For a Disney World trip the honest default is Orlando International (MCO) — it has the deepest schedule, and Disney-bound ground transport is built around it. Orlando Sanford (SFB) is worth a look only if the fare gap is large enough to cover a longer, more expensive transfer to the Disney area; it is farther out and served by far fewer airlines. The usual advice in the Disney world is to ignore Sanford entirely — that is right most of the time, but it is worth checking rather than assuming, especially if you're flying a carrier that only serves SFB.
This is the part fare sites leave out. At a smaller airport like ROC, how often the route flies matters as much as the price. A route that operates a few days a week quietly decides your trip length — you fly when it flies — and if that flight cancels, the next one may not be the same day. If you're booking a short trip, or travelling at a time you cannot flex, that risk is worth paying a little more to avoid, either by flying a bigger nearby airport or by choosing a day with more than one departure.
Southwest does not publish fares to search sites, so it never appears in the numbers above — and it serves a lot of Disney travellers. If it flies your airport, check it directly before booking anything else. Check Southwest ROC → MCO →
