We're in a similar situation, though an 8 pm flight. Showing up to the airport 7-8 hours before your flight is just a way to end your trip on a down-note.
We're renting a car so we've got flexibility. For a family of 4, it's not necessarily more expensive. We're planning a leisurely departure (not quite being "told" to leave the boat and definitely before being "ordered" to leave) and likely heading to Disney Springs for the late morning, lunch and most of the afternoon. We are also considering before-the-cruise one of Disney's miniature golf courses before heading to Cocoa Beach for the night before.
There's lots of things to do in Orlando that you should be able to find something fun to do. Renting a car gives you a place to store your luggage and get to something more fun than hanging out in the terminal for possibly six hours before your flight. With your age of kids, maybe go to Chef Mickeys for lunch (if you can get a reservation) before heading to the airport.
