My kids got tired about 45 minutes before Illuminations so we went and sat down right next to the sectioned off FP+ area until they started. No big deal We had a good spot, I do recommend that area but unless you think you will be busy up until it starts (dinner reservations?) I wouldn't use a FP on it, especially since I believe it is tier 1 and you only get one tier 1 choice and the tier 2 choices are pretty pointless unless you are going at a busy time.
