FP day is coming up. Please help me plan which park which day.

Background
Cast: me and DD age 4. No one for RS, so any tall height requirements are out (Space, FoP, RnR, EE, PW). Super fast, jerky, or high drops are probably not great (plan to skip TT, Splash, ToT, Dinosaur). DD is game to try smoother coasters (SDD, 7DMT), and likes spinning type rides, as well as traditional kiddie rides. She will probably be okay with "scary" rides (HM, RotR, PotC). She has never done a character meet, but is very excited to meet the "real" characters. Definitely want to do some meets, but not planning any character dining (budget). I have been to WDW several times, and done everything except for the SW rides, and am hoping to do them this trip, especially RotR.

7 park days May 13-19, staying onsite. Base tickets, not upgrading to hoppers. Arrival day is my only late start; flight scheduled to get to MCO a bit before 8am.

Preliminary Plan
Wed 5/13 - MK. FP Pooh, Buzz, HM (if there's availability, I'll try for7DMT or PPF, but probably a long shot)
Thurs 5/14 - Epcot, morning EMH. FP FEA, SE, LwtL. Rope drop meeting Anna and Elsa. Rope Drop WS opening for more character meets.
Fri 5/16 - HS try for RotR BG. FP MMRR, TSMM, AS2. Rope drop SDD Refresh or SB for Start Tours to prepare for RotR. Night show F!
Sat 5/17 - MK really questioning going to MK on a Saturday, but it's the halfway point of our trip, and it seems like the "best" park for DD.
Sun 5/17 - HS day 2 with evening EMH; try for RotR BG. FP MFSR, TSMM, AS2. RD MMRR. SW fireworks.
Monday 5/18 - AK morning EMH; FP NRJ, Safari, Meet Minnie and Mickey; RD NRJ and then up to Safari (I always like to ride this twice). See FOTKL and Nemo Shows. Watch animals. Play in boneyard
Tuesday 5/19 - MK day 3; PPO at BOG.

Thoughts on day distributions and order? Should I do 2 days at Epcot? Drop one of the MK days? I could probably do everything I really NEED to do at HS in one day, especially if I did it on Sunday with EMH, but that means only one chance to score a BG, and I really would like to ride RotR.

If you made it this far, thank you!
 
The only thing I would switch up is HS 5/15 I'd go for MFSR and HS 5/17 I'd go for MMRR. That seems to be running out well before MFSR and SDD.
Also, remember Ratatouille will be open and *maybe* Space 220

ETA: I'd definitely do 2 days if possible, any park. Since you have a DD 4, we love mid day breaks or swims.
