Calling all Park Hoppers

[lmmantini]

For those who typically park hop, has the FP+ system changed the way you tour the parks? Just wondering if former park hoppers are choosing not to park hop because of FP+ or if you're sticking with your traditional way of touring.

Didn't change anything for us . Last trip (last November), we went to rope drop and waited in no lines, and then either hopped or stuck around, but either way, used our fast passes for the afternoons. Worked out great and we waited, at most, and only a couple times, about 20 minutes.

We will continue to hop because we like the freedom of going to whichever park we are in the mood for in the evening.

Dont know....have not been since the switch. But we are natural park hoppers...Stay at BLT and have young kids so its usually MK at night and the others during the AM.

We made our FP+s last night and it was reassuring to know that we could PH and add to the 3 later, but I am concerned about the availability in summer.

 

[Chuckers]

I will continue to hop and make my FP+ reservations for the park I will be in that evening.

Nope, the combination of hitting rope drops, then park hopping to where your FP+ awaits is, in my opinion, the best strategy for the shortest wait times.

 

[tsme]

No. Still plan on hopping

I have to say that I still park hop but I usually stay in the one park until I do my FP+ reservations.

Didn't change anything for us! If anything it made the park hopping we do easier!!

Usually our last day is 3 of the 4parks, so we'd do this:
-Rope drop AK, hit up headliners
-Hop to DHS, where we'd pull a fast pass, and then wait around in long standby lines
-Then hop to MK for the evening

With fp+ we now hop to DHS midday and walk right onto all the rides we want, with a guaranteed fast pass!

We still park hop. We generally don't spend a full day at DHS and AK so it's nice to be able to go to another park afterwards.

We just got back yesterday, and except for a full first day at MK, we park hopped every day. FP+ are more limited in the evenings, but they were with paper FP as well, so to us it did not make a bit of difference. We bookend early mornings and late evenings with pool and nap time at the hotel, so park hopping to maximize EMH or even just later park hours works best for us.

We are still going to park hop but just not every day anymore.

On our Epcot and MK days we've decided not to park hop when in the past we would spend 1/2 days at MK and the other half day at Epcot to break it up a little.

On our AK day we will park hop and on our 2nd DHS day we'll be park hoping since we plan on only needing a half day to finish what we want to do in that park.

And we are still debating if we want to try to do 3 rides each in all 4 parks on one day. I think it would be a fun challenge but the teens aren't sure yet.

It'll be interesting to see how our plans now work. We haven't been since the FP+ was implemented.

Still hopping. We always stay at our morning park until early afternoon, go back to room then hit another park (usually Epcot) in the evening. So, will hit rides at RD, make FP+ for late morning/early afternoon when it is more crowded. I really wish we could make the 4th FP+ before we arrived at that park, but, it is what it is!
