Hi Chris, welcome to planDisney! My family and I love finding new and exciting ways to enjoy our non-theme park days during our
Walt Disney World vacations. These days often include recharging by our favorite
Disney Resorts Collection hotel pool (
Stormalong Bay), resort-hopping on the monorail, or indulging in dining and shopping at
Disney Springs. On our most recent trip, however, we discovered the joy of a little friendly competition at Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, and I’m thrilled to help you plan your mini-golf outing!
The best way to get to the miniature golf courses from
Disney’s Pop Century Resort depends on which course you’re looking to enjoy. For
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, you can use complimentary Disney transportation. Start by taking a resort bus to
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. From there, transfer to a bus headed to
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park. Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is conveniently located in Blizzard Beach’s parking lot, making it just a short walk away. Keep in mind that this bus route only operates when Blizzard Beach is open, so I recommend checking the official website or My Disney Experience app to confirm its hours during your stay. Alternatively,
Disney’s Minnie Van service via the Lyft app or a standard rideshare service can take you directly to the course for added convenience.
For
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf, hop aboard the
Disney Skyliner from Pop Century and glide your way to
EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance. From there, it’s a delightful stroll along
Disney’s BoardWalk to the
Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, where the course is located. You’ll find the scenic walk as much a part of the experience as the mini golf itself! Of course, you can also opt for a Minnie Van or rideshare for a quicker journey.
If you’re heading to Fantasia Gardens, I recommend exploring Disney’s BoardWalk either before or after your mini-golf match. The area is full of fun activities and dining options. Grab a pizza slice at the Pizza Window, savor a sweet treat from BoardWalk Ice Cream, or enjoy live entertainment as you soak in the atmosphere of this lively waterfront promenade.
Chris, I hope this helps you plan your mini-golf adventure! Should you have more questions about your Walt Disney World vacation,
don’t hesitate to reach out again. I’d love to help you plan the ideal visit to the Most Magical Place On Earth!
Cheers,
Brent
