Can someone help me decide?

I'm getting confused by my own itinerary.
The last two days we're at Disney, we'll be staying at SSR resort, checking in hopefully early (just back from cruise), or at least leaving our bags and doing some fun stuff around the resort and maybe DTD. So I'm not sure what will work better for our overall itinerary. Here's what it looks like now:

Day One:
Check into SSR
Play at resort, swim, DTD
1900 PF 4:30 for dinner, then over to DHS just to see Osborne Lights.

Day Two:
Breakfast at CP, spend day in MK (our last day )
Dinner at 6:40 at LTT
DTD (maybe, if we're not too tired) for souvenirs

Day Three:
GF for Pirate cruise w/little kids, older kids rent Sea Raycers
Leave by 1:00 pm for airport

Here's my biggest dilemma. I really want to see Wilderness Lodge decked out for Christmas, but I can't seem to squeeze it in. My other option is to do dinner at WCC on our first day instead of 1900 PF (5:25 reservation), then go see the lights; cancel the LTT dinner on our next evening and go instead after leaving MK to 1900 PF (8:20 pm reservation). Of course, this puts us getting back to SSR a lot later that last night, so I'm not too sure. It would also prevent us from being able to go into DTD that last night.
So....what's the best plan? We do have a rental car we'll be driving, if that makes a difference.
TIA for any help!!

You're doing a lot of moving around from place to place. That wastes time, which you don't have.

On Day One, if I were you I would have dinner at DHS. Skip 1900 PF and DTD that day. You already have a character meal at CP.

On Day Two, why don't you schedule dinner at WCC? It's just a short boat ride over from the MK.

On Day Three, I would go to DTD and buy souvenirs and have a nice lunch.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope it's magical!

I agree that it is too much running around. You might have to skip a thing or two for sanity's sake.

I'm not sure what your dates are or ages in your travel party, but if it were my family I'd want the character meals.
Day 1 - I think you should head directly to DHS (you'll have pool time on the cruise right? I'd soak in as much park time as I could get). Hit some rides, meet some characters, do a dinner there -maybe 50's PTC or SciFi, then be there when Osbourne Lights switch on at 6pm!

Day 2 - CP Breakfast (maybe before park opening if you can)
MK
1900 PF dinner (keep trying for an earlier time)

Day 3 - DTD

If it were me, I wouldn't try to do the cruise/sea rays on a travel day. You will need to pack and check out of the room. go wherever you decide to go then get back BY 1pm to head to airport.

HTH!
