Hidden Gem
FootGolf is a Hidden Gem
Most people don't know Disney has FootGolf! It's affordable, fun, and unique. Great for families who aren't into traditional golf. Available at Oak Trail course.
Touring
Book Tee Times Early
Morning tee times go first. Book online at golfwdw.com or call 407-WDW-GOLF. Early morning is best for weather and pace of play. Lake Buena Vista is closed for renovation in 2026, so plan on Palm, Magnolia, or Oak Trail.
Hidden Gem
Mini Golf is Underrated
Most guests skip mini golf but it's a great activity for non-park days or evenings. Both courses are well-themed and fun for all ages. Much less crowded than parks.
Touring
Perfect for Evening Activities
Mini golf, boat rentals, and other activities are great for evenings after parks. Cooler weather and different pace. Good way to relax after busy park day.
Touring
Great for Non-Park Days
Use recreation activities on resort days or when you need a break from parks. Much more relaxing and often overlooked by guests.
