Originally Posted By dlgirler SD, even though you have to tell AAA 45 days prior, I think you can upgrade your tix (to park hoppers) at any park tix office any time within 14 days of 1st use. I tried to call to confirm, but the hold time was too long (great hold music, at least). Call WDW ticketing customer service 407-566-4985 (should be option #2) (warning- they have reduced EST office hrs). Or email wdw.ticket.inquiries@disneyworld.com (I think this email is right, but they say it so quickly) I hate trying to make park hopping decision too. It's one of those decisions I make but never feel 100% with it being the best decision. My 1st trip as an adult with kids I didn't miss the park hopping one bit (I had the DDP too)- there was so much to see and we had at least a 7-day pass - and with kids and long trips, you are always trying to conserve energy. The 2nd <shorter> trip I did miss it b/c my main secret selfish desire was to ride all the thrill rides (esp non-DLR rides) over and over - but knew I couldn't do that alone with my 5 yr old. However, next trip I'll have my 9 & 11 yr old thrill-seekers, and I know they will want to! Also, last time I completely avoided EMH parks (since I couldn't hop out). This time I gave one a try. I've never been during an EMH before (not even at DLR). It was pure heaven (though it was 7am). Good luck!

Originally Posted By sdlovesmickey Thanks for the info Dlgirler: I have added so many extras onto this trip that I think we will probably not do park hoppers this trip. We will try it and see how it goes. I am going to try EMH a couple of times too.
Originally Posted By judyf I have always in the past got hoppers but this was before you had to choose. Most of the time we didn't use the hoppers. I find the travel time a pain and waste of time. I think the only time I have ever used the hopper feature is the day we go to AK then we hop to Epcot or MK for the night events. This trip I think we will do DD on AK night.
