Getting from resort to miniature golf

[sunshine1259]

Hi.

I was wondering if there is bus transportation to/from resorts and the miniature golf courses? I will be at the CBR and would like to go to one of the miniature golf courses our first night at WDW. Any suggestions?

There are two mini golf courses, one is across the street from the Swan Hotel and the other is next to Blizzard Beach water park.
The closest to CBR is the one across from the Swan, getting there is a bit of a pain depending on the time you are going and if DHS is still open.
You would have to bus to DHS then either walk (approx 1 mile ) or take the boat from DHS to the Swan and walk from there. (approx 1/4 mile ). Give yourself about an hour to an hour and a half get there and back. Make sure you finish in time to get back to DHS to get bus back to your resort.

Then there is always a cab probably $8-$10 and take about 10 min.

Being that BB will probably be closed when you are planning to play getting to that one will be more problematic. Your only option may be a cab.

Good Luck

Thank you very much. That helps alot. So, basically, if we can get to the Swan then we should not have too much trouble walking across the street to the Fantasia Golf course. Good to know

Not true.

Buses run between Epcot & BB until 11 p.m., so that guests can get to Winter-Summerland when BB is closed. From CBR, just take the bus to Epcot and transfer there to the BB bus. It does take longer, because of 2 buses being involved and because the bus to BB circles CS resort before going to BB.

The only caveat is to finish playing a bit before 11, as the last bus may leave BB right at 11.

As for getting to & from the Swan, you can also transfer at MK or DTD, when DHS is closed. But you cannot transfer at Epcot, as there are no buses from Epcot to the Swan, and getting from the Epcot bus area to the Swan requires entering Epcot with a ticket and walking thru the park.

I stand corrected. "Your BEST option would be to take a cab"
From the entrance of CBR to Fantasia Gardens mini golf is less than 1 1/2 miles. And to Winter/Summerland mini golf is less than 2 1/2 miles.
Yet you can spend up to 3 hours getting there and back.
By cab you will have gotten there, played your round and be back at your hotel before you would have gotten there by buses/boats and walking.

Thanks, All. Now that I know where the Fantasia Gardens is, we shouldn't have too much problems now. We have stayed at the BCR and know about the lack of buses to Epcot. It's just too bad that you can't take buses to/from resorts.

Again thank you all for your input and help.

What's the easiest way to get from Coronado Springs to Fantasia mini golf? We will be coming for our honeymoon and we wanted to give it a try.

Being it is less than a mile and a half away I would say take a cab, it should only take several minutes, and cost just a few bucks.

Congratulations on your wedding. Enjoy your stay at WDW.

From the check-in area, about $5 plus tip.

About a dollar more from a room near the back of the resort.
