I made our Dec 2018 ADR plans (listed for review); how do I know which order to book them at 180?

Coming up on my 180 days for our 12/4-12/8 trip at a FW cabin. It's DH, myself and our two toddlers (ages 2 & 4). Our kids are morning people. We have a rental car. Here is my ADR plan so far:

Tuesday 12/4: Arrival late afternoon. Dinner at FW either at Camp Fire Sing a' long Food truck or P&J's Southern take out.
Wednesday 12/5: AK day; arrive at opening. QS for breakfast and lunch with an afternoon nap break. Then come back to the park for an early Tusker House dinner and some AK touring afterwards.
Thursday: 12/6 Crystal Palace PPO at hopefully 8AM. Was gonna book at BOG lunch in case we wanna go but I am unsure if that fits our plan. Was thinking I could always cancel later. This is a MVMCP day so we'll stay as late as our toddlers can go (prob 2-3pm) and head back to FW for P&J's Southern Takeout again; or maybe Trail's End?
Friday: MK has EMH in the AM. So RD those then maybe early BOG lunch? Would only do BOG lunch once, but for booking purposes was thinking of booking for Thurs & Fri until we work out plans. We have comp hopper tickets for this day, so we were gonna take a park break for naps and then hop to Epcot for early Garden Grill dinner.
Saturday: Departure day- Chef Mickey's. Kids love the Fab 5 and we kinda loved Chef Mickey's breakfast last time though I know it has a lot of negative reviews.

Okay so when my 180 day comes, how do I know which days to book first when it comes to reservation? I really want to CP PPO so should I do that one first? This is my first time booking our dining reservations since we had a TA the past two times. Thank you for any help/advice!

I would do:

CP PPO
CM
BOG lunch
Garden Grill
Trail's End

I think that's all you listed. There are only 5 of them so not a huge deal to the order. Any PPO will be tougher than the rest, plus it's earlier in your trip so for that reason I'd get that one out of the way first. The middle 3 are really interchangeable and I would order them by how important they are to you. Trail's End will not be an issue at all, so leave that to last.

Ok thank you; maybe I should have added that at our FW trip last time I had no problem with availability at Trail’s End the day before so I can plan on that one last for sure.

Where would you recommend our Tusker house dinner go in that order?

After Garden Grill. I've never had any issues getting TH at 180 days out.
