Hi, Matt! Welcome to planDisney.
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf is one of those hidden gems at Walt Disney World. Tucked just behind the Walt Disney World Swan hotel, it features two fun courses. One course brings scenes from Disney’s Fantasia to life in whimsical ways. My family played this course last year and had a great time. There's another course that’s designed like a real-deal golf course, only in miniature. I've never played it, but I hear it's super difficult! Whether you’re going for laughs or a bit of a challenge, it’s a great spot to unwind outside the parks.
If you’re riding the
Disney Skyliner from Disney's Art of Animation to
Disney's Hollywood Studios, it’s about a 19-minute walk from the Skyliner station to Fantasia Gardens. It’s a similar stroll to the one from EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance.
Here’s a tip: If you're planning to play in the afternoon, try to go earlier or later in the day to avoid the heat, especially if you're tackling the more challenging Fairways course. Florida sun plus mini golf can be a sweaty combo! Evening rounds are especially fun, with cooler temps and the course beautifully lit for a relaxed end to your day.
