Fast Pass
Get you Fast Pass for attraction that you like to go the most. Remember: you can get only 1 Fast Pass at a time. You cannot get another one until you use the previous one.
You do not have to pay for it, but you should use it. You take your park ticket to the kiosk of a ride you want to Fast Pass and put each one in. It will give you a stamped time to return to the ride so that you do not have to wait on line. You cannot Fast Pass more than 1 ride at a time, meaning if you fast pass Buzz Lightyear, then you cannot fast pass Space Mountain at the same time. Also they run out of fast passes for the most popular rides, meaning that by 10 am you may no longer be able to even get a fast pass for a ride at 4 pm.
Tips about Parade in Magic Kingdom
I have found that you can often get a railing view of the parade from the elevated courtyard area by the doorways into Cinderella's Castle pretty close to show time. It is not seated, and you don't get down close and personal with the characters, but you do get a good view. And this parade of all of them is really better viewed from a bit of a distance, as opposed to up close.
Everyone thinks they need to watch it from Main Street, U.S.A., or the main hub of the park. So that is where it gets most crowded. But if you go to spots on the parade route in Frontierland, the availability of space is a bit better. There are no curbs there typically, but you and your kids can sit on the ground beforehand once they have roped off the parade route.
Suggestion:
Day 1: Magic Kingdom
Day 2: Epcot
Day 3: Animal Kingdom (if you want to see various animals, it involves the most walking) or Hollywood Studios (if you are in the rides)
Day 4: Either any park you liked the most or park you didn’t go to (Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios)

Go and get the Fast Pass for the ride that you want to do the most.
Suggestion: your husband takes your three tickets and go to the ride you want to go first that accepts fast pass (see Fast Pass link above)
Go to the Fantasyland. Try to meet Mickey first at Town Square Theater. If your daughter likes princesses, go to the Belle experience. It is new and good for that age. Don’t wait more than 1/2 hour for it. Then go to Ariels new ride. After Fantasyland, go to Tomorrowland, then Frontierland, and Adventureland.
Some of people’s favorites rides include: Small world, Peter pan's flight (get fast pass), Buzz lightyear, Space Mountain if you like roller coasters (fast pass), Splash Mountain (fast pass), Pirates of the Caribbean: it is cool inside, but might be a little scary.
For sure see Disney's Philharmagic. You can get fast pass, but the theater fits many seats, so don’t waste a fast pass on this. If you are there early you will get a seat. Don’t go to Haunted Castle, it is scary for a 7 year old.

Other notes
Relax and enjoy, it can be very tiring . Realize that if you love it you can go back another time it will always be there.. whatever you see will be great and if you miss something it will be there next year.. The important thing might be to see the princesses because as the daughter ages it will not mean as much and the " older stuff" will be there, 7 is a magical time to enjoy your daughter seeing her heroes.. I recommend you go to our Disney store and Walmart /target and but all your souvenirs and bring them down much more cost effective!
