That sounds like a great menu with lots of variety. It should appeal to everybody's taste.

I specially like the duck, it's my favourite birds. My mother used to make a duck stuffed with apples, that's the best duck I ever had.

If you want to make it easier. You could buy only duck legs and/or magret. I did that last year for Christmas. Duck legs with a honey & orange sauce.
