I'm impressed!
Will skip Shangri-La and take the bus from Dali to Kunming. But this ...

... sounds a little bit exhausting. Your itinerary wouldn't cut the total travel time to reach Zhangjiajie, but it would give me a half day and a night in Fenghuang?
I can't buy the Ticket Zhangjiajie Beijing in Lijiang, only in Kunming, right? That would be only 6 days in advance so the chance to get it wouldn't be high, right?
There are cheap flights from Changsha to Beijing sometimes. If I book now they want 1090RMB, but the rate goes down to 660RMB on some dates. If they will offer this price for my date this would be a better option than taking the train? Softsleeper would also cost 555RMB. So I have to visit ctrip often.
I dont speak chinese, have to plan most things in advance. Thanks for your help.
