As you know, your MCAT is a little low for MD schools. If you can get get a 30+ on your retake you should be pretty set. If there is any way you can move up your test date to June that would be helpful since a July test means no score until August which is kind of late. Overall, you seem to have a pretty well rounded app so if you apply correctly (broadly) your chances are looking good.

I'd might suffer a lower score if I moved up my test date.

I'm going on my school's graduation trip May 17-June 1st. I don't think I'd get much study time done in April because of my upper level classes and I'll be spending about a week packing up my apt and moving out after I graduate.

It's a tough decision, I really want to take it earlier.
