We will have a 6, 4 & 2 year old and we were gonna skip the PH but I wondered about the shows say we are at MK and there is a show later at Epcot? Or do they have the schedule out so we can plan around this or have the shows multiple times! Sorry for the dumb ? Just never did this before and I don't want to waste money on PH if we don't need it!
This is a great site to keep BOOKMARKED for future reference.
The following site posts the stage shows, in-park and other on-property shows and their times for the CURRENT week.
(It is updated every weekend.)
The times may be "similar" for other dates as well.

to open their listings and view their show times.
Be sure to check back to the site as the actual dates of your trip get closer.

We nearly always
park-hop... virtually every single day.
But YOU may not NEED to.
How do you know?
What should you do?
Simple:
You don't need to buy the "Hopper Option" UNLESS and UNTIL you need it.
If you are already at one park and decide that you'd like to "hop" to another... right then,
just walk up to a ticket window, add on the Hopper option (costs the same price if you buy it before or DURING your trip) and you're ready to hop (that day, and any others, for the rest of your trip.) You must make this and all other upgrade choices within the first 14 day of when the ticket was first used and no later than on the day that you use the ticket's last asset.
If you go and NEVER need to hop, don't buy the upgrade, and you can then spend all those "extra" bucks on more WDW souvenirs!
