So we have been to WDW plenty of times, had the old system down. We tried the new FP+ last fall and I didn't care for it. We are now going in June for 4 days and I need help. I am hoping that people that have been recently and enjoyed using it can help me.

Here is the breakdown...2 adults, our 16yr old son and our 9 month old daughter. My DH & DS are going to want to do the headliners.
All of us will do the rides with no height limit.

How do you plan where you will be and pick rides with such huge age gaps? I feel like I need to book the headliners for my guys but then I am losing all mine essentially right bc I can't ride them anyways as I will be with the baby?

ETA...I have never done the child swap before and have no clue how that works. Last fall the baby was a month old and my mom came and stayed with her while DH & I rode. So I didn't know how it worked before and definitely don't know it works with FP+.

We will be able to park hop and will do RD everyday but the 1st. I was planning on us hitting Magic Kingdom our first day.

Does anyone know if they have implemented the ability to choose more FP+ after you use your others? Does that mean the best strategy would be to book 3 for early morning and close to each other? I am absolutely lost on how to do this and not be criss crossing the park all day and waiting in long lines.
 
I can't be much help with strategy, but the three links in my signature lead to posts with a lot of FP info that may help answer some of your questions.

To answer your last question, three is still the limit for now.

ETA: How does that go unanswered for hours and hours and then we both hit it in the span of a minute?
 
You can choose different FP+ for each member of your party. So, you could book FP+ for the rides without height restrictions for you and the baby and send DH and DS off to ride the headliners, but then you would miss riding the headliners. I would suggest rider swap if you want to ride the "big" rides too.
