Should I get Hoppers?

[BTown]

I'd sooner not go to Disney if I couldn't hop from park to park.

Maybe it's adult ADD, but I get bored after about 4 hours no matter what park I'm in.

Additionally, I feel like having the park hoper option gives you more for your money in the long run. For instance, if you're spending the day in Animal Kingdom, and that park closes at 5:00, if you have a park hoper, you can hop over to a park staying open later, thus giving you more park hours for the day.

Especially if you're staying on property, park hoper plus EMH really maximize your time in the parks.

Plus it's just great to have that flexibility. Sometimes you might be one place and just get the urge to ride something one more time at another park.

I'm one of the ones that doesn't feel hoppers are worth the money. We would generally only need it for one day each trip and that is AK day. Would be a waste of money for us.

I've always wondered about the "crowd calendar"... where do you find that?

This is like my 11th or 12th time, i don't know... to disney and it is the first year I won't be doing park hopping. With 3 little kids I would rather fight the crowd in a park than lug them all on a bus or monorail and switch to a park where the crowd is probably just about the same. The only time i ever really park hopped was if I had ADR in the AM and wanted to spend the day in another park (Which just ended up being a pain and should have planned better) This year we aren't park hopping and it just makes me plan a tiny bit more, but no biggie... i'm glad to save the money!

depends where you're staying too. When we were staying at the Boardwalk area, hoppers were great since it was so fast and easy to go from park to park. However, at AKL, it was a different story with transportation taking longer, we ended up doing one park per day.
