Re: Our itinerary
I've made some edits to give you a better impression on how much time you may want to dedicate to parks and relaxing

Monday 27th September
MGM Studios
NOTE: This is probably a good 1st day. I highly reccommend starting out with Breakfast at Spoodles at the Boardwalk. The best way to get there is to take the first available bus to MGM and take the boat to the Boardwalk. If you haven't already, you should call Disney Dining to see if you can get the Fantasmic Dinner package.
Tuesday 28th September
Downtown Disney
NOTE: Personally, I think you should consider doing Magic Kingdom today. DTD is by no means a full-day and there's really nothing to do first thing in the morning. I think you should get to MK right at the opening to see the rope-drop ceremony. It's the most magical way to see MK for the first time. DTD should probably wait until later in the trip when you'd like to relax.
Wednesday 29th September
Epcot (Future World)
NOTE: This is a good idea because it's EMH day, so long as you get there first thing. I would plan on doing as many rides as possible and then get on the monorail to head back to MK. Take a leisurely lunch at any of the 3 MK resorts and then finish out the day at MK to hit any of the rides that you missed the day before. This would also be a great night to try Ohanas.
Thursday 30th September
Epcot (showcase)
NOTE: This is good. The showcase doesn't open until 11am, so you can get in whatever rides you missed the day before, unless you'd like to sleep in. Then you can spend the afternoon touring the showcase and perhaps walk over the the Boardwalk for dinner and enjoy BW at night.
Friday 1st October
Magic Kingdom
NOTE: Since you're onsite, I really think you should consider AK today because of EMH. You should be pretty well adjusted to the time change by now. AK closes at 5pm and from my experience, you can easily do everything you want to do by 2pm. Then you can relax for the rest of the day, go to a nice dinner (perhaps California Grill and see Wishes from the top of the Contemporary)
Saturday 2nd October
Animal Kingdom
NOTE: If you've taken my advice and done AK the day before, today could be the "do anything" day which could include MGM for EMH, or a character breakfast at Chef Mickey's or 1900 Park Faire with some shopping at DTD later in the day.
Sunday 3rd October
Move into Villa
Go shopping
Monday 4th October
Blizzard Beach
NOTE: Make a reservation for dinner. Maybe you could get tickets for La Nouba and have dinner at one of the DTD restaurants.
Tuesday 5th October
Magic Kingdom
NOTE: By this point, you've reached the saturation point where you should really try and be super flexible. Don't rush to do anything in particular, but maybe try doing an Epcot/MK mix day again. I find the monorail trip to not only be fun, but also a great way to break up the day and relax a bit without going back to the resort.
Wednesday 6th October
Busch Gardens
Thursday 7th October
Typhoon Lagoon
Epcot Wine & Food Festival
Friday 8th October
Universal Studios
Saturday 9th October
Contingency Day (going to see when we are there) but must be a disney park (10 day ticket)
Sunday 10th October
Don’t know yet - need somthing thats going to be fun but not too tiring for our flight (I get cranky when I'm tired ).
NOTE: I try to make the last day really enjoyable by planning nothing more than a nice breakfast. You could try breakfast at Spoodles, even it's the second time. Spoodles is GREAT for breakfast. Or you could try a character breakfast. There are many ways to relax.
Leave for Airport 17:00
Check in Sanford 18:50
Fly out Sanford 20:50

I hope my suggestions might give you some ideas.
