Should I change my incoming flight?

I am flying from the US to Ibiza in September with two layovers. CLT > MAD arriving at 5:30 am. MAD > ALC departing at 7:25 am and arriving at 8:40 AM. ALC > IBZ departing at 2:15 (14:15) pm and arriving at 3:13 (15:15) pm. Booked on a single ticket. Flying AA to Madrid then Iberian. But since it's a single ticket, our luggage (if we check any) should be checked all the way through to the final destination.

Since Madrid is our first stop into the Schengen Zone, am I correct in assuming we will need to go through EES? And if so, how realistic is it that we actually make the 7:25 AM flight to ALC with only a 1hr 55 min layover?

There is another flight from MAD > ALC departing at 11:50 and arriving at 1:05 (13:05). That makes me less worried about long lines at Madrid for EES and immigration, but its a tight connection at ALC to get to our flight to IBZ.

Do you think we should risk missing the 7:25 am flight from MAD > ALC? Or switch to the 11:50 to ALC for piece of mind leaving MAD, with a caveat of a tight connection at ALC?

Going September 3-9. Recs please!

​

Hi everyone! I booked my first trip with my partner for September 3rd - 9th, coming from the US. We have pretty set plans as far as clubs go, but looking for any advice and other recommendations for first timers! Also we are looking for people to split VIP, boats, or beds with us for stuff we don't have booked yet. We are staying near Platja den Bossa at the Grand Palladium White Island.

Thursday 9/3 - arrive at airport at 3 pm. Check into hotel get ready and go to Ushuaia for Martin Garrix. Leave Ushuaia to go to Pacha for Purple Disco Machine. We have Balcony VIP already for Pacha.

Friday 9/4 - open day to explore. Calvin Harris @ Ushuaia. After Calvin we have open plans, but maybe Hi for Camelphat.

Saturday 9/5 - Planned boat day to Formentera, but nothing booked yet (any recs? Or anyone want to share a boat that day?) Open plans Saturday night. Was thinking of going out to Es Vedra for a sunset cruise depending on when we return from Formentera, or check out DC-10, Amnesia, Pikes or another club (recs?)

Sunday 9/6 - Boat Club at O Beach. Nothing booked yet, looking for people to table share. Planning to book GA soon if no interest. Swedish House Mafia @Ushuaia. Open plans after that

Monday 9/7 - open day to explore. David Guetta @ Ushuaia followed by Armin Van Burin @ UNVRS

Tuesday 9/8 - open day to explore. Sunset cruise to es Vedra if we didn't so it Saturday. Anyma @ UNVRS

Wednesday 9/9 - basically leave UNVRS, go to hotel and pack and head to the airport for our 9:40 AM flight.

We are open to switching up O Beach to Tuesday if there is interest in getting a table/sofa. There are also so many other clubs and beaches we want to check out, but so little time. Would love any recommendations you have, including restaurants! Our hotel is all-inclusive, but we want to have a nice lunch or dinner one night.
