Critique my ADRs. This is a repeat from another board, I posted on the wrong thread.

Background: I'm travelling with DH and my twins, DD5 and DS5. It will be just us for 3 nights, then MIL, FIL, SIL and BIL join us for 4 nights.

This is our first Disney trip, and will be pretty kid-centric. At home the DH, twins and I have great palates, but ILs are less adventurous. We are doing the DDP. We're staying at the Poly. I plan to bring some homemade snacks with us, and we will eat breakfast of oatmeal or cereal for breakfast in the room unless we have breakfast ADRs. We're also eating dinner in the room one night, since we're driving from IL's winter home I'm making some home cooking so we can eat healthy at least once.

I'd love some advice if I've missed something amazing, or if I'm doing too much running around I'd love advice on that too. I'm pretty laid back and happy to go at the kids' pace this trip. Please also red flag any places I should skip in favor of something better. We are all willing to pay OOP for meals if we run out of credits.

I make ADRs on Sunday.

I've built this list off of amazing reviews and advice from all you DISeaters, so I can't wait to hear what you all think. This has seriously been hours in the planning!

Friday - Arrive then HS
Snack: Starring Rolls
Lunch QS: Starring rolls or wherever is closest. I understand that the QS at HS is icky no matter where we go. Know what is frustrating? The kids menu at each QS includes only chicken nuggets and PBJ. My DS is allergic to PB. Why do they dumb down these kids menus so much? My kids lke FOOD, not frozen food-like-substances. Okay, rant over.
Dinner TS at Chef Mickey's

Saturday:
Bfast: TS at Tusker House
Snack: Dinobites for kids, Jalapeno pretzel for DH, regular pretzel for me
Skip lunch (should be full from big breakfast and snack)
Snack in room after nap
Dinner: QS in EP. DH in Morocco, Me in France, Kids in either.

Sunday:
Bfast in room
Snack in MK
Lunch: TS at Whispering Canyon
Dinner: eat in room

Monday:
Bfast in room
Lunch: TS at Coral Reef
Dinner: QS in EP/MK/Poly

Tuesday:
Bfast in room
Snack in MK
Lunch: TS(2) at CRT
Dinner: QS at Capn Cooks at Poly

Wednesday:
Bfast: TS at Hollywood and Vine --I waver on this one. We needed to use up one more credit before we go, wanted to leave Thursday wide open schedule wise for everyone to pick their favorite thing to do again. So, this puts us in the park before RD and gives a decent meal. The down-side is that my kids barely watch TV and have to do "homework" for the next 6 months by watching these Disney Jr. shows so they know who these characters are.
Snack at HS
Lunch: skip
Dinner: QS at MK. We're staking out a parade spot near Casey's so we might eat there, or venture off to another QS (suggestions?) in groups.

Thursday
Wide open. We'll probably eat only QS so we can be anywhere we want any time we want.

Thank you in advance everyone! Please stop me from making any fatal errors, LOL.

On the Restaurants board we decided (we being me and my panel of valued advisors) to skip the Saturday Epcot trek and just chill at Poly and eat at Ohana. Which puts one TS meal OOP, which is fine. Which one? I've gotta do the math for that, LOL.

I thought I would put this on the correct board and see what people think!

Thanks in advance.
