My question is whether you print out a paper voucher for each park hopper or it is just the one paper and the bar code tells the cast member that you have three 5-day park hopper. It might be worth a call to see how it works if the explanation is not adequate on the website when you order.

Has anyone actually done this?

Print at Home works great, just go straight to the turnstiles, and they scan (and keep) the Print at Home pages (one per person), and then print out the actual "ParkHopper/ticket/AP voucher" in just a few seconds. This is the exact same ticket as if you bought it at the Main Ticket Windows. So if you ordered a 5 day ParkHopper, on your first entrance, they will trade the 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper you printed for a traditional ParkHopper, which you use for the rest of your trip, including the Fastpass machines. The system works great, and I wouldn't have any issues using it, and it does save money, especially if you used to have to pay for overseas/international shipping.

I made copies of them just in case and will keep the copies separate. But I feel pretty confident that they will look it up if I happen to loose them on the way to DL as long as I have my credit card with me. The print-outs are cute with Sulley on them. Anything Disney is fun to have! I'm so excited, only 34 days and I'll be trading these in for real tickets and into the park I'll go!
