Yup. The park hopper is an added bonus.

Well if you want to leave from MGM you can hit this boat that goes by the resorts to Epcot and say you want to hit the Magic Kindom after that there is a monorail that will take you there from Epcot.

The monorail comes to a parking lot where you have a choice to get on another monorail or hit the ferry which is cool because on one side is the resorts and on the other is the Magic Kindom where you can see the main sites like Cinderellas Castle and Space Mountain

As for the Animal Kingdom I have never been there so I don't know how to get there fropm the other parks.What so cool about this park is a an animitronic Dinosaur that walks around the park and reacts to kids petting it

Here is a pic I took after the 501st marched back at the last time I went it ends at Star Tours as you see in this picture

Yeah I am familiar with the trams and various boats to get around the parks.
On Friday we plan on hitting the Magic Kingdom
Saturday we will split between MK and MGM
Sunday we will most likely hit just MGM since this is the day I registered to march.
I can't wait because the last time we went was in 2001. We stayed 7 days then.
