we have always had fun just using WDW buses and boats and the monorail.
It takes a little more time but if your not in ahurry it can be a fun time. we use the monorail route to see those resorts and the boats to see WL and Ft W.
try to use the parks that are close to the resorts to use the buses that go to them. like MGM to see AK.
and from Epcot you can just walk out by GB and then you can walk around the lake and see Y and B BW, swan and dolphan.
a littl e planning can go a long ways with this.
