Are you getting FP for ToT or RnR at that second window?? Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that ST2 will be open when you are there (opens on the 20th) so you might want to fit that into your schedule. If you do decide to add it, make that your second FP window. In between Indy and LMA, you have an hour that you can use FPs in. And LMA will get you out about 2:15 so lots of time for the kids to play in HISTK play area. Since you will need to swap off with the kids, maybe have one couple do RnR before LMA while the other one stays with the kids, and then you can do switch off and do RnR while the kids are playing. You could even get a child swap pass when first couple goes on RnR.

HS is one of the hardest parks to plan a break in just because of the show timings and those darn F! packages in the middle of the afternoon. However, by moving things around, you can at least have 2-3 hours to rest. I'd plan on leaving the park shortly after your dinner, go over to BC or BW and go into the lobby areas. There are always some seats around in a corner area where you can sit back and relax. In fact, there is a lounge area right across from the store in BC that you can go in, put your feet up, close your eyes and just relax for an hour or so in the nice A/C. Please take this break time. You will need it and it will make F! so much more enjoyable if you are not exhausted!!!!

so something like this:
RD (arrive at gates by 8:15 AM)
TSMM
ToT
FPV ST2 (or RnR if you decide not to do ST2)
VOTLM
Backlot Tour
FPV RnR if you haven't gotten them yet or ToT if you already have FP
grab snacks
Indy 11:30 AM show (arrive at least 15 minutes early)
Use ToT, and RnR FPs
1:20 LMA show (arrive by 1:10 PM)
HISTK Play area until about 3 PM
Use TSMM FP
MM for F! dining package
Use ST2 FP if you got one
Now you have 2 1/2-3 hours that you can actually take a break.
Return to park by 8 PM and head over to F!
F! 9 PM show.

Indy 11:30 AM show

Backlot takes about 45 min so you need to be on it no later than 10:30 to make the 11:30 Indy show- that won't leave much time to grab snacks and FP before the show either
I'd flip Backlot to later- after LMA and put HISTK in it's place
