i wish i could be of service about the time you head to DQ but ive never taken Quicksilver or anything like that..i just know if you arrive at 3 check in this process can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour...espically at 3 o'clock because thats when check-in starts it will take awhile....and it will take a good 30 mins on the bus to get to DTD estimated....i wouldnt rush--take your time and enjoy it--dont press yourself to meet a time deadline...just go with the flow :) because youll get there before you know it!
Ditto on the Crystal Palace for DD's B-day!! Ive never been but it does have Pooh (and i think its the only place inside the parks that does if im not mistaken)
as for your day at MK--enjoy it and stay from start to close :)
