Fastpass / Park Hopper question

[OurLaughingPlace]

We have never used park hoppers before (but our bounceback offer required us to purchase them so we are going to use them). So if we book our 3 Fastpasses at the MK in the morning and go back to our resort for a rest, can we go to MDE and book 3 Fastpasses at Epcot for later that night? Or can we only book a 4th Fastpass? TIA

After you use your 3rd FP (as soon as you touch your magic band to the scanner) you can start looking for a 4th fastpass in any park. As soon as you've used that 4th one, you can book a 5th, etc.

So even though I'm going to a new park after using all 3 FP's, I can only book 1 at a time?

Correct. Booking 3 is only done in advance, for one park per day.

Yes, as soon as you use your 3rd. You can book a 4th at any park any time. As soon as you us the 4th you can then book a 5th and so on and so on until all the fast passes are gone or the park closes.

I guess it was wishful thinking that I could book 3 more before going into second park. Thank you for your responses

As soon as you enter the FP line for FP#3, book your #4 FP for whichever park you'll be going to that night.

You actually aren't required to use 3 fastpasses in 1 park but you can't prebook some for a second park until you have none leftover. One day we booked an FEA fastpass and only that. After we scanned and waited in line for the ride, we then booked 2 fastpasses for magic kingdom and hopped over for those rides and the fireworks adding more 1 by 1 as we used them..

does that make sense?

edit:

aka:
- prebook 1 for 1 park. get 2 for the next after you use it.
- prebook 2 for 1 park. get 1 for the next after you use it..
- if you change your mind and skip the first park, delete it and get up to 3 for the park your heading to instead.
- 1 by 1 after you have used the first set of 3..
