Going to one of the mini-putts after 4 p.m.?

[Zombie]

Hello,

I've noticed that both the coupons you get with MYW and with WPM upgrade indicate you have to use the mini-putt courses before 4 p.m. That seems like a strange limitation especially when you have the Water Parks and More upgrade!

Has anyone had any luck with them accepting the coupon or the WPM ticket switch swipe after 4 p.m.? If you are there before 4 p.m. but get on the course later than 4 p.m. does that work? For example, if we went and signed up for a "tee time" and then walked over to Boardwalk to have dinner and went back in the evening?

Also, if anyone has any help on the best way to get to Fantasia Gardens.

We're staying at CSR in September and will likely go to Fantasia Gardens for a round of mini-putt one evening.

Wondering what the best way to get there is? To me it sort of looks like maybe taking the bus to HS and then taking the boat to Boardwalk and walking over?

It sort of looks like maybe you can take the bus to Epcot and then walk there too?

Or are there other options?

Any recommendations on what the closest or best dining options are would be would also be appreciated. I'm assuming DBW restaurants? How far of walk is that from Fantasia Gardens? We're on DDP (FD) so we won't likely do Swan or Dolphin restaurants even though they look closest.

Can you catch a bus or boat from the parks to Swan or Dolphin? And walk over?

We'll likely end up doing the mini-putt at BB just because it looks like direct busing and close to our resort and we'll probably be going to BB anyways. But the Fantasia Gardens course looks a lot more fun/interesting in the pictures. And assuming it might not be as crowded and backed up since it's not right outside a waterpark?

In the description of what is included in the WPF&M option on the ticket purchase page it clearly states that for mini golf it is one round before 4 PM. Mini golf is more popular in the evening so Disney chose to make it a daytime only activity with the WPF&M tickets. You do not get a "tee time" for mini golfing, rather you show up when you want to play so you cannot pay before 4 PM, then return to play after dinner.

Fantasia Gardens is across from the Swan and Dolphin. From a park you can take the bus to the S&D or any of the Epcot resorts and walk across the street to FG. From a resort you can take a bus to DHS, then either the Friendship Boat or walk to the S&D. If you take a bus to the front of Epcot, you would have to walk through Epcot which would require park admission. You can also take a taxi.

Boardwalk and Beach & Yacht Club are adjacent to the S&D so either are a short walk from the Fantasia Mini Golf. Flying Fish is our favorite BW restaurant - excellent food and service. Beaches and Cream is fun, but you will need a reservation because it is very small and very popular.
