It probably is simpler, but the one time I did that (admittedly in June), I had to take a tram to the back part of the MGM Studios' parking lot just to get to my car, which took a little while. Then, I drove from there to Magic Kingdom (10-15mins), and was directed to park right next to the WDW Speedway, which is waaaaaaaaaaay far away from TTC where I'd have to board and ride a monorail to get to Magic Kingdom's gate. This distance would make getting stuck in the back corner of the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure and walking to Disneyland seem like walking next door.
As soon as I saw where I was directed to park, I promptly took off and parked at Epcot. Then I stayed there & rode the buses and monorails from there. I couldn't imagine constantly bouncing around parking lots and ending up stuck in the back of all of them or in some other awkward, undesireable parking location. Eventually, I just picked the lesser of the evils and went with the buses.
Bottom line is, park hopping, heck, in-resort travel within WDW at all, is awkward at best. Plan time for it, plan patience for it, and just accept the fact that walking between Disneyland and DCA is a serious luxury that I keep catching myself taking for granted.
