You're kind of spreading yourself thin here. What time do you expect to arrive? We usually fly from NY and arrive at Orlando International around 9:30am. Even when everything moves well, we don't get TO the resort until 12pm. Assuming your room is ready, then you need to unload everything and head out. I guess if you're driving it's not so bad. If the room is ready, you can drop off your stuff and head over. If it's not, you'll just keep your luggage in the car? Have you considered online check-in? Frankly, I'd just check-in, relax a little, then head over to DHS for the dessert party. Maybe change your FP+ to DHS for later that evening.

8/29 - Magic Kingdom rope drop

Again, this sounds like a lot of moving around... BUT, I can't say we haven't done something similar. I'd ditch the second BOG ressie. You're cutting yourself way too thin. How long do you expect to rest at the resort? Let's just say you get back for 4-4:30. To make it back for Wishes, you're gonna have to leave at 6pm. Even then you're cutting it close. If I were you, I'd head to one of the monorail resorts and grab a QS dinner. Relax around the lobby or walk the grounds then head back to MK.

8/30 - Hollywood Studios rope drop
Ride RnRC immediately
Toy Story Mania FP 9:45
Star Tours FP 11
Mama Melrose Fantasmic package 11:30
Tower of Terror FP 12:50
Back to hotel until return for Fantasmic

No complaints. This is a solid day. It's a long day, but it's solid.

8/31 - Typhoon Lagoon rope drop
Back to hotel to clean up
Animal Kingdom evening
Expedition Everest FP 6:50
Kilimanjaro Safari FP 8:15
Jungle Book FP 9:55

Again, no complaints. I would recommend double checking AK hours. I've heard that they plan on reducing them soon.

9/1 - Epcot rope drop
Test Track FP 10:10
Nemo FP 11:10
Imagination FP 12:10
Explore some countries, maybe Disney Springs

This works. Definitely recommend eating around the world. Maybe do a late dinner at DS.

9/2 - Sleep in, DisneyQuest
Magic Kingdom 4pm for MNSSHP
BOG Dinner 4:50pm

Just sleep in. Do Disney Quest on 9/1 maybe? It's gonna be a long night—I'd recommend sleeping in, relaxing around the resort then heading to MK.

9/3 - Epcot
Living with the Land FP 9:35
Epcot Character Spot FP 10:40
Frozen Ever After FP 11:40
Explore, back to hotel to rest
Dinner at San Angel Inn at 7:30
Illuminations

Looks good.

I'd ditch the BOG breakfast ressie on 8/29. 9-10am is a great time to hit the rides. Keep the lunch ressie, as the park will be getting more crowded by that time.
