We're travelling end of June, busy, hot 
Currently our schedule looks like this:
Day 1:
MK: Pirates League at 9:15, Pirates & Pals cruise that night (going with a Pirates themed day). Our plan was to stay until about 4:00, head back to our house, have supper, a swim, then head back to Contemporary for our cruise. However, by the time we do the Pirates League, it'll be about 10:00 before we start rides etc... By the time we take a lunch, we're only going to have about 5 hours. Needless to say, definitely not much when you look at the things we want to do.
I'm wondering the following options:
-Arrive around 11 or 12 and then stay till 8ish, taking the monorail over to Contemporary. This would give us some extra time. Also, we could switch the Pirates League to later afternoon, and then that way when they go on the cruise, they'd still be Pirates (otherwise it'll have gotten washed off in the after-supper swim). Between our FP+ and DAS, would the waits really be that bad?
-The other option is, switch our Pirates Cruise. We could stay in park from 9-6, and do the Pirates cruise the next night, after Sea World. This might work since we weren't planning to hit HS the next day until noon. But... it kind of takes away from the whole point of a "pirate day".
-Or, we could leave it as is, but do yu think the following is possible? We'll have 4 FP+ for sure (inlaws are forfeiting theirs for the kids), as well as a DAS card:
Pirates League at 9:15
Pirate Tutorial at 10:25
Pirate Adventure
Thunder Mountain (this is iffy, may not happen)
Magic Carpets
Jungle Cruise
Tom Sawyer Island
Hoedown
Country Bear Jamboree
Allow a good 45 minutes for an indoor lunch break
Splash Mountain
FoF parade
Tiki Room
Swiss Family Treehouse
Peter Pan's Flight
Mickey's PhilHarMagic
Small World
Haunted Mansion
Meet Tinkerbell
