Jessica:
Thanks for coming to the Mom's Panel!
Bus transportation from the All-Star Resorts allows you to relax and let someone else do the work. But the best part of taking a Disney bus is that you'll be let off close to the entrance of each park. Below are the approximate ride times to each park, but keep in mind that you may have to wait up to 20 minutes for a bus:
* Animal Kingdom: a little over 20 minutes
* Epcot: a little under 20 minutes
* Hollywood Studios: a little under 20 minutes
* Magic Kingdom: about 25 minutes
There are two miniature golf courses at Disney,
Winter Summerland near the entrance to Blizzard Beach and
Fantasia Gardens across the street from the Swan Hotel. To get to Winter Summerland is a straight shot; just take the bus from the All-Stars to Blizzard Beach. The route to Fantasia Gardens is a bit more tricky as you'll ride the bus to Downtown Disney and then transfer to the bus headed to the Swan Hotel.
Wishing y'all a magical vacation!
