Miniature Golf at WDW

Miniature Golf courses from mediocre to extreme are found all over the Orlando tourist area.  So of course Disney has a couple courses of their own.  With Disney's fantastic storytelling, they're fun for the whole family! At the time of the writing of this article, the prices are $12 for kids ages 3-9 and $14 for adults 10+.

Winter Summerland is located near the Coronado Springs Resort and is right next to Blizzard Beach.  Actually, Blizzard Beach and Winter Summerland share the parking lot.  The story goes, Santa flew over Florida one Christmas Eve, and to his surprise, found snow!  So he and the elves made it their getaway vacation destination.  The only thing it lacked was a golf course.  The elves made two courses: One with snow to remind them of their home in the North Pole, and one with sand for their beautiful home-away-from-home.  Yes, Winter Summerland is actually two courses.  It's fun seeing the work of the "elves" from hole to hole, but that being said, it's all Christmas-themed.  Great for Christmastime, but not our favorite for the other 11 months of the year.

Fantasia Gardens and Fairways is the first Disney miniature golf course and our personal favorite. Though themed after the classic 1940's movie, it's not necessary to have seen the movie to enjoy the course.  It's located next to the Boardwalk and Swan & Dolphin resorts.  It has a whimsical, magical feel to it throughout each hole.



Have fun at your next Disney miniature golf experience!
