It will probably be slammed that day. I believe the week in between Christmas and New Year's is just busy at every park.

Your plan doesn't look bad. Be sure to make a dinner ADR as soon as possible.

Just be ready for large crowds and if you are, you can still have a good time.

Are you sure Mission Space is open for Epcot morning EMHs? I thought I had read sometime recently it had been taken off the morning list, but I'm not sure about this.

Mission Space is not included in morning EMH, but Spaceship Earth and Living with the Land are, so you may want to switch out one of those FP+ for Mission Space. That's a lot of criss-crossing FW in the morning. I think I would try to rearrange it so you aren't walking back and forth so much. Yes, it will be crowded, especially in WS at night (the lines for CP create huge crowds in the America/Japan area)

 

[Hopefully]

I agree with PP. It will be very crowded. Even lines for Rest Rooms will be long, so don't wait til the last minute to decide to get in line.
I also suggest you plan less criss crossing of FW in the morning. It is a lot of walking and time wasting.
Good Luck

Why not first do single rider for test track and do soarin?

 

[MaxineDisney]

Because Soarin is important to both of us and I know my dd can get on TT fast on the single rider line with no wait during EMH

That I get, but you will lose time going from one side to the park to the other and then back again. I understand you want to start with a ride for you both, but it is more efficient to do test track first.
