How do my park reservation days sound?

We will be at WDW from Saturday, June 11th to Saturday, June 18th. Our family is me, dh, 18 yo ds, and 14 yo dd. We land at MCO at 11:10 and will head to POR before going to MK for the rest of the day. The next day (Sunday) I have Epcot reserved. On Monday we have DHS reserved. Then Tuesday is scheduled to be our "resort/Disney Springs" day. On Wednesday I have AK reserved. Thursday will be a full day at MK and Friday is Epcot again. I have MK scheduled on our going home day before our 4:15 flight back home. Does that sound like enough time at MK? I usually schedule two days there, but that didn't happen with this trip, I guess because this is our first time scheduling a resort day. Do I have the resort day in the right place, or should I move it to later in the week?

That sounds like an awesome trip. The amount of time you have in MK really will depend on what you want to do. I think two partial days and one full day is a good amount of time. Your kids are teens like mine and we usually devote at least one full day at MK at a minimum so any time over a day is a bonus for us. We don't really do parades or any entertainment at MK, mostly rides, eating and shopping for us.

If it were my trip, I would maybe switch up Epcot only because weekends do sometimes get clogged with the festivals but it's not a deal breaker in June. You could swap your Sunday Epcot with Wednesday AK since AK is typically not as crowded on weekends as the other parks.

As far as your resort day, it just depends on your travel style. We tend to hit parks early in summer months, leave the park midday and return later so we're not really in need of a break day early in a longer trip. The last week plus long trip we did, I put our resort day towards the end of our week when we only had two days left. If you are at the parks all day, having your resort/Disney springs day on Tuesday may be much needed.

So I could change AK to Sunday, Epcot to Monday, DHS to Tuesday, and resort day on Wednesday?

You could do that or keep your schedule as it is or keep your schedule as is and just move Epcot to Wednesday and AK to Sunday, that may be less of a kink in your plans. Again, keeping Epcot on Sunday isn't a deal breaker, but I do think crowds tend to be more significant on weekends at Epcot than at AK.
