Driving myself crazy trying to plan! Help please! :)

Ok, so we were originally going to head to the World Oct. 11-18, I had made my ADR's, but then we were having trouble finding decent (and cheaper) flights, so we switched our trip to the 13-20. SO, we are only losing one reservation we had made for Sunday night. The rest will be fine, but it's leaving me to have to re-work my itinerary. Here's what I'm working with, need experienced help! I have been sevearl times, but need some input. OH, and we are a family of 4, (2 daughters, ages 11 and 6). We are staying at POR in a Royal Room.
Anyways:

10/13: arrive around 12:45, head to resort, spend the afternoon swimming, exploring, chilling, head to DTD for the evening, dinner reservation at Bongo's.
10/14: AK day, pre-RD TH reservation, then Boma reservation for dinner. After that, either park hop (if we get them) to MK for the rest of the night, or just head back to resort, swim, chill.
10/15: Ohana breakfast, then right now we're thinking EP...so we can enjoy the F&W festival on a non-weekend day. No dinner plans yet.
10/16: CM breakfast, then head back to the resort to relax and enjoy the day, head to MNSSHP at 4:00.
10/17: not sure....thinking if we need more EP time, this would be the day....or possibly HS....Ohana dinner
10/18: This would be our only available ALL day MK day due to MNSSHP nights and such...
10/19: either HS....or something else, just not sure.

So, here are my questions....do I want a park hopper? I am thinking yes, simply because some of our plans are still up in the air, and want freedom to change our minds mid-day.

How are MNSSHP crowds on Sunday? Are they still lower? Because a possibility is switching our party day to Sunday, so that we can do a full day MK day on Tuesday, and hit EP on Thursday....I am just having a hard time thinking that we'll be there on Monday and I have to wait all the way till SATURDAY for my full MK day....What would you do? Thursday or Sunday?

Thanks for any help. I keep double and triple guessing myself. LOL!

Looks good - I always like the flexibility to park hop!

On 10/15 when you have Ohana for breakfast and then heading to Epcot for F&W - you say no dinner ADRs yet - I wouldn't make any - you will eat your way around World Showcase and most likely won't need dinner!

Have fun!

You can always upgrade to hoppers once you're there and decide to hop. If it doesn't come up, you can save the $$$. Every time we've bought hoppers ahead of time, we hardly used them ....
