Honestly, I would book the FP+ options for the park you will be in later in the day and go to your "morning" park early and use standby lines. Depending upon what time of year you visit, early lines can be very workable and you could get most of the "A" level attractions covered.
Agreed - seemed to work best during our trip this past October.
We found that there is a second piece of the equation that fundamentally changed our trip: MDE App. Because everyone is online checking their next FP+ time, they were also checking wait times. All week long in every park, you would hear groups of people talking about how they needed to move to a certain attraction because the wait time was shorter. 15 minutes later the wait time would double.
Not sure how to stay one step ahead of the crowd now except be at the rope drop for whatever park you start your day.

You would still have needed to get whatever FastPass(es) were available at the second park after you arrived, so you would be as limited, if not more so, than this new system. Under this new system, if you go to your first park early, you could do stand-by and get most of what you want done without too many long waits, book your 3 FP+ options for your "evening" park and work it from there.
What I meant was I didn't have to plan so much as to when I had to be here for FP and when I had to be here to eat. I knew what attractions I needed a FP for and planned what I would do around that attraction until my time was up. Too much planning ahead takes some of the fun out of it.
