But if they allow people to use FP+ at more than one park, it defeats the purpose of tiering. Tiering is there because they don't have the ride capacity to support this system. If people can hop around to pick off the headliners, they will still have a shortage for headliner spots. I will say that in all of this mess, I'm really glad that hopping isn't one of our issues. We generally don't buy hoppers and just plan complete days in a given park. But I can totally see how frustrating this would be to someone used to hopping. Everyone says "do rope drop at one park and schedule FP+ at your later park". Which is all fine. Except that before you could do rope drop, do some FP at that park when it got busy, then ALSO do FP at your later park. You could do rope drop at Epcot, grab a FP on TT, ride TT, run over and do Soarin, then go back and use your TT FP. And it's still early. You could to a few more things, then go over to MK and start pulling FPs for the remainder of the day. It's clearly a huge takeaway. It's ride rationing. Disney is hoping everyone will adjust their expectations downward. I suppose some will. I doubt we will ever be happy with this.
Booking FP+ at the 2nd park is really nice in theory, but it doesn't always work. Once again, perfect storm for us. We do ADRS between 5 and 6 PM, DS has a nap for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon (which I'm anticipating will be longer due to Disney exhaustion lol), we like to take breaks at the resort, and DS needs to be sleeping by 9ish so we can make it to RD the next day and repeat the process.
With all that considered, there really isn't time to schedule 3 FP at the second park. We're stuck using all 3 at the least useful time (mostly in the mornings) because of our inability to fit 3 into our evening park.
