Very similar to our plans for later this summer for a long weekend.. Going to stop at Portland on the way up, then casually tootle along Rt 1 to Acadia. If you are ok with an early start, you might want to consider sunrise on Cadillac Mountain. Thunder Hole was fun, but I think it may be best under the right circumstances (guessing tide level and wave height).
Haven't been there yet, but Thurston's Lobster Pound looks like a good bet. If Mt Desert Island is a clock with Bar Harbor is at 2:00, then Thurston's is at 7:00, in Bernard.
As an FYI, I think that at this time of year, you could encounter a bit of fog / mist in Acadia. In our previous visits, we had a lot in early season (beginning of July), and none in late season- late Sept was unexpectedly mild with spectacular weather (the gulf stream gets that far north), as well as uncrowded.
When you are visiting the Bay of Fundy, Hopewell Rocks (on the New Brunswick side) is interesting at low tide. Enjoy!
