I see you need easy.
Things to do:
- Get a CW/Historic Triangle Ticket.  Park at the Visitors Center.  The busses are easy. Leave half a day for Yorktown, half a day for Jamestown Settlement: https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/tickets/americas-historic-triangle-ticket/
- Lean into the free and "reservation" events in Colonial Williamsburg.  Fife in a parade, make a candle.  Read ahead with your kids so they understand all the historical context. The interpreters are great at answering inquiring minds. 
- Make a reservation now for Kings Arms, Christiana Campbells, etc.  My kids loved the "fancy" dinner.  Cheaper than most meals for 5 in DC.
- Use the Great Wolf Lodge coupon codes to stay 2 nights there, and spend the other 3+ nights at Kingsmill.  Your kids are prime waterslide age but not prime cheesy GWL age so two nights should be an excellent adventure.
- Eat at least one lunch at Cheese shoppe.  You will feel goofy waiting in line, do it.  Get extra house dressing.
- Indulge in cheese fries and the sub of your choosing (I recommend the hot holly) at Pauls or College or Greenleaf.  Former likely more accessible.  Ordering feels weird.  Go with it. Get ranch and bacon for those fries.
- Knock around on the William and Mary campus.  It's gorgeous.  Visit the Wren Building. Cross the Crim Dell if you care.  My kids loved the Matoaka amphitheater.
- Check a burg box and eat at Sals and Colonial Pancake house.  Your kids will love both. Let them order the chocolate chip pancakes.
- With kids your age, keep Busch Gardens in the mix.  I'm not sure their 2024 deals are all out, but check here: https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/vacation-packages/  You should be able at some point to combine your 7 day historic and amusement park deal into something.
- There's a small food and beer hall with tons of arcade games at Merchant Square called Precarious Beer Project.  Have lunch there one of your CW days.

Yes yes this person knows the burg!

When you go to Jamestown settlement colonial Parkway begins just a little bit towards the left, drive down colonial Parkway and there are a little pull offs but you want to wait and take the first pull off that is on the LEFT. Cross the street and there’s a little sandy beach on the river, it’s gonna be chilly, but the kids don’t care.[/quote]
