Help with DHS Plans!!

[DisneyWishes14]

Ok, here's my story. DS9 and I fly into MCO on Friday, December 16, landing around 1 pm. We typically don't even go to DHS. We like Star Tours and Toy Story Midway Mania, but aren't huge fans of any of the other rides or attractions. We've pretty much done it all and, unlike the other parks, we have a been-there-done-that feeling with DHS.

HOWEVER! We MUST see Club Villain (yes, Disney, you got us back to DHS. Nice work.) and I thought Jingle BAM would be fun. So here is our current plan:

Friday, December 16
1:00 pm arrive MCO
DME to BWI
FP+ 3:25 pm Star Tours
Dinner at PizzaRizzo
FP+ 5:00 pm Toy Story
6:00 pm Jingle BAM Dessert Party

Saturday, December 17
Day at EP
Head over to DHS for 5 pm Club Villain

So, here's my dilemma. The Jingle BAM reviews weren't great and I don't know if I want to spend $100 on snacks and drinks to see the show. The party looks lovely, but we wouldn't eat or drink enough to justify the cost. If the show were great, yes, I would go for it, but I'm on the fence now.

So, here are the options I'm considering:

#1 Keep things as they are, Jingle BAM dessert pary on Dec. 16, EP and then over to Club Villain on Dec. 17

#2 Ditch Jingle BAM on December 16 and do Club Villain instead. This opens up our whole day on Dec. 17 for EP, however, I'm a little nervous about our 1 pm MCO arrival and getting to Club Villain by 5 pm.

#3 Ditch Jingle BAM on December 16, but KEEP Club Villain on Dec. 17. My only concern is my DS9's park stamina as he usually needs a bit of a break in the afternoon and that will only give us until about 2 pm in EP. I then don't have plans for Dec. 16 as I don't think we will go to DHS.

HELP!

I would go for option #2. If you land on time (or close to it) and you are using DME you should be at BWI by 3:00 - 3:30. Half hour to freshen up, on your way to DHS by 4:00 and safely in the park by 4:30 pm.
