Are there any good ones around kissimmee, all we can find is some with one slide and a swing!
Turkey Lake State Park is a definite favourite of ours, not too far and lots to see and do and great for a wander. Here's a guide to it: http://www.orlandovillarentals.com/orlando_guide/turkey-lake-park.aspx
Another really good option, although a bit further away, is Fort Christmas - here's a guide for it: http://www.orlandovillas.com/florida_guide/fort-christmas-4.aspx , It might be of slightly less interest to wee ones, though.
A final thought is down by the waterfront in Kissimmee at Lake Kissimmee, I am 99.99% sure there is a park area there that we've visited.

I was going to suggest Kissimmee Lake Front Park, in the summer there is also a splash pool too cool off. the play equipment is under shelter so good for wet or dry days.

Some villa communities have a children's play area - so check with the owner of the villa you're staying in.
Lake Eva Park in Haines City has lots of swings, slides and climbing things. It also has a water park which is open from April to November. Friday night is "Movies in the Park" night. My grandchildren aged 6 and 8 loved it! There was also an area suitable for younger children.
It might be a bit further than you planned to travel though.
Think there is a play area in Celebration but not 100% sure, but I know someone will be able to remember. There is the water fountain that children play in for hours.
