A few other things.
1 Most people do not realise how much walking you do ( I do use a DAS ) and I walk up to 10+ miles a day, I hurt my foot one day and did not think I walked that much ( I used. wheelchair) and this says I stilled walked about 3 miles. I am a very active person I walk a lot at work, run, and I am someone that does not like to sit still. I get ver tiered at Disney after a long day ( and sometimes even a half day) the worst for me is going to my car the parking lots are huge ( yes they have trams) but the rows are long and somehow you are always at the far end of the row. there is nowhere to sit if you get tired in the parking lot. I am just telling you this so that you can have an idea of the walking you will do at Disney. ( I would really look at getting at least wheel chair off-site and using it as a walker when you do not need to sit in it. This way you have it inside the park and outside the park.)
2) rope drop ( getting to the parks when they opened or better yet 30 minutes before) is your friend the parks are the quietest when first opened, you can do so much in the first 45-90 minutes of the park opening, right before park closes you can get some more things in my I think park opening is a lot better.
3) yes your FP+ to your advantage I would do your Fist FP for about 60-90 minutes after the park opens do 3 in a row and then as soon as you do your last one get another one.
4 you may not need to go back to your hotel to rest like I said before first aid, but also Disney hotel the deluxe ones have a great lobby that you can check out. At the magic kingdom you can take the mornaral to 3 of them and get off and just sit in a chair ( the Grand Floridian has a live piano player but not sure when he is playing) this can be a really nice resting for an hour or so if you do not need to go back to your hotel but just need to get away from the park have some where nice to sit. You can also drive to any hotels you would like and just say you would like to check it out all you need is some form of ID ( the only times you can not do this is very busy times of year, but you are not going during any of those times
5 lastly a few things about first aid, you are welcome to go in and use it, but the nurse will more than likely ask you why you do not need to go into detailed just I am having pain and need to lie down some or I have fatigue issues I need to lie down. ( you do not need to go into your DX and all of that). They also can store medication for you if you have any and they do have some OTC meds like asprin if you need any. they can make you an ice pack and have ace wraps ( if you needed it)
