I would probably do MK on Wed, Epcot on Thurs, and MGM on Friday. If possible, save the Space Center for Saturday. Depending on the character meal you want to go to, you could just about throw that in any of the park days

Would that be a good thing to save to the end of the trip?

Your setup seems good to me they way you have it set up already for your dates. After Jan 1. there are low crowds anyway, right? (this question is for other Dis Vets).

Wednesday: Kennedy space and Magic Dinner show
Thurs: Epcot all day
Fri: MK all day
Sat: MGM half day, Cirque at night

This may not work if you arrive late on your 1st day or leave early on your 2nd day. Just stick your character meal in somewhere and your all set.

Well me and my gf are going to Epcot on Thursday Jan. 4th becasue we think it will be the least crowded before we have to go back to school! So maybe Thursday for Epcot ?????

From AllEars:

A recent inquiry of Disney regarding which days to visit which parks had the following response:

"During regular attendance periods, our parks tend to be the busiest on the following days:

Magic Kingdom: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday

Epcot: Tuesday and Friday

Disney-MGM Studios: Sunday and Wednesday

Disney's Animal Kingdom: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday"
