where do I start with planning our days?

Only 27 days til we go to WDW and I am obsessed with all the info. Thinking about trying TGM but not fully sure yet. Trying to not plan every second but only doing 3 days in the parks so want to make the most of our trip. We have ADR's at Hollywood and Vine for Fantasmic, chef mickey for late breakfast one day, and want Hoop-dee-doo another evening. Also thinking of the 50's diner for our other TS meal. We're on DDP. We are traveling with 4 boys ages 12, 8, 6 and 2. Is TGM the best place to start? going 9/20 through 9/25. TIA

You could even start more simply (and for free) by checking the operating hours for each park during your stay. Find out what time they open and close, and which ones have EMH - so you can either take advantage of the extra time or avoid that park completely! This may help you decide without purchasing any other plans. OTOH, while I've never used TGM, it sounds like a good deal, especially if all the info overwhelms you.

Thanks. I'm getting so excited and even though I've been planning for months, now that it's close, I'm feeling the pressure.

Do you have all of your ADRs done? if not, you need to check if they're even available, and make them. Start there, list which parks they're in, the times, list the hours the parks open and close. Do you have park hoppers? I would ask all your kids (the older ones at least) to pick one thing they want to do...factor that in first. Make a little table, it really makes it easier.
