Park hopping and visiting other Disney hotels?

[Herewegoagain]

We have the 14 day ticket for all parks. If we want to split days between parks or the waterparks what is the easiest way to go about this ie

which parks are easiest to park hop to and which mode of transport would you use?

Also we are staying onsite at Coronado Springs Hotel are we free to visit other Disney Hotels for dinner or snacks and free to use their transport to parks?

you are free to use disney transportation

buses run between parks so changing parks is easy

buses run between parks and hotels, but not between hotels, to go between hotels you'd need to transit via a park and change buses there

We often park hop from HS to Epcot stopping at Beaches and Cream or the Boardwalk for food or snacks. There's a boat to transfer or you can walk. We also use the monorail to hop between MK and Epcot.

You can definitely visit other Disney hotels, and you can use Disney transport throughout WDW. The only thing is that if you are driving to the other Disney hotels, some of the hotels (notably the ones near MK/Epcot and now the Skyliner resorts) may only let hotel guests and guests with reservations at hotel restaurants to park.

Disney transport park hopping options (warning this may be outdated and may also change at any time)

Magic Kingdom:
- Epcot: monorail or ferry from MK to the TTC, then monorail from TTC to Epcot. I'm not sure if buses run between MK and Epcot.
- DHS/AK: bus

Epcot:
- DHS: bus (from Epcot main entrance), boat/Skyliner/walk (from Epcot international gateway). Walking takes about 30 minutes at a nice relaxed pace, Skyliner probably around 20 minutes including the change at CBR, boat around 30 minutes but you need to wait for the next boat and boarding time etc.
- AK: bus.
- MK: as above - monorail/ferry

DHS:
- Epcot: as above
- AK/MK: bus

AK:
- Bus is the only option that connects AK to other parks.

The parks are equally easy to park hop. Depending where you are and which park it is you want to get to you might use a bus, the monorail, the Skyliner or a boat. It isn’t really about which is easiest, there is often only one option.

Anybody can go to any hotel they want to visit.
