roundabout hopper?

that's an interesting point. Your name can be Mary Kate Smith and you can have a Mary Smith and a Mary Kate Smith on the same MDE with 2 different ticket media. Definitely possible
My daughter has her AP and has her Main Entrance Pass since she's a CM and she has them named separately on MDE and they both work fine depending on the reservation
It's smart to use your actual name since at any point you have a problem with the ticket they will ask for an I.D.

This is exactly what I have done for our situation. I have boyfriend as FirstName LastName and as FirstName MiddileInitial LastName. And different character icons for each so it's easy to know which one is which at a glance in the app.

Right, I shouldn't have been so judgmental on other people's plans. Whatever works for them is great. But one of my points is that its no coincidence that Disney is playing around with the hours, making them wildly different at each park, and banning park hopping in the same year.

Before the park hours were updated for our trip days I was pulling my hair out because of what they "normally" are, and I still don't understand why they are less than normal, but that is a totally different topic, lol!!

Thanks for that report. I'm trying to plan our morning at HS, and most plans I see have people doing MMRR first, but then doing more rides in either Star Wars land or Toy Story land, and the teenagers with us definitely want to do RRC and TOT without long waits, as those are priority, and the other rides are an "if we miss them, no big deal" situation. Did you do them in that order?

We went straight to the rail way....were off the ride 20 minutes before the park was supposed to open. it was nice getting 3 big ticket items off the books before the park even opened.

Let's please keep the thread on topic which is how can op park hop by buying a separate ticket

Just out of pure curiosity, in your daughter's case, is she able to "hop" with that setup? Using one for one park, and the other for another?

My wild guess is the staggered park hours was so they didn't have to have as many buses running. But my wildest guess on no hopping is IT didn't have a way to track guests in each park if there was hopping. I could way off!

She could certainly do that, tbh we haven't even thought of that

Each guest's fingerprint as scanned is stored in the guest's My Disney Experience account. If guest's fingerprint equates* with that of a different random guest, the two fingerprints never come in contact with each other because they are kept in separate MDE accounts ergo the second guest will not be denied entry.

* Don't worry; fingerprint information is not stored in great detail. It is impossible to redraw a fingerprint using the stored data.

And theres also no finget scanning happening right now so you wouldn't even have to worry about that
