This is what I have planned, but with all the changes not sure so input appreciated. We are staying Vistana and will be driving to the parks though we hope to get a chance to try out the Skyliner once.

Arrive - 10.10 - Dinner @ Disney Springs
10.11 - Magic Kingdom - thinking Sun will be less busy than Saturday though I know it is a holiday weekend.
10.12 Animal Kingdom
10.13 Hollywood
10.14 Epcot
10.15 Magic Kingdom
10.16 Epcot
10.17 - Magic Kingdom - shorter day as we will be heading home in the afternoon.

All suggestions welcome and thank you.
 
We are also going that week! Since s is a holiday that Monday (10/12) we opted for our HS day as a Wednesday in case people take Tuesday off to extend their long weekend. Fridays are also usually busy at HS. We opted for AK on 10/17 since its a short days for us (leaving in the afternoon) and it isn't usually a full day park for us- without the entertainment options now that is even more true. Epcot Friday night may be a little busy considering people go out for F&W for dinner locally as well.
 

Based on recent trends, you would perhaps save more time in total by moving your Hollywood Studios day to one of the weekend days. It might be busier that day than on a weekday, but not by much since it is busy every day. In contrast, the other parks figure to be significantly busier on the holiday weekend than on weekdays.
 
We are planning a trip from 10/12-10/17! We will only have 4 park days with the intent of riding our favorites multiple times from park open to park close, so this is my plan:

Tues 10/13 HS
Wed 10/14 MK
Thur 10/15 EP
Frid 10/16 AK

Even though I chose different parks on different dates than you, I can't see that I would make any changes to your plans.
 
We are also going that week and I'd forgotten all about the holiday weekend. We arrive on 10/13 and will head to DS, on 10/14 we are planning on AK and 10/15 will be DHS. We leave on 10/16.
 
We are visiting 10/9-17 and have the EXACT same parks reserved as you, except we also have EPCOT on 10/10 and we depart for home 10/17!
10/14 is our 25th Wedding Anniversary, EPCOT is our favorite park so we can't wait to spend the day there with Spice Road Table for dinner.

I figured since we have multiple days at EP and MK, we would do those on the weekend and then again on the weekdays with AK and HS on the weekdays. Either, our great minds think alike, or we will be totally sorry because everyone else thought the same way!
