Hopper Pass???

We love the hopper. If we are there for 2-3 days then we just do one park a day but I get itchy even on those short trips. I like the option of going to a different park at night - also with ADRs you are not stuck at the park you have your ADR in. You can start out at MK and then go back to the resort and then to EPCOT for ADR. When I am in WDW I like my options wide open.

I always get the hopper, it's added expense but one that I think is worth it in the long run. Let's say I'm staying at the Beach Club... we hit the bus and head to MK in the AM for the day, around lunch the crowds are just really high so after we eat we head back to the BC. We'll head down to the pool, have an adult bevvie and at this point we don't have an ADR anywhere. So we simply shower up and head over for a quick meal at Epcot and finish off the night with Illuminations.

I think being locked to one park per day just limits my stay. Just my 2 cents

Same. Park Hopper gives you freedom to roam a bit more.

I think it depends on how you like to visit the parks. If you are a "We get to Magic Kingdom 30 minutes before rope drop and don't leave until they kick us out" type of person, then hopping doesn't make much sense.

If you are a person who likes to go back to the hotel for an afternoon break, to have a nap and a shower, then I think the Park Hopper is a great idea. We usually take a break in the afternoon and often times want to go to a different park then we did in the morning.

If you are going when crowds are low, and you get to the park 15-20 minutes before it opens, you can have a lot of the "big stuff" done by the time you are ready to go back for a nap. Once you are rested, you can decide to go to a new park at night (if you have the hopper), as you have done most of your favorites at your morning park anyway.

Go with the Hopper! Even though you're not going to AK it's a great tool to get around freely and not have to be stuck at any park the WHOLE DAY! I can't imagine a trip to Disney without a Park Hopper. It just makes things more fun. You can be spontaneous and decide that you just want to "hop" to another park. It keeps your options open. Have a good time.
