    Hi I am a single mom with a soon to be 5 year old.I am trying to plan my trip for September, Is it better to gat a hopper pass or a basic your way pass. The difference in price for three days was about $175

    Hi, Susan!  I have to admit, my family doesn't hop all that much, and with little kids, I hopped even less.  My thinking with young children has always been to hit the parks early and hard, and then wrap it up early to give them some pool time or relaxation time at the resorts. 



    You can absolutely still have a great trip without park hopping.  The big advantage to being able to hop is that you can take advantage of extra magic hours in the morning and evening if you are a resort guest, plus, if you do decide to leave early for a nap or a break, you might want to go to a different park later on.



    Consider what your park style might be, and determine if you'd like to take advantage of a hopper option.  Then weigh out if it's worth the price difference.



    Have a great trip!
