When looking for fun things to do with the family at Walt
Disney World, beyond going to one of the theme parks, why not think golf?...
mini-golf, that is. The resort boasts
two fun, ultra-themed miniature golf courses: Fantasia Gardens, located across
the street from the Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin
resorts; and Winter Summerland, located adjacent to Disney's Blizzard Beach
Water Park, in the area of the Animal Kingdom Resorts. Both offer a fun-filled
time, at a relatively low cost. Oftentimes, depending on your resort package,
guests might even be given a discount.
Annual Passholders also can get a discount.
Disney's Fantasia Gardens features two courses, both
themed to Walt Disney's animated classic film, "Fantasia": "The Hippo-est Golf Around," and
Fantasia Fairways, "A Miniature Golfing Adventure." Fantasia Gardens features pirouetting
gators, tutu-clad hippos and dancing water fountains. Fantasia Fairways is more of a putting course
designed around skill than chance; holes
include "Ave Maria", "Rite of Spring", "Ostrich
Island" and "Ballet of the Bunkers."
Getting to Fantasia Gardens is not very complicated,
though at first blush you might think so, especially if you haven't gone there
before. If staying at an Epcot area resort, simply walk over to the Swan and
Dolphin via the Crescent Lake bridge, and then cross the street. If not at an Epcot area resort, you'll need
to take a bus to one of those resorts (depending on where you are at at the
time), or you can go to Disney's Hollywood Studios and then take a boat up to
the Swan and Dolphin. It's a great way to spend an evening (followed by time
along the Boardwalk!), or part of an afternoon.
So far we've only done the Fantasia Gardens course, but hope to try the
Fantasia Fairways in the future.
