WDW - enhancements to Fastpass Plus start 4/28/14

[SueM in MN]

New enhancements to Fastpass Plus begin Monday according to this article.
Guests will be able to make another Fastpass Plus after using the first 3 that they pre-arranged.
After using that new (4th) one, they will be able to make another and keep repeating the process, making a new Fastpass Plus as soon as they used the previous one.

Guests who want to park hop will need to use their 3 Fastpass Plus in the first park, but then will be able to go to another park and make Fastpass Plus one at a time.

At present, these additional Fastpass Plus times need to be arranged at the in park kiosks, but they hope to eventually enabled the My Disney Experience app to schedule these additional Fastpasses.

Question...does anyone know how many of these kiosks will be in the parks? I'm just hoping that we won't have to walk all the way to the front to make these additional FP+.

We just got back from WDW on April 11 and found them all over.
Many of the old Fastpass machine areas have been already changed to Fastpass Plus kiosks.
The ones near the front were busies, because people went to the ones they saw first (they were being used by guests staying off-site). Sometimes, there was even another set of them in view that no one was at.

Here's a link to touringplans.com that lists the current kiosk locations.

It's missing some, because I saw the old Fastpass machines at Buzz Lightyear in MK and at Toy Story Mania at the Studio had been changed to Fastpass Plus.

This is great. Do you know if you can repeat rides? E.g. My son likes the safari ride and we frequently ride it 3 times each day we are there. With the GAC we were able to make it happen. Not sure if he will qualify for the new system and even if he did we would probably just have to sit there to wait for the return time. Fast passes would be great!
A related question - we are starting to get our fast pass selections decided. Found we need a little more info. We decided on jungle cruise for one. If we arrive at the return time will we still have to go to the end of the wheelchair line to wait for the special wheelchair boat. Is there any indication on the fast pass plus that you need a special car or special seating?
Thanks in advance for any help.
