I feel like last trip we had (Dec. 2018) was rushed, park hopping to make all our ADR and FPs and rope drops and parades... When they said that they were reinstating Park hopping, a part of me actually thought that we might actually forgo park hopping to make us slow down a bit...
I think if you were scheduling tight and jumping from a park to another park make something specific I could see it.
Our thing is we absolutely are leaving the park when it gets busy and stopping back by the resort.
Normally as we wind down in one park I start refreshing for a FP in the afternoon park to see what we can get.
I never hop to an ADR unless it's dinner but never for lunch.
Disney has also said they have reserved the right to change the 2pm park hopping time, which means we might see them allowing guests to park hop earlier OR later. I'm interested to see the experiences people have with PH in January.
Ya I would expect a place like AK to have it open earlier.
I suspect HS will always be after 2PM to avoid the rush for a boarding pass and then people immediately leaving the park if they don't get it.
I think people are reading way to much in to things. Reminds me when people thought Park Hoppers wouldnt return and I said it would likely be Jan 1.
Maybe during Spring Break, 4th, 50th, and Christmas it might be an issue next year though. They have capacity in the parks it's just how willing they are to just let it "overfill" the capacity limit they self imposed right now.
