hej ... :)
I think you will missing nothing. a good route you will travel...
only maybe one little thing to add:
when travelling from Southern-France to Barcelona, cross the Pyrenean mountains from Perpignan to Barcelona by a special free train connection. The Petit Tran Jaune is a lot of fun and nice nature you will see:

3 days in Lake Bled is a lot- try spending one or two days in Lake Bohinj, which is far far far nicer...it's about 45-1hr away from bled by bus if i remember rightly, well worth it. good campsite at the western end nr Ukanc..there's a direct bus to Ljubljana from there too- takes about 1hr half..well worth it!

try Dokk Club on Sziget Island in Budapest..Domino hostel is great on Vaci Utca..Szechenyi Furdo are great spas (don't go to Gellert= massive tourist trap)

ermmm..don't pay for the metro!?
the biggest island, called Margaritsziget or something, is really great day and night..
don't buy drinks on vaci utca or go to any of the clubs there..
3 days is cool for budapest, 4 if u plan on going out all night/day in Dokk.
