Illiminatuons from the bridge between Swan&Dolphin?

[g8torphan]

Or between Boardwalk and Beach Club?

Can it be seen, is it worth trying?


Also, suggestions for a round of mini golf followed by a meal at the Boardwalk?

TIA

I have watched Illuminations from the bridge between Boardwalk and Beach Club and its a good view of the higher fireworks. However, much of Illuminations is the fountains and the globe so you miss a lot of it. For a casual meal we really like two of the options in the Dolpin - Fountain and Picabu. There are other great restaurant options all around the Boardwalk area.

I agree with this. If you want to see the entire show, watching from outside is not the best bet. If you just want to see the fireworks at the end, then it's OK but nothing spectacular.

For miniature golf, Fantasia is just across the street from the Swan and the Gardens course is very good and a traditional miniature golf layout. Fairways is more like a regular golf course with putting and slight chipping. If you have younger kids, Winterland Summerland is probably a better bet as Fantasia can be challenging (the Fairways is downright very difficult). But for older kids and especially teenagers, Fantasia Gardens is a hoot.

Just a FYI. If you're one of the folks who booked Free Dining, and had to buy water parks or park hopper tickets, and you chose water parks, then the mini golf option must be started before 4pm. And one round is covered per day (to my knowledge).

Last time we did Fantasia Miniature Golf, it was a busy holiday weekend. We walked up and were given a tee time if we wanted to come back (I think it was an hour away) or we could just wait. We just strolled the Boardwalk area for a while and went back close to our tee time.

Those are ok viewing areas. The Beach Club dock and the bridge from Boardwalk to Beach are ok too.

These are with a wide angle lens so the fireworks appear farther away than they really are.
