With 9 and 5 yr old boys from melbs and I am fanatical about ensuring my boys are entertained as I too have been on the end of a few families full of loud, rude, seat kicking, hair pulling, constant seat changing and whining kids with oblivious parents whom seem to think that this is ok.
I ensure they have movies, music, coloring, a couple of their favorite action figures, iPods/DSs and plenty of food to entertain them. I also let them choose an activity book/magazine at the newsagents at the airport.
They are also told if they behave like anything I mentioned above the pilot will come down and kick them off the plane, and mummy will still be going to Bali!
This seems to work as yes it is a long time for them to be confined they are kids after all. I think you'll be fine considering you are preparing for it, have fun!
