Okay, we'll be there April 14-18 too!
A few answers...
Princess fantasy faire is up in the theatre just to the left of the entrance to Toon Town. Not sure if we'll do that. I think we'll go to Ariel's grotto to give dear daughter her princess fix.
Yes, you can do EE and MTMM on days when they are both offered. I'm sorry, I forget which days are which but we did do both on a single day back in September. It works well. In MTMM find a spot right in front of the Town Hall entrance as that's where the show is based. Then, make a beeline for any characters houses you want to see. This is the best time as the lines are shorter and the characters are right out front.
I have used single rider lines for Splash Mountain and California Soarin'. There are probably others but those are my favourite rides and so I use those often.
That's my 2 cents worth.
I'm sure you'll get lots more help!

Looks like you have a good plan. In general DCA does not have as much to do for young children as DL. Just remember that it is easy to park hop. I suspect if you do the early shows at DCA on your final day you will want to hop to DL at lunch because there will be more there to interest your kids.
