Well here is where I personally would start!
I would look up the calendar and pick which shows that are a must see for us! Ours are Aladdin, Parade of Dreams, Playhouse Disney, Brother Bear show, fireworks, and the Electrical Parade if it's running when we go.
That said, we only like to do two shows on any given day so we don't feel like we are always rushing to beat a time constraint and so that we don't feel like we are sitting in shows all day going from one to the next.
I am not sure which morning TTM is valid for, so I can't help there. I don't plan which lands we will do in what order because of line length (sometimes we'll skip and come back!) and because of what mood we'll be in (don't know ahead of time) I do however plan which park and what ride will be first and then we go from there.
We also tend to get fastpasses in the morning, and then use them at night when we get back to the original parl. For instance, we usually always start in DL because we are always up and going before CA opens at 10am, and I don't like to waste those hours. We hit a few long line rides (matterhorn or Peter Pan) first and collect fastpasses for ones the adults wish to ride along the way (or hop on those with baby swap if it happens to be a walk-on which it frequently does that early)
Then we hit Fantasyland for a few rides until it starts getting really busy there, usually about 1.5 hours after opening. In that first hour we can hit almost every ride, some of them twice and that's without early entry! Then we tend to head over towards Pirates/Haunted Mansion/Jungle Cruise/Indy. If we go to Haunted Mansion first, someone runs up to get fastpasses for Splash, we hit the 4 previously mentioned and like to stop at lunch at French Market (insert Blue Bayou for yours, I know you mentioned that.) By then it's warm enough to use our fastpasses for Splash while other parent takes child on Pooh a few times, possibly sees Pooh with them.
It's at this time that we evaluate. We either head back for map/swim, or head to CA. Usually it's a nap/swim from about 1-3, then over to CA from about 4-close hitting rides/shows there and grabbing some dinner. Then we leave CA about 30 minutes before close to beat the rush and long lines over to DL. Then we hit the parade, fireworks, and whatever rides we collected fastpasses for earlier or our favorites and close down the park!
I know this got kinda really detailed but we usually follow this plan to a T, except changing where we eat somedays. It just works for our family and I am sure everyone here will have some great help for you!!!
