1. As for the weather, during November of Yunan, the average temperature is about 14 C, and the lowest temperature could reach about 2 C sometimes throughout the whole province. Anyway, the sunny days frequently happen, though, it might rain a little. You'd better take along sweater and wool coat with you.
2. Since you wanna tavel so many destinations of Yunnan, here is my suggestion about your itinerary:
Kunming - Dali - Lijiang - Shangri-la - Songzanlin Temple (Cause it is very near from Shangri-la) - Lugu Lake.
At each scenic spot, you can visit many attractions and enjoy yourselves.
Anyway, you can refer to the following website to know the details about Yunan trip and you can also book a trip on line through the website if necessary.

3. Since you have the children together, I suggest you apply a tour company which would arrange the transport and the corresponding tickets as well as your accommodations. TravelChinaGuide, a traveling company, is suggested. The company would arrange an ideal itinerary based on your demand and provide you a good service along your trip.
4. About the transport ticket, if your wanna a self-service traveling, I think it is necessary to book in advance as well as the hotels. The front page of this website can lead you to book the tain tickets.
May the information help.
