I'm sure it will be fine. However, if your Mom gets tired and wants to take a nap, you have the option to park hop while she is resting, and then you can meet her back at the room or the park she started at for the day!

Yeah, and that way you'll get to do a lot of running at the same time!

Update...

We decided to get the hoppers of course...and it was well worth it since we were staying close to Epcot...and went back there for dinner or adult beverages on several days during our stay.

Epcot is really the only park that makes it worth hopping to on multiple days due to its size and dining options.

Plus it is open pretty late so it makes it worthwhile to go there in the evening.

I'm pretty sure I will have to sneak in to a park w/o her at some point or another?! Even if I just walk into one of the parks and then walk just b/c I can! Who I am kidding...walk/in, no way! I'd have to ride a ride!

Always a park hopper. Way to freedom not to enjoy one.

Never won't do the park hopper. My family can really only spend a full day at Epcot. We find DHS and DAK to be half-day parks so we usually go elsewhere after we go to those two.

still have yet to write up my trip report...but...

on this past trip DW and I hopped 6 out of our 9 days we were there

it would have been more but our first day was a travel day and we only did one park...one day we devoted to resort hopping and did not go to the parks...and our last day we did breakfast at Kona Cafe and did not attend a park...so every day we could possibly hop we did...totally worth it!

I agree. If I was doing DHS or DAK, I would go for a park hopper as I don't find there's enough to do at either park for a whole day.

if you get to MK at rope drop...you can get through most of the attractions before 2:00 or so...allowing you to hop to Epcot for the evening

DW and I did this...and it let us know that when we have kids and bring them we will ALWAYS be at MK for rope drop. Waiting no more than 5 minutes for any of the Fantasyland attractions was amazing.

The park hopper is awesome, but it really depends on what you want to do for the day. The last time I was at WDW, though, it was during spring break and very busy. I did not consider the time spent waiting in lines, waiting for busses, fastpast times.....ect. and found that there was nothing more frustrating than enjoying our time in the park, but having to leave because we had dinner reservations in another park. I would suggest planning out ahead of time what you want to do, plan for summer crowds, and decide if it is worth the money for a hopper.

When I buy 10 days passes, I've never got the park hopper option, mainly because 1) getting a 10 day non-expiring, water & fun pass is expensive enough without getting something that I may or may not use and 2) I always look at hoping from park to park during the middle of the day as a waste of at least an hour, maybe more if the transportation is running slow or otherwise delayed. I've never really done the go from one park as it closes to another, mainly because I'm usually running low on energy after finishing a whole day at MK, EPCOT or DHS. Maybe it is an option when AK is closing at 6pm and one of the other parks is open till 9pm or later or has EMH going on.
