Bill,
Just thought I would try and reply a tip for your upcoming trip since you have provided so much for disney world.
We live about 35 minutes away from Great America so we practically live there with our season passes. We sometimes get our heat wave in September when the kids go back to school but it is usually good weather in Santa Clara. Great America is only open on weekends in September. The Nick Cafe is a good place to eat with pizza, roast beef, hamburgers and you can sit inside and watch nick cartoons all around you. If your party needs to rest then try the kids lost and found room inside of the kidsville. It is used as a changing room, feeding room, lost and found room, and they have water and a microwave in there.
I am not sure if you had this theme park also available for you but there is a theme park called Gilroy Gardens which is 30 minutes away from Great America and they are both bought by the same company but this theme park is REALLY beautiful! Your 5 year old daughter would LOVE it. It is geared towards kids 12 and under they say. If you could fit that park in then it would be well worth it. We like Gilroy Gardens better than Great America but we have a 4 and 6 year old but if we had a teenager then we would choose Great America.
Ok, enough of my long post here. Hope this helps a little.
