hello friends,
during a recent trip to CA (last week) I thought I would stop by Disneyland! I had a few days left on my park hopper from WDW, so I checked all the websites and I thought "no problem" -- so off I went.

Okay -- EVERYONE from the ticket counter people, gate people, and of course guest services not only hated the idea of me using my hopper from Florida, but refused it. I stood my ground (with the most polite attitude I could muster) and about 45 minutes later, after asking for a supervisor ... they allowed me to use my hopper.

Be warned: tickets from WDW can not be scanned at gate. You must have a supervisor read the ticket in a special hidden area of the park. The 2 parks are not connected electronically except for this one area. A supervisor must use a special scanner to read tickets from Florida.

The day proceeded great, and California Adventure is a pretty cool blend of EPCOT, MGM. Hope this helps anyone who plans to travel out west with WDW tickets.
