Just got back and thought I would share our itinerary which would be rushed for most but worked out well for us.

Originally had 3 nights in Pienza and 2 nights in Florence, but was a last minute flip by me.
Meant we had to skip Montepulciano, Montalcino, it worked out fine and I made sure we explored every inch of Pienza.

Day 20
Disney Day. Took train from Paris to Disney and back. Left around 9 AM and got back around 11 PM.
Day 21:
Checked out and Flew home.
Although we moved around quite a bit it didn't feel rushed. Although it was the only place we had 4 nights, paris definitely felt the most rushed and the place we wanted more time. We did not see everything there we wanted.
If we did not do the all day Disney excursion it would have worked better for seeing Paris.
Glad we did though my daughter loved it and will be all she likely talks about from the whole trip. Had lunch with the princesses while there which was a real treat for her.
Loved Florence, Tuscany, Cinque Terre, loved Ortisei and the lifts are amazing there. Did not care for the Mountain Pass drives at all. Lake Bled a little mixed about, liked it but did not love it probably should have stayed in Italy but desired to do something unique.
Not sure if made the right call with 2 nights Pienza and 3 Florence in retrospect maybe should have switched them as originally planned.
2 nights in Venice felt like enough, the crowds there bothered me, only time I liked Venice was the early morning hours and after dark. I did make sure to be out and about before Sunrise both mornings and walked a ton there and in Paris.
The trip may have been better in reverse since the most walking was Venice and Paris at the end which made us tired coming home.
