Please critique my evening plans

This will be our first trip to WDW for the holidays, we are going 12/12 to 12/16 mon-fri. I planned it this way so it will be less crowded (hopefully). We have been to WDW so many times, just recently this past Sept. This trip is to see all the decorations and to celebrate DH's birthday. I really need help with the dinner times, as I don't know if I am giving us enough time to see the parks all lit up. Here's my ADR's:

Mon: MGM dinner at BD 6pm then off to Osbourne lights
Tues:MK MVMCP dinner first at CG at 6:20 then off to party
Wed: DH birthday dinner at Citricos then drinks at Mizners
Thurs:EPCOT dinner at Yachtsmans 6:10 then off to WS &FW

Are my dinners too late? I don't know if I am allowing enough time. For MVMCP, I know it starts at 7, but do you have to be there at 7? If we get our wristbands earlier in the day, can we go to dinner then walk into MK? I now the party is till midnight, we will most likely leave later than early. We have done all the rides a milin times, just really want to take in the party stuff like snow on Main Street and fireworks...

My favorite lounge at the world. So relaxing. I don't mind paying $12 a glass for avergae wine.

Your dinner times may be a little late, keep in mind it starts to get dark at 4:45pm that time of year. So 6:30 will seem late.

Thank you!

You are so right, I did not even think of the early darkness. I just changed all my ADR's to 5:30.
this way we will have plenty of time for the parks after dinner.

Thanks again

I would always recommend the earlier time. Even with Priority seating, the dinner rush will delay things.
