The Revolutionary City sounds like a blast to me, regardless of whether you go with the summer saver package. It's a two hour event and, as the official site says, it is "family-friendly, live, dramatic program that breaks the boundaries of traditional living history experiences".

You might also consider Haunted Dinner Theatre, which features a buffet (great if your kids are picky eaters). The show, dubbed "Ghostbashers", is a spoof of the movie Ghostbusters. I loved Ghostbusters when I was a kid, and I still find it funny as an adult. The prices for the show are:
Adult: $44.50 ($4 online discount)
12&under: $28.95
4&under: Free

There is an interactive map of the Williamsburg at http://www.history.org/visit/tourTheTown/flash.cfm. On the right, click "Take a Tour" and the options will show you locations that are of interest to children, museums, dining, etc.

This tripadvisor website has everything you ask for. They have well-used forums that talk about each destination and the hotels/resorts in it. Just follow that link and look to the left sidebar all of those things (things to do, forums, etc). It is a little cluttered with adds unfortunately, but the amount of, and quality of information available isn't matched anywhere else that I've seen. I use it to plan all of my vacations and my wife has been pleased each time.

Hi, Thanks for your answer, I've done some research on tripadvisor but was looking for responses here (on MA) with specific suggestions or unique links beyond some of the more typical trip planning sites. Thanks again. If you have anything you wish to add to improve your answer, feel free. Thanks again.
