Hi all,
I posted this in the Theme Parks board, but realized shortly after that this is the right place to post such questions... so here it goes, I am a HUGE planner when it comes to WDW trips, however, this being my first trip during free dining it only makes the planning become all the more necessary.
So what I am looking for is a bit of confidence in my choices for dining anf touring during this latest trip to the world. I will be traveling December 9th until the 14th, and here are my plans for both touring and dining, please let me know, your thoughts, opinions, and problems with it:

December 9th: Arrival
Touring Plan: Miniature Golf, and Downtown Disney
Dinner: The Wave Rest.

December 10th: Epcot, EMH until 1230a, CP with WHOPPI!!
Touring Plan: Epcot
Breakfast: Cape May Cafe
Dinner: Coral Reef

December 11th: **This seems to be a problematic day, I am thinking that we may be able to do AK, and DHS the same day, but I am traveling with a WDW newbie, so I am wondering if it could be done***
Touring Plan A: AK (am), DHS (pm)
Touring Plan B: DHS
Breakfast: Boma
Dinner: Citricos, if touring plan B will be Hollywood Brown Derby

December 12th: Stuck between making it an entire MK day including the MVMCP or just the MVMCP, this would be another question I am posing forth to you all... is it worth it to pay for MVMCP as well as use a day ticket for the same theme park?
Touring Plan A: MVMCP
Touring Plan B: MK and MVMCP
Breakfast: Kona Cafe
Dinner: Yachtsman Steakhouse

December 13th: Free day!
I was thinking a pool/shopping day with an evening at DTD.
Breakfast: Grand Floridian Cafe
Dinner: Wolfgang Puck's Dining Room

December 14th: Departure Day
Breakfast: Olivia's Cafe

If you guys could help me with this, this way I can change reservations if necessary it would be a HUGE help!
Thanks again in advance for all your help!
 
I'm not an expert but, I'd do just DHS on Dec. 11. I'd skip Boma for breakfast on Dec. 11 unless you happen to be staying at AKL. I would do AK on Dec. 12th before the party or move your free day to Dec. 12th (relax before the party) and do your AKL day on Dec. 13th (and move your Boma breakfast to Dec 13th). If you do AK on the day of the party, I'd skip Kona for breakfast.

No way would I want to do MK, then Yachtsman for dinner, then back to MK for the party. It's too much shuttling around.

Where are you staying? You have a lot of breakfasts at a lot of different resorts. This is coming from a non-breakfast person, but do you really want to rush around that much so early in the morning?

Anyway this is what I would do:
December 9th: Arrival
Touring Plan: Miniature Golf, and Downtown Disney
Dinner: The Wave Rest.

December 10th: Epcot, EMH until 1230a, CP with WHOPPI!!
Touring Plan: Epcot
Breakfast: Akershus
Dinner: Coral Reef

December 11th:
Touring Plan B: DHS
Breakfast: Cape May Cafe
Dinner: Hollywood Brown Derby

December 12th:
Just MVMCP
Breakfast: Kona Cafe
Dinner: Early ADR at Citricos, Narcoosees, or California Grill (you don't want to waste party time at a restaurant)

December 13th:
AK, evening at DTD
Breakfast: Boma or Tusker House
Dinner: Wolfgang Puck's Dining Room

December 14th: Departure Day
Breakfast: Olivia's Cafe
 
Thank you so much for answering. I am staying at the WL, and because of us staying under the Deluxe Dining Plan, I feel as though it would be advantageous to dine at some of the signature rest. as well as enjoy some of the resorts during the holidays, but what you says makes so much sense. I have to go online and see whats available as of late.
