Nevertheless, able to get this work on the manual RTW tools and price out the whole itinerary, so, i guess it's all within the rules.

Happy with this routing as,
1. Can visit both disneyland
2. Can stop by DFW twice, for friends and family
3. Can experience Al-Salwa in final leg.

If you would be happy with only one Disneyland, you could pick up ~1,700 BIS miles by changing DFW-MCO-PHL-LAX to DFW-SJU-ORD-LAX. SJU-ORD is seasonal, and you didn't mention the dates.
