Just wanted to add we were at WDW last week and decided not to do hoppers. (This was our first trip w/out them). We arrived at our "park of the day" at opening and stayed until the park got busy. We spent our afternoons swimming and returned to our "park of the day" in the evening. We never had any troule getting back in the park. We may never hop again!
I'm from Oklahoma too! This dreary weather will certainly get you in the mood for a trip to WDW.
