Reasonable touring plan for AK?

Animal Kingdom is the only park I haven't been to, so I wanted to see if this plan is reasonable.
Will be me and my 6-year old daughter on a Saturday in late May, with EMH (8 AM open)

She'll be in a stroller so the walking won't be as much of an issue, but I know it's a huge park
She's a daredevil so I'm not worried about EE for her (She loves Space, Splash, BTMRR, Radiator Springs at DLR, etc)

Fast passes are for FOP at 10, Safari at 1205 and EE at 130. We need to hop over to MK for the dessert party for HEA.

Here's the plan:
Rope drop EE, probably do it twice. Then Dinosaur and Triceratops spin
FOP (FP 10-11). When finished, explore Pandora a little bit and get lunch around 1130 (quick service with mobile ordering, so it shouldn't take more than maybe 40 minutes)

Safari around 1210 (FP 1205-105), then into line around 1240 for the 1 PM show of Festival of the Lion King (standby)

EE 1:45ish (FP 130-230)
Kali River Rapids, Tough to be a Bug, then Tree of Life for pictures
Dinosaur (standby or 4th FP), maybe Triceratops spin again if she liked it

Done around 4:30, head to MK for dinner and a couple FP rides before the dessert party.


Is this all reasonable? Should I try to move any of the fastpasses around? I know I'll be covering a lot of territory going Asia, Dino, Pandora, Africa, Asia, Dino, but I feel like she's going to want to do EE multiple times.

Thanks so much for any and all advice!
 
The plan is a good one, but I think your dd is going to be really tired for the party, just something to keep in mind.
 
Kali will probably have a substantial wait mid afternoon at the end of May - just a heads up. That is a VERY full schedule and AK is HOT. My kids (6 and 9) usually “hit the wall” around 2:00 on our AK day and just want to go back to the resort and swim. That being said, you know your kiddo best. Good Luck and have an amazing vacation!!
 
The AK portion of the plan sounds fine, but I agree with PP that your daughter will probably be tired for the party (and I know those dessert parties aren't cheap!)
 

Definitely a fair point. Maybe we should head back to the hotel after the EE FOP for a swim and to relax for a bit, and then head to MK for the party.
(or maybe do Kali as a 4th FP after EE if available via refresh, and then go swim after that)

We have 3 nights, and this is the only one without EMM the next morning, so it definitely makes sense to do the party that night.
