Hop or don't hop?

I think that it is a personnal decision and it really depends upon "your style" for seeing the parks. For me, I always hop. I like the freedom it gives me. In a normal trip, I will probably not hop only 2 days of the trip: my first EPCOT and MK days. For my MGM and AK days I always hop. Plus I tend to hop on any extra days that I have in the park. I particularly like to hop in the evening to see either the fireworks at MK or EPCOT.
