I get it. We didn't park hop for years. Now when we are there for 10 nights, it just makes sense and gives us a lot of flexibility.It's interesting how hard you guys are defending park hopper. Paying an extra $75 just to go to a different park for dinner seems like a waste to me, and I'd hardly mind heading home 2 hours early to relax in bed after a day in the park.
Our first few years (Weeklong+ trips) we didn't get them or need them. Those early trips there was so many new things to do that we easily filled up entire days in each park open to close.
Now, there are many attractions/shows that we've done so many times that parks like Animal Kingdom aren't full day. So now, if Happily Ever after got rained out on our MK day, we would have the flexibility to hop there just for that. We are staying at Boardwalk, so we like the flexibility to walk over to Epcot and walk the World Showcase at night since it stays open later... stuff like that.
Honestly, I find PH's much more valuable for longer stays than short stays. If I only had 1-2 days, I feel like it would be too hectic trying to park hop just to try squeezing everything in.
