Hi John! Thanks for your question and for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. First off, congratulations on your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World!
This is a great question as I actually just had the opportunity to use a
Park Hopper ticket last December for the first time... and I absolutely loved it! Typically our family sticks to one park per day as there is so much to see and do. You can easily spend the entire day, from breakfast to dinner, at
all four of Disney’s Theme Parks and not second guess your choice.
However, I will say that it was nice to have the flexibility to visit other attractions and restaurants at other theme parks as we wanted to. For example, we absolutely love
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria within the World Showcase at
Epcot so even though we spent our day at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the pizza at Epcot was calling our name for dinner.
Depending on how long your entire vacation stay will be, I might also recommend looking at the rate comparison of a fifth day at a Disney Theme Park. If it’s a better value, you could add-on the additional day and pick the one park that you and your family best identify with and want to visit again. I realize this might not work out with your existing plans, but it’s something that we’ve looked into as well.
I hope this helps narrow down your decision. If you have any other follow up questions, please let us know. Have a magical day!
Bryan
