First off, we clearly need to have a cutest-ever-fat-girl-swimsuit contest. Or if not a contest, a fashion show. Bless you, Torrid.
Curses! You are staying at the AKL, you lucky wench. It is an incredible space and I was entranced by it-- and someday want to stay there. We spend an evening at Boma and exploring the back forty of the property. There are comfy rocking chairs and firepits and nocturnal animals aplenty.
You are probably used to the DL span of things, but be forewarned that WDW is much wider a collection of parks. It's not all crammed in, which is nice, but there's a longer walk... well... everywhere. If you are going to, say, spend the morning tooling around MGM followed by a hustle to catch an E-ticket at Epcot and a dash back to MGM's Fantasmic! and then a boat back to Epcot before it closes, you may find yourself collapsed in a heap the next day.
There are some fun places you haven't listed yet. The Sci-Fi drive-in was quite a fun meal, and I think the atmosphere would be to your liking. California Grill is a lovely place to eat and see fireworks; the beach at the Polynesian is another fireworks-watching spot (they pipe in the music in both locations.) We ate the dinner buffet at Cape May, and it was more than delightful if you like the east coast clambake kind of thing. I found the oreo truffles there to be superior to the zebra domes at Boma, if you can believe it. Of course, Boma is terrific and you'll enjoy it. I suspect that the PSes for Victoria and Albert's are already snapped up, but if it's in your budget, it's the best meal I've ever had. Anywhere.
As far as I've heard recently, they're doing a fair amount of fastpass tests at the different parks, so be wary. Kevin Yee on MiceAge has reported that MK is letting in a 50-50 balance of fastpass-standby so it seems hardly worth it there. Supposedly Epcot is allowing you to get many fastpasses at a time, tapping out the machines early in the day. Try to keep updated about what they're doing, or ask a pleasant-seeming CM.
