So the last time I was in WDW, I was solo and did a resort hopping day. I saw 12 resorts and had such a fun day! My DH and I are going on a trip soon and we've scheduled a resort hopping day so he can enjoy it all, too. What are your must sees?

Here's our rough game plan:

1) Port Orleans Riverside
2) Polynesian (via bus to MK followed by Monorail)
- Tonga Toast!!
3) Contemporary (via Monorail)
4) Grand Floridian (via Monorail)
5) Wilderness Lodge (via Monorail to MK, Ferry to WL)
- Rent a Sea Raycer!
6) Boardwalk (via Ferry back to MK, Bus to BW)
7) Yacht & Beach Club (via Walking)
8) Ft. Wilderness Campgrounds (via Bus to MK, Ferry to FWC)
- Trail's End for dinner! Hoping for Chef TJ's vegan deliciousness.
9) Art of Animation (via Ferry back to MK, bus to AoA)
10) Disney Springs (via Bus from AoA)
11) Old Key West (via bus from DS)
* If time: Saratoga Springs (via bus back to DS, bus to SS)
12) Polynesian for Wishes, Electrical Pagaent and a Dole Whip!! (via bus back to MK, Monorail to Poly)
13) Port Orleans Riverside (via Monorail back to MK, Bus to POR)

You can boat from Disney Springs to Old Key West, boat back to Disney Springs, and boat from there to Saratoga Springs.

Great suggestion! Thank you - I didn't know that was an option! :)

We'll be there when the Christmas decorations are up, too btw. <3

We are doing the same thing and I will definitely be using your plan for resort hopping. Thanks for posting!

Just a possible tweak to your Monorail Resort plan...

You might consider starting at the Poly, then taking the monorail to the next stop at the GF, then making your next stop the CR. From CR, you could take the boat to WL, and then take the WL ferry to the MK and catch a bus to your next resort. Or you could take the boat from WL back to CR and then walk to the MK.

Also, I believe I read that bus service from SSR to DS has been discontinued. So you would need to take the boat from SSR to DS (and vice versa) or you can walk from DS to SSR in about 5-10 minutes. The walking path from the Marketplace goes directly to Congress Park and it's a nice, easy walk!
