Just like how people have mentioned "cliffhangers" (very important), it's also imporant to shorten it in ways that are necessary.

What I would suggest writing the whole thing out first (since you have the whole thing planned out already), and then find good places to shorten it. If you can't find good places, find the best you can and change it up a little, if you can, to give it a cliffhanger. If it changes the whole story, either go for it or do a different part.

That's all I really have to say. Good luck!
