Royal Carriage + Disciple Combo Issue

My wife and I just got Adventures and I ran into a scenario that I thought would be worth asking despite how rare it will be I'll run into it again.

The setup:
My Hand: Miser, Miser, Disciple, Estate, Coin of the Realm.
My Tavern Mat: Royal Carriage (x2), Coin of the Realm (x1), Copper (x8)
Tokens: Miser: +1 Buy (other tokens were out there and irrelevant to this question)
The Victory Cards in the Supply: 4 Provinces, 8 Duchies, 7 Estates

My wife had 4 Provinces and I had 0 (and I was sweating because I had been waiting on my two misers to show up for 3 hands with Royal Carriages ready and each of those 3 hands she was buying province after province).

So my question is this: Can I use the first Royal Carriage on my Disciple, use the first Miser with Disciple, then use the second Royal Carriage on the first miser since it's done being resolved, then use the second Miser on my second play of disciple thereby playing Miser 5 times (netting $40 and 5 buys + original buy) instead of just 4 (Netting $32 and 4 buys + original buy)? I was 80% sure I could do this, but even with using 4 misers and getting 4 provinces that still ended the game and I won by an estate so it wasn't too pressing to know for sure.

In other words, I'm just making sure that the Disciple wouldn't end up disqualifying miser from being Royal Carraige'd somehow that I didn't recognize.

Disciple: You may play an Action card from your hand twice. Gain a copy of it.

Royal Carriage: Directly after resolving an Action, if it's still in play, you may call this, to replay that Action.

So, breaking down what you said:

Hand: Miser1, Miser2, Disciple, Estate, Coin of the Realm
Mat: Royal Carriage1, Royal Carriage2, Coin of the Realm, Copper(x8)

1. Play Disciple -choose Miser1 from hand (x2)
2. Call Royal Carriage1 -choose Disciple from play
2b. Play Disciple -choose Miser2 from hand (x2)
3. Call Royal Carriage2 -choose Miser2 from play

This does seem to work the way you described.

I also think it works, but I'd arrange the steps a little differently:

1. Play Disciple
      1.1. Choose Miser(1)
      1.2. Play Miser(1)
      1.3. Play Miser(1)
      1.4. Gain copy of Miser
2. Call Royal Carriage on Disciple
      2.1. Play Disciple
            2.1.1. Choose Miser(2)
            2.1.2. Play Miser(2)
            2.1.3. Play Miser(2)
            2.1.4. Call Royal Carriage on Miser(2)
                  2.1.4.1. Play Miser(2)
            2.1.5 Gain copy of Miser


So when you call Royal Carriage on Miser(2), you're still in the middle of playing Disciple and can't have tried to gain a copy of Miser yet.

You could even call the Royal Carriage after the first play of Miser(2) as step 2.1.3. instead of step 2.1.4.

This looks legit.
