Our family of 4 (plus my sister-in-law) is heading to Disney on September 19th. This is a first time trip for myself and our two boys (7 & 5). DW and SIL have been there 2 or 3 times when they were kids. DW and I are both big on planning vacations so we already have ADR, Fastpasses and a day by day itinerary set, which we created many weeks ago. For some reason neither our travel agent nor DW & I realized that Not So Scary Halloween parade started 9/20/15. As a result MK will be closing early on 20th & 25th - two of the days we are planning to be at MK. Question is this; should we try to rearrange plans, fastpass reservations, etc to not be at MK on the 20th and 25th?

Below is our itinerary for the trip:
Day 1: MK: Fastpassses - SM, Big Thunder, Buzz LY; Dinner @ Tony's Town SQ; Fireworks @MK
Day 2: MK (closes @7 pm): Fastpass - 7D, Peter Pan, Small World; Dinner @ Rainforest DTD
Day 3: HS: Fastpass - Star Tours, Toy Story, Lights Motor; Lunch @ Hollywood & Vine
Day 4: AK: Fastpass - Safari, Everst, Rapids; Breakfast @ Tusker
Day 5: Epcot: Fastpass- Mission, Soarin, Turtle Talk; Dinner @ Via Napoli; Fireworks at EP
Day 6: Waterpark: Lunch @ T-Rex DTD; (intentional light schedule day)
Day 7: MK (closes @7 pm): Fastpass - Tommorowland, Monsters, Buzz LY; Dinner @ Ohana
Day 8: MK: Fastpass - 7D, Jungle Cruise, Aladin; Dinner @chef mickeys; Fireworks @MK

Wondering if we should try to switch and do MK on Days 3 or 4 since it won't be closing early those days. Our family is much more likely to stay late at the parks rather than be there for RD as we are not morning people.
 
Crowds are historically lighter on party days, which often means you can get more done, even with truncated park hours. Most guests will have similar thinking as you and will want to go to the MK on days with longer hours.
 
Stick with what you have. The park will be so much less busy on those days that it's actually much better.
 
The park is usually so much less crowded on party days. So long as you're doing the fireworks on one of your Mk days, I'd leave it
