That is the exact reason that we love park hoppers. Hopping is great for dinner. Many nights we go to a park in the morning, epcot for dinner, and than hop to a evening park.
I would not go to WDW without park hoppers. I would rather cut on the souviners and get hoppers.
We never do hoppers. We are usually there for 8 days or more and barely hit one park for 4 hours a day if that. This past trip I had a 6 days non hopper and we ended up not even using one of those days. I think we go to Disney for relaxing by the pool and soaking up the themeing of the resort more the parks.
