Hey there, Destiny! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Thanks for stopping by to bring us your question.
I love that you are planning a visit to Disney Springs on arrival day! That’s my family’s tradition every visit. Add to that a visit to one of the magical mini-golf courses nearby, you are going to have an awesome start to what will surely be an unforgettable vacation to the most magical place on earth!
Destiny, when I checked for the directions and travel time estimate on
My Disney Experience app, it looks like your easiest bet will be Disney’s Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf which is located by the Epcot Resort area and closer to Disney Springs. If you plan to go from your resort hotel to Fantasia Gardens, the app is showing an estimated travel time of 70 minutes. And from there to Disney Springs an approximate travel time of 37 minutes.
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is just a few additional minutes of travel time if you were leaning towards mini-golfing there. But Fantasia Gardens is a personal favorite! Disney's Fantasia is one of my dad’s favorite movies so the detailed theming inspired by the film that you’ll find throughout the course is pure magic for my crew!
These travel times are based on Disney’s Complimentary transportation, but if you wish to travel a little quicker, and in style,
the new Minnie Van transportation service will accommodate your crew and get you there in less time.
I hope you have an absolutely magical time on your arriving day and during the rest of your visit. Be sure to explore Disney Springs world class shopping and dining and the world’s largest Disney Store, World of Disney, while there.
