Would you say this is quite a risky connection? Next AA flight to MCO is an additional 3:45 so don't want to miss with 2 kids becoming tired and grumpy!
Is the AA flight on the same ticket as the BA flight? If so, I'd probably risk it. There are plenty of ways to get to MCO from ORD (and basically everywhere else). If you and spouse are OW Sapphire, you'll have access to the Flagship Lounge in the event of a missed connection.
I assume you're flying into ORD instead of MIA because the schedule and/or price is better? If it were me, I'd try to fly into CLT or MIA because they'll have better frequencies to MCO. And they are also less affected by weather and traffic than ORD.
