not sure about going from park to park, but just know that they keep one park open longer for people who are actually staying in disney each day! Also the sci fi drive in place is my fav, its so cool and its a great place to get burgers and milkshakes!

Great restaurant choices! What hotel are you staying at?
One of my favorite places for breakfast is Ohana in the Polynesian - so if you can't get into one of your breakfast places, I'd check that out.
I always get the parkhopper because sometimes I want to go to animal kingdom during the day but eat dinner at epcot - it makes things easier.
Depending on what parks you're at it could take about an hour to get between them. However, if you're at Epcot during the day and want to go over to MGM/Hollywood, I would walk over. Just walk over by the Boardwalk and take the walkway. Or you could go from the boat launch at the boardwalk and take the boat to MGM.
From Magic Kingdom to Epcot (and vice versa) is easy - just hop on the monorail change at the transportation and ticket center and get on the next monorail.
I have never had to wait more than 15-20 minutes for a bus at Disney.

You should definitely go to the countries in Epcot!! We went to Italy and Canada. Italy was just alright, but Canada was amazing. We had filet mignon and shrimp!! There are many other countries so there are a lot choices. Hope you have a great time!!

Dana!!! We love Disney too!! We always get Hoppers just for the reason that we may be in one park like MK in the day and want to eat in EPCOT at night. I personally wouldn't hop between parks to kill time between fast passes because I think it's a lot of running around for nothing. We get to the parks 5-10 mins before opening and FastPass certain things like Soarin, right away. If there's Extra Magic Hours we take advantage, morning or night. We were able to ride Kilamanjaro Safari first thing on our trip first ride of the day! We also got first ride of the day/first row on Soarin! I think park Hoppers are definitely worth it, we get them every time!

You can definitely fast pass and go to other parks... sometimes your fast pass will be for three or four hours later and it never took us an hour to get from park to park.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm crazy about the princess breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table... plus if you get early seating you'll be in the park early and you can head over to the crowded areas before everyone else.

Re: since we are talking disney
yes u can fast pass n go to another park but i really would not waste the time...by ther time u get out of the park,get on whatever transportaion u r taking get back in(which there is always a line to get in) go through bag check i just dont see why u would do it..i would get the fast pass and do the rest of the park besides unless the park is super crowded ur fastpass will be for the next hour but u can also see on the fast pass line what time u will be given so if u see its for 4 hours later then i guess u could park harp ..jmo

I read on www.wdwinfo.com that you can only make priority seating 90 days ahead now. They are no longer allowing 180 days. Unless previously made priority seating.

Yeah look for the day the parks stay open later or open earlier for hotel guests. We went to MGM on one of those days and ran back and forth between Rock and Roll Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror 5 times each before the park opened to everyone else. As for Fast Pass, I would stay in the park you have it for, unless your pass is for hours later, which sometimes it is. MGM and Epcot are close.
I loved going to Chef Mickey to eat with the characters. Cape May Cafe is just ok. The Sci Fi is awesome. Fantasmic is a great show and I love the food at Hollywood and Vine. California Grill is one of my faves, find out what time the Magic Kingdom fireworks are and go then, its beautiful.
I agree with whoever said to go to Epcot for dinner. Go to France - Bistro Francais, the food is delicious. Germany is a lot of fun and has a great buffet. Italy just got taken over by new owners, it was closed for renovations not to long ago. I can't remember who it is but they are from Long Island, my parents told me who it was. Its supposed to be excellent now.

It can't hurt to try...just don't be surprised if they tell you that you have to wait.
