Best Row of 4 Economy Seats LGW to MCO VSO27/8

Hi, I'm looking for some advice pls on a recommended row of 4 seats in Economy LGW to MCO. We are taking two children aged 2 and 4 - should be fun! ;) Originally thought row 65 may be good - no-one behind us for the kids to entertain(!)and next to rows of 2 (quieter?)and exits so bit of room to move about, but I see these are viewed as the worst on the plane re: queues for the toilet, and turbulence... Can I ask, do these seats have the usual amount of recline or is it restricted? And do all the arm rests lift in this row?
Would also welcome thoughts on row 37 and if same applies?
The other good option might be bagging two rows of the `two's at the back of the plane so the children can stand up by the window in that space, but I guess thats very unlikely - are they only released on the day with additional fees?
Would welcome any tips, thank you :D

welcome to v-flyer

sorry i cant fully answer your questions but i would not choose the back row of a 747 as there will be ques for the toilets at various points in the flight. on the return night flight it may not not be too bad.

the 2's by the back windows may be available if you log on to manage my booking on the VS site or by calling VS or your travel agent. There may be fees if they are extra leg room seats.

another option would be row 23 with the main door and galley behind you there is enough room to move around and being in front of the wings it will be slightly quieter as the engines are behind you, and if you do have turbulence it is a bit smoother on the front of the wing.

there are ratings for seats on this site if you look under toolbox at the top. select 747-400 version 1 or 2 fly from LGW & MAN

I wouldn't worry too much about your kids in economy. This route is all about the kids really, especially around school holiday times. There will be plenty of other children on the plane - probably all over it!
