This trip I am setting aside an entire day for resort hopping only....I know there are so many things to do at the resorts and am having trouble setting an itinerary of things to do on this day. We will be doing an E-night (fingers crossed....it's scheduled right now) the night before so will be sleeping in our resort hopping day.
We are staying at ASMu and will be starting our day off with a 10:30 breakfast PS at Kona. I plan on ending the day with a visit to the Boardwalk in the evening and would like to fit in a round of miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens at some point during the day.
Now....here's where I need your help....what to do in between!! I have PS's for Boma on another day so will probably check out AKL then, but am thinking of going back on this day for the storytelling....would it be worth a 2nd trip back? The other resort I am scheduled to visit on another day is OKW on our first day for lunch at Olivia's. We also plan to take in fireworks from the Poly beach on an earlier day.
So....with this rough details in mind....what would be your idea of a perfect "resort hopping" day? I can't wait to hear your responses.

Starting the day @ Kona, you'll finish breakfast @ around 11:30. I'd then walk over to the GF. Take a look @ the new pool, look around the main building, do whatever for about 1 hour. I'd then head over to the MK via monorail to catch a boat to WL. If you time it right, you may see the geyser going off as you approach the dock. Get a list of Hidden Mickeys from the front desk and go on a scavenger hunt for a while. Next, I'd rent a bike and ride over to FW. Check out the petting zoo, ride over to the meadows trading post, and check out the camping loops. Ride back to WL and turn in your bikes. Allow a couple of hours for your tour of FW, as it really is one of the most beautiful places in all of WDW. From th WL, I'd take the boat to the CR. Grab a snack @ the Fiesta Fun Center, and if you have kids, let them put a few quarters in a great arcade whil you take a breather. It will probably be pushing 5:00 by the time you're ready to leave the CR. Depending on how tired you are, walk to MK, or ride the monorail. Then catch a bus to the Y&B. You will be getting to the Epcot Resort Area at just the right time of night as the sun will be starting to go down. Have dinner @ Beaches and Cream. After dinner, stroll over to the Swan and olphin which are definatley prettiest when seen @ night. Check out the grotto and then head over to Fantasia Mini-Golf for an evening round. After the golf game, backtrack to the Boardwalk, making sure to be there in tome to catch the Illuminations fireworks. At the end of this day, you may be exhausted, but it sure will be fun! I wish I could go with you!
