Buying ILL for the park you don't have reservations for

Just confirming that this is possible since I haven't tried it yet. If I have a park reservation for Epcot, but plan on hopping to HS in the afternoon, can I buy a ILL for ROTR at 7:00am or can I only buy them for the park I have reservations for? If I wait until the afternoon, the ILL for ROTR will likely be sold out. I do know this would take up a spot where I couldn't use one for Epcot, but I doubt that would be needed anyway.
 
As long as you have some kind of ticket that entitles you to park hopping (AP or park hopper ticket), yes, you can purchase an ILL in a park for which you do not have a park reservation for that day.
 
Yes but note that this does not guarantee that you will be able to hop if the other park reaches capacity (which has only happened at Magic Kingdom once, and never at any of the other parks).

As others have answered, you can buy an ILL for Rise at 7:00 (if staying "onsite") as long as you can park hop with your ticket/annual pass. You will get a time of 2:00 or later. You can buy one for Epcot (currently Ratatouille) also. The Rise ILL doesn't create a situation where you couldn't use one at Epcot (or are you saying it means you can't use two at Epcot; well, there aren't two Epcot ILL attractions currently anyway). You can buy two ILLs per day and they do not both need to be in the same park. If not staying onsite, you have to wait until park opening time (for offsite guests) to purchase ILLs.
 

Yes. I did almost the reverse thing on my last trip. We were at HS and I scored an ILL for Remy later in the evening. We had been up late for extra hours at MK the night before so I didn’t get up at 7 am. I booked the pass then hopped over to Epcot on the boats, entered through the IG, and walked right up to the Remy attraction. Note that hopping seems to take longer than expected. I always allow 40-60 minutes.
 
when you book your ILL at a park you don't have a reservation for, it will only show you times after 2 PM (hopping time). and you would still have one ILL slot to use at Epcot if you wanted it.

This!
We have done this with no issues, but we had an AP.
