How often do you hop?

[Nohal]

I couldn't live without my park hoppers. We hop everyday of our 8 day trips. We usually have an ADR at Epcot so start at another park and hop to Epcot for dinner. Also on our last day we try to hit all 4 parks.

How often per trip AND how often per day do you park hop? We've only had hoppers twice and both times only hopped one day per trip. We stayed at AKL and at CSR those trips so neither were very conducive to park hopping. This time we are staying at YC with 3 day hoppers and also going to MNSSHP on the 4th day. The one day we plan to hit Epcot at opening and stay through lunch, walk back to hotel and then head to AK since the park is open until 8 that night. After that MK has EMH until 2 am so I'm thinking of that as well. Sounds like a full, exhausting day! I'm just wondering since we're within walking distance to Epcot if this will help?

We always park hop.

Can't imagine staying at the same park all day and all night.

Just take it slow.

We hop every day. Sometimes twice a day. We almost always end up at EPCOT or the Magic Kingdom in the evenings. We like dinner at EPCOT or Wishes at the MK. We don't find that it takes that much time. We wouldn't go without hoppers.

Everyday. SOmetimes We even hit all 4 parks in a day

I typically always hop and even did all 4 parks on my last park day last Dec. It was so much fun. Next trip tho, not planning on it. It would cost an extra ~$360 for the 6 of us and I just don't think we'd get that much use out of it. It's my niece and nephews first trip and I think it'll be easier without them. If for some reason we decide to get them when we're there, we can. Now if I was staying at a monorail or Epcot resort, my view would probably change but we're at Pop.

I typically hop a couple of time (2-3) per trip...almost always on arrival day. Most of the time it's only one hop during the day...but I have done more. I prefer keeping it to one hop but it just depends on what I want to do. I'm fine staying in one park all day if I have to...but especially on arrival day I like to hit Epcot for a late lunch and then hop on the monorail and head to MK for Wishes and MSEP. This year we arrive on Saturday so we're going the reverse (no Wishes or MSEP on arrival day)...a few rides at MK in the afternoon (FP+) and then hopping over to Epcot via monorail for early dinner and staying for Illuminations.

Any hops beyond that depend on how long the trip is and what I feel like doing that day. My upcoming trip I have 3 hopping days planned and 6 non-hopping days...but that's always subject to change depending on what we are feeling each day. I love the flexibility of hoppers.

We usually try to do one full day in each park; whether we go to AK or not depends on the projected weather (we don't go in August, we do in November). After that, we hop. Even if we go to AK, we will occasionally go to MK afterwards. We usually hop every other day.

I would only hop to go over to evening EMH or a park after AK closed. I only ended up hopping 2 or 3 times last year when I had hoppers for an entire week. I didn't want to waste the money this time. Plus I was so beat after a one park day. The thought of walking to the bus, waiting on a bus, walking into another park and then walking back to the bus and waiting again was enough to tired me out even more.

We probably hop 75% of the days on our trip- especially when staying at an Epcot resort- sometimes just for dinner or the fireworks- love the flexibility

 

[Mousemommy1]

We hop everyday of our trip. One park in the morning, and then back to resort to pool and naps, and then to another park at night.

 

[TheGreatGafsby]

Most days we spend a morning at MK, HS or AK, then head to the resort for a nap/swim, then we'll hop to Epcot for dinner. Sometimes we switch it up, but usually we end up at Epcot. The table service meals are just so much better there....

 

[Jfsag123]

We are only planning to split a day between two parks one time during our six park days. However, we went ahead and got hoppers because we'll be staying at BLT, and want to be able to head back into MK at night if we would like to (which I imagine we will pretty often).

 

[Summertinkerbell]

We hop nearly every day. We go early and open one of the parks in the morning, go to the pool in the afternoon, and go out again at night, usually to a different park. The only park we will return to on the same day is MK. We usually go to Hollywood Studios one morning to do Toy Story Mania and the Great Movie Ride, then have lunch at the 50's Prime Time Café. We don't go back to Hollywood at all after that. We used to go to AK for one day, but we are skipping it on our next trip to have more time in MK because of the new Fantasyland. Our second most active park is Epcot.

Being that we like to park hop, we were disappointed to find out that we could only Fast Pass+ in one park per day.Not happy about that at all.
