Significant Updates Coming to FastPass+ April 10th

Wait, so at the 60 day mark, we will be able to book from home, let's say RnR at HS, then PoC & PP at MK? All for the same day?
I love that!!
I still don't understand why people would desire choosing less than 3 in advance for those not hopping. You can always cancel that 3rd one and start choosing SDFP. Right? Though I guess that would be wasteful for those wanting that 3rd fp that you threw away.
Usually, it's something that never has a line like Nemo at Epcot.

I also wonder if at the kiosk (for those who don't have smartphones) can you choose an fp for a different park. So if I'm at HS, and we've used up our 3 fp that we booked in advance, and ready to book #4, a SDFP, but ready to hop to MK, can I choose on the kiosk a FP for MK? Or will I have to wait until I'm in that park to start adding 4th FP?
Or can one only do that on a smartphone?
(I did break down and convert a few years ago but I know someone who still hasn't who would probably like to know.)
That and just for the sake that having a smartphone should only offer convenience but not necessarily an advantage over non-smartphone guests.

The new system allows for up to 3 FPs pre-booked - all for one park.

If you only choose 1, the system will allow you to add on 2 more even when you are actually in your first park.

After you have used whichever number of FPs for your first park, you can use the app to choose another FP for the next park if you are hopping.

The kiosks are park specific. No one has mentioned booking for a different park while at an in park kiosk.

It appears to only be the app for park choice for your 4th FP.

But these can only be chosen one at a time, correct? As in choose, ride, choose, ride, etc?

No, the app will allow you to select the final two which is then your limit of initial 3. Then, additional FPs are one at a time.

Thank you so much for explaining!

As Hiro said, you can only book at a kiosk for that park. I tested this and also asked CM's at DHS and Epcot at the kiosks.

Sorry I know this has already been answered, but I am trying to help a friend change her fp+ park since she is changing her touring plan. I haven't played with the new changes and can't figure out how to change the park without cancelling the existing FP+. She is at her 59 days so need to do quickly.

Apologies and thanks in advance!

ok so. . . do i have this right for park hopping. i technically still have to book at least 1 fast pass but once i get into the park wit the first one i can then select number 2 and 3 for a different park? or do i have to wait for the first to be over.. even if i book three can i cx the 2nd and 3rd to grab 2 for another park? does this all have to happen after the first or no earlier than the day of? i assume least the day of cause if not you can pretty much book multiple parks at the 60 day window then.

The park hopping strategies are being posted in the FP Superthread.

You don't have to book anything for park #1. You can just book for park #2 and have 3 FPs for park #2.

If you book any FPs for park #1, that limits you to only one FP at a time for park #2.
