My family didn't have hoppers on our trip, and I kinda regretted it. There were times that we were reriding attractions solely because there was nothing else to do, especially at HS and AK. We're not big on shows, and the number of attractions is rather limited at both of those parks. We also have this nagging feeling that AK is an overglorified zoo. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people that love that about AK, we just didn't care for it.
I would've rather gone back to Epcot or MK to dig into those parks a little more. I don't feel like I saw everything I wanted at MK, I didn't get to dig into World Showcase nearly as much as I wanted. So after we're done at AK and HS, we're going to hop to one of the "original two" to spend the rest of the day.
