1) Get there early and grab Fast Passes for attractions you really want to do.
2) Anywhere on the parade route is good, really. I like the benches on the hub if you're willing to grab one early. I buy a late lunch and eat while I wait.
3) Wishes is best from the middle of Main Street, though it can be seen well throughout the park.

Be at the MK before rope drop, and they do a great opening show to kick off your day!!!! Also, I see you have a 3 year old. If he likes tinkerbelle, you can try and book it to tinkerbelles treasures which I believe is right behind the castle, and wake tink up for the day!!! You can ask to be a guest train conductor. You can also ask to ride up front in the monorail, thats always fun too!!!

If you want to cut down on waiting in lines ---bypass the parades ---the lines go down drastically during these parades.

If there are two Spectromagic's being shown at night, watch the second one. While the first one is going on, spend this time at attractions. All rides/attractions will be basically a walk-on, and the crowds for the later Spectromagic will be basically nothing.

We enjoyed watching Wishes from Fantasyland. It's a totally different viewpoint, and there were no crowds (they were all in front of the castle!). We watched Spectromagic on the curb right outside of LTT--we actually walked out of the restaurant after dinner and sat down for the parade. Went back a few days later and got the same exact spot (both times were about 30 minutes before starting time). Don't miss Mickey's Philharmagic!!!

Don't stop in Main Street USA Square for autographs the minute you enter the park. The lines are usually pretty long and the characters are only out for short periods of time. Wait until you leave or mid-day when you stop for lunch. The lines are usually shorter then. Or if there is one charcter you just HAFTA meet go to the Judges Tent in Mickeys ToonTown and keep an eye out for Meet and Greet signs.

Ride BTMRR at night and then stay there to watch "Wishes." The view is really great and the BTMRR at night is a totally different ride.
