Feeling so overwhelmed by all this! I don't even know what days I will be at which park. Trying to figure out how i can get a lot down with a 13 month old. Heading to the world Aug 29-Sept 5th, hoping for low crowds, Hope to be at each park by 10:00 (some days later depending on breakfasts). So what is your FP+ strategy? And where is that thread that lists which are of high demand? Thanks!!!
 

Second time this has come up in two days, so I looked it up ... here's a great article on Rider Swap, which confirms that you only need one FP+ for each of the people who is riding in the first group. If you are not going as the solo adult and / or have more kids in tow, this can help a lot with getting stuff done. The post also has a nice list of things to do with the waiting child (other than just waiting or using the time to get snacks for all):

I would start here. Figure out what days you'll be at what parks. I think that's the first step. Personally, our FP strategy gets us to the parks at rope drop where we ride with no lines for at least an hour (with the exception of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Anna and Elsa - those usually have lines right away). Around 11:30 or after lunch our FPs start. Getting a 4th FP is easiest in Magic Kingdom just due to the number of attractions. Usually you can get most anything (except Seven Dwarfs and Anna and Elsa, unless you're there during a very busy time which you aren't). Since you said you won't be arriving until 10, I might have my FP start then especially in Magic Kingdom since the quicker you use your first three the quicker you can get more (and like I said there is WAY more options for a 4th in MK). Use the thread @DisneyBelle27 posted to figure out which rides are priorities.

It can be very confusing! If you have other specific questions just ask! These boards are so helpful :)
