I got both pretty easily for a party of 5. Picked up JC for 3:30 around noon, PotC 6ish for a 6:15, if I'm remembering correctly.
Those are great times! I hope the summer crowds allow me to get similar passes.
FP JC first. The standby wait there is longer and tends to stay long later in the day. Plus, the standby queue is hot and boring.
You'll likely be able to get FPs for both but, if you can't, waiting standby for PotC will be shorter and more pleasant. You could also do the pirate adventure game (I'm forgetting the exact name) and completing 3 challenges gets you a pirates FP.
I forgot about the Pirate adventure game. That might be something the kids will want to try. And you make a very good point about the JC queue being outside and in the heat.
Your plans sound great! Starting the day at Crystal Palace will be really nice. I understand the pressure of wanting your mom to enjoy the dessert party. I bet she will, don't stress! You really can't beat having a great spot for the fireworks so I'm sure she will think it's worth it when all is said and done.
I think the not having to sit on a sidewalk curb for an hour will also win my mom over. She tells me every trip, "I'm getting too old to sit on the ground." So I finally found a solution for that problem.
