other parks as well. It will give you a better idea of what is at each park so you can decide which ones will appeal most to your group.
