Hi Shirley,
Thank you so much for visiting planDisney with your Walt Disney World vacation planning question. It sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned, with a stay at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village followed by some time at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. These are both lovely resorts with spacious villas for you to relax in and use as your home base for a wonderful Walt Disney World vacation!
For miniature golf at Walt Disney World, there are two options. You can check out
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, which features two miniature golf courses, each about Christmas and one themed to winter and the other to summer. Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is located right next to Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. The other option is
Fantasia Gardens & Fairways Miniature Golf, where there is a course with the theme of the amazing movie
Fantasia as well as a more traditional "miniature" golf course with items such as sand traps and bunkers. Fantasia Gardens & Fairways Miniature Golf is located near to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels. My family has partaken in miniature golf at both of these locations, and I have to tell you, we thoroughly enjoyed both! I would pick the one that has the more appealing theme for you, or is closer to where you are planning to be on any given day.
In terms of a
birthday celebration at Walt Disney World, these can be accommodated at many Walt Disney World table-service restaurants. The link I just provided gives information on ordering birthday cakes for your celebration. You can also work with
Disney Floral & Gifts to create a unique birthday gift for your guest of honor. We have celebrated many birthdays at Walt Disney World with the help of chocolate cake and Minnie Mouse plush animals!
I hope that these thoughts are helpful for you, Shirley. Please do come back if you have any further planning questions!
