Hi. A couple of thoughts:

• Epcot is my favorite park and I have seen Illuminations many times from many locations. I don't understand what you would need a fast pass for? Don't overthink that one.
• I think you are cutting it way too close with your brunch and 7DMT on 3/22
• Without knowing kids ages or family dynamics - hard to evaluate. Make sure you are looking at maps and discussing with brother about the pace of your FP schedule.

Good luck and have fun.
