Just keep drinking lots of water or gatorade like beverages. Use a water sprintzer fan thingie. They sell them all over the parks if you don't already have one. It'll be super humid. Just plan to sweat. Wear sleeveless or tank tops and shorts. Crocs are great for the parks.
Just curious. With DD's birthday during your trip, do you have to pay the 10 and up price for your tickets or can you get away with the 3-9 child's ticket one last time?
You're not missing anything with the dining plan. Where you really make out is with the kids meals. However, eating that much food is just not how we normally eat, so we discovered that without the meal plan, we spent about the same, but we bought less food. We weren't any hungry. We just got less food for the same price. We saved all our receipts and added it up. we found we spend nearly exactly what we would have with the dining plan. We however, probably saved ourselves from gaining 5 pounds.

We really enjoyed our meal at Rose & Crown. What time is your ADR? We had around 7:20pm and we were being served dessert right about the time that the fireworks show was starting on World Showcase Lagoon. We had an outdoor table right near the lagoon. Excellent viewing. I recommend that if your reservations will have you there about that time, ask for an outdoor table facing the lagoon. You won't be sorry. H&V I've only done at dinner time. Never did the BBQ or CRT. Enjoy!
