I am allowed to pick my FP+ and I have no idea where to even begin! Any advice?? We also have the disability card thingy we'll have the option of getting, so this makes it even more difficult to choose what to get!!

Ok for example I'm on Hollywood Studios which will be our first stop. it says choose one.. and lists things. of those things there's 2 that we def want to go to...that's the toy story mania and Fantasmic. I've seen people say not to choose fantasmic...How do you decide which to choose??

Which ever is more important to your family, crowd calendar, park hours, dinner reservations, etc...takes a ton of research these days. What works for someone else may spell disaster to you....

Generally, you want to go with the 3 attractions that you intend to experience that have the longest lines.
At DHS, they have what's called "tiering" in place.
Based on what you've written so far, go with Toy Story Mania (TSM) as your Tier 1 attraction.
Now you have 2 more Tier 2 choices to make.
If you intend to ride it, Tower of Terror is the best choice for a Tier 2 attraction.
After that, pick between Star Tours (which is crowded early but can have a short line at night) or Voyage of The Little Mermaid.
Everything else in Tier 2 is relatively easy to experience.
Just post your thoughts on the other parks and we can help you make selections.

No, you'll still have to get in line and wait 1-to-1.5 hours, depending on what the crowds are like.
However, those using FP+ for Fantasmic report still having to show up early and still not getting any preferential seating.
What days are you going?

We'll be in DHS on April 19 but the trip is April 19-23. I should mention we also have access to the disability pass thingy...not sure what they are called. My husband is ill.

You will want to research the GAC benefits as they have drastically changed recently. That week will be crazy mad busy Easter week is fun but buuuuussssssyyyyyyyy. FP+ what attractions are most important to you. The GAC will work as a place saver in line and give you a time to return, much like a FP. It no longer allows one to arrive and ride. This has been discussed in MANY other threads.....hope this helps.
I checked the crowd calendar...varies from 3 to 9 depending on day and park...we were there Easter wheel last year and it was 10s everyday, every park. HS is a 5 that day however, touring plans is a bit glitchy with the added chaos and unpredictability of FP+. I would be prepared for heavier crowds.

Yes indeed....So far i'm sitting with the kiddie and letting him choose what's most important to him since the trip is about him anyway. I think I choose well....We did toy story, star tours, and the stunt show...now on to the other parks LOL. Next up, Animal Kingdom!

The longest lines at Disney's Animal Kingdom (DAK) are Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur.

I would definitely recommend either purchasing a planning/guide book or borrowing one from your local library. You get a description of what WDW has to offer, broken down by park, area, and attractions. Especially since you are traveling with the GAC card, you need to know what to expect and what you're getting into.
