Help rearrange plans please!

So I am 33 days out and thought everything was set. Last night when talking to DD5, I realize her main focus is BBB and REALLY wants to do it early in the trip (so she can still wear the clips and sparkles for days). Right now it is scheduled for day 5 out of 6 and if I don't at least try to move it up, it will be a focus for her. When would you try to schedule in the first 3 days? We have hoppers, no ADRs (DS doesn't sit still, thus all the swimming) and would definitely prefer the castle. (I also welcome all additional critiques/recommendations).

Wed
Arrive 11am, MDE to BC. Drop off stuff/check out pool.
MK - FP+: 3:05 PP, 4:10 7DMT, 5:20 TM/Meet princesses. Only other goals are to do pirate adventure and HEA

Thur
Epcot - EHM - FP+: 9:30 TurtleTalk, 10:30 SE, 11:30 TT/FEA
Return to Storm along for ~4 hrs, then walk around WS/AgentP or check out TS at night

Fri
Checkout of BS, transfer luggage for CBR
RD HS - TMM and characters. Maybe sign DS8 for Jedi?
Noon - break, check out CBR/swim
AK - FP+: 3:30 EE/Characters, 4:40 KRR, 5:45 FOP

Sat
HS - FP+: 9:30 SDD, 10:30 RR, 11:30 ToT/Dance party

Sun
MK - FP+: 9:30 SM/Buzz, 10:55 7DMT, 11:55 Splash, original BBB 2:00

Mon
AK - FP+: FOP 9:30, rest of the day "free" (4 parks???)

Thanks for any input (I know it can be difficult to get BBB, but have had good luck in the past with persistent calling).

I'm not sure which FP+ you have as your third for Epcot, TT or FEA? I think if you can get in Thursday morning that would be ideal. TurtleTalk definitely doesn't need a FP+ pretty much ever. SE may need one, but it's super easy to modify the time for that, so you can do it later. So maybe do BBB in the morning and get to Epcot before your FP+ for TT/FEA.

I'm wondering how BBB will do with all the swimming? My dd was too old by the time they started it, so we've never tried it. If it holds up, I'd go for your first day! If it's not recommended - I'd stick with what you have.

Hmmm, that is one option the 3rd FP is splitting the group, TT for DS and FEA for DD. We were hoping to RD Soaring on Tuesday but could look for same day.

I wouldn't change my park calendar until I knew I had a BBB appt in hand. You sound like you have done the costume and hair makeover before so guessing you know about the other salons like Ivy Trellis @ GF and "The Character Couture" which is available for adults and children.

I think I'd try to schedule it for your first day. You are going to be at MK anyway. I think I would try to schedule it for around 5 or 5:30. See if you can move your fp to meet the princesses a little later. Then she is all princessed up for her princess meet and greet ;0)

Or buy some different clips and sparkley stuff that she can wear before she has the makeover at the beginning of the trip... Just a thought.

I agree with the suggestion of trying to do it on your first evening in MK. You could also do it after your first morning in EP if you have park hoppers. I wouldn't rearrange your schedule until you know if/when you can switch your time.

Thanks Everyone! I was able to switch to the first night, and on my first call attempt
