Fantasia Gardens, Miniature golf course at Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, US
Fantasia Gardens is a miniature golf facility at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, with two separate 18-hole courses. The two courses differ noticeably in style and difficulty, and both feature water elements and themed decorations along the way.
The facility opened in 1996 as a recreational option for guests of Walt Disney World Resort. It was built during a period when the resort was expanding its offerings beyond the theme parks.
The facility draws from Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia, and figures from the movie appear throughout the courses. Visitors who know the film will recognize familiar characters and scenes as they move from hole to hole.
The facility sits within the resort grounds and is easy to reach from the Boardwalk area on foot. Visiting in the evening is worth considering, as the lighting changes the feel of the courses noticeably.
One of the two courses was designed with more technical holes, including tight angles and uneven surfaces that make it genuinely harder to play. The other follows a garden layout, which makes it a more relaxed round for those who just want to enjoy the setting.
