Park Hopping + Parking tickets ?

Hi,
I hope I did not oversee a topic to answer this :p
We (my girl friend, all parents and I) will be in Orlando in November and will be using park hopper tickets.
As we rented a house near, but outside of Disney, we will be having a rental.
During the day my girl friend and I will be most likely doing hopping while our parents will remain all day in a park (different interest + age/mobility etc.).

So, if you pay the parking tickets and you hop during the day using the car to get from park to park, do you need to pay parking multiple times ?

E.g. In the morning we drop our parents of at MK, drive to Animal Kingdom to hop back to MK later in the afternoon.
How to best do this ?
Do we have to pay parking to drop them off at the front entrance of MK, pay parking again at AK and again when hopping back to MK ? Or is the parking ticket all day in whole Disney area ?
I guess park the car at MK and use Disney transportation ?

Would be anyway nice if someone could answer my question about the parking fee :kiss:

Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Christian

Simple answer - NO. Pay at your first park then keep the parking ticket visible on the dash and show it at each subsequent parking booth that you drive through.

Pay at MK and drop the parents off. You now have two choices - Disney transportation to AK or drive. If you drive, show the MK parking ticket when you arrive at AK and park. When you re-attend MK you still have the original, valid parking ticket - take the car with you unless you want to chase around after the car all day (and as AK closes before MK you may find it difficult to get back to AK to collect your car)

@Captain Hook: Thanx.
Hmm, so the only two remaining opt are:
  1. Take car with me all time.
  2. Use Disney transportation
    i.e. park at MK, parents go to MK, I go to AK using Disney transportation and same to come back to MK to meet parents later in the afternoon.
So: What is faster - option 1 or 2 ? I think I kind o remember that MK<->AK Disney transp. is not too often and also don't know how long it takes. Any recons on which way of transport to use ?

If you use Disney transportation from MK then its a trip from the park entrance by monorail to the TTC (no trams to the parking lot) and then bus to AK and it will drop you off nearer to the front of AK (again no trams from the parking lot).

BUT you don't know how long you'll wait for the buses.

Generally, using your own car will be the faster option
