Epcot touring plans--what builds standby lines now?

I'm trying to think through an EPCOT touring plan for a multigenerational trip in December. We will have FP for FEA and Mission Space and SE our first day. Our second day we will use rider swap with the babies in our group so that we can get on both TT and Soarin with FP/RS passes. No one wants character spot, so I'm wondering what to do with the two tier 2 FPs that day. What really needs them? Should I book early FPs for seas and turtle talk and then hope for a Living with the Land 4th FP? Does that build a long standby line now? Any other surprise waits now? Figment? We haven't done EPCOT since FP+ fully rolled out, but at MK last October we noticed long SB waits on rides that never used to have them.
Thanks for all your expertise!
 
I find the tier 2 FP hard to use at Epcot. I personally would do Nemo and Turtle Talk. Figment is usually pretty much walk on. Or consider a second ride on spaceship earth?
 
Really, almost nothing except Mission Space needs a FP+ in tier 2. Even Mission Space is hit and miss...if you ride the green side it almost never needs FP+. I can't recall the last time I saw Nemo standby more than 20 minutes. Figment is practically NEVER more than 5 minutes...most of the times the CMs are standing around waiting for guests. Living with the Land can get a line, but vast majority of the time it's a walk on. The short film show is also a walk in. Since you can only use one tier 1, we typically do Nemo and Mission Space or SE for our other two. Not because we want to because those are the only real choices we have.
