My thoughts on your plans:

For Saturday MK day I'd book that 4th FP+ BEFORE lunch/snack, instead of after the parade.

Sunday TL/AK day - are you sure you have enough time to change/shower before heading to AK?

Tuesday BB day - Yes, pretty sure the water parks rarely open before 10am. Again, are you planning on enough time to change/shower before heading to Disney Springs?

 
My first reaction is that I would add a day on my ticket for that very last day-- unless your flight leaves pretty early. We always love that "last goodbye" round of rides, and the cost at that point is negligible.

And I'm no pro, but here are the FP's we have:


Wednesday, - Magic Kingdom Park-- our flight gets us in at around noon

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 4pm
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin 5:15
Chef Mickeys 6:30
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 7:25 PM - 8:25 PM

Thursday, - Disney's Hollywood Studios

Toy Story Mania! 11:30'
counter service lunch
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue 1:00

Indiana Jones™ Epic Stunt Spectacular!2:30 PM

Friday, - Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Tusker House breakfast/ Jungle book show


DINOSAUR 11:30
Kali River Rapids 1:00 PM
Kilimanjaro Safaris 6:30 PM

Saturday, - Epcot

Spaceship Earth 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Mission: SPACE 11:30 AM
Frozen Ever After - 1:45 PM

Sunday, - Magic Kingdom Park
Space Mountain 10:00 AM
Splash Mountain 12:00 PM
Pirates of the Caribbean 1:15 PM -

Monday, - Epcot
Test Track 9:30 AM
Turtle Talk With Crush 11:20 AM
Mission: SPACE 1:20 PM

Tuesday,- Magic Kingdom Park
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 9:40 AM
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin 11:20 AM
Peter Pan's Flight 1:00 PM

Wednesday, - Epcot
Soarin' 10:35 AM
Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival 12:00 PM
Mission: SPACE 2:00 PM

Then it's back to our resort to catch Disney's Magical Express

We'd love that too, but we have must leave the poly around noon, so we preferred to have a nice long breakfast in Ohana as a goodbye and then might stay in the pool for a bit before we head to the airport :( Plus we're gonna be exhausted! Before Disney we're doing NYC + Disney Dream cruise haha. But thanks for the tip anyway :D And your plan looks great!

Tuesday BB day - Yes, pretty sure the water parks rarely open before 10am. Again, are you planning on enough time to change/shower before heading to Disney Springs?
Thanks for the tips! Ahh you might be right about the time... about TL/AK, if we get ready to leave at 1:30 or so, and head to wait the buses at 2 pm, do you think we'll get to AK around 2:30 so we get to Tusker House at 3? Will that be better?
And... About BB, maybe we do need to plan to start getting ready at 4 so we can really head out 4:30. Nice tip :) thanks!
