Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf

For such a significant entry into the Disney film canon, Fantasia hasn't a huge presence at any of the Disney theme parks.  One notable attraction though is the Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf at the Garden Pavilions.  

It looks beautiful.  There are 18 holes themed around various segments from Fantasia, namely: Toccata and Fugue, The Nutcracker Suite, Pastoral Symphony, Dance of the Hours and, naturally, The Sorcerer's Apprentice.  There are statues, topiary and floorings reflecting each piece of animation.  There are various twists and turns to each of the holes and they involve music and water effects which are triggered by the golf balls.  It's apparently open all day and into the night but is very popular of an evening with waiting times of over an hour to play!  I can imagine it is a popular destination for people leaving the parks during the day for something different to do of an evening so can well believe the advice in one video I found suggesting you get there early.

I note there are not any holes based around the dinosaur or Night on Bare Mountain segments - not surprising as they're a little dark for a mini golf attraction!

This is not an attraction I have visited, but on the basis of the Youtube videos I have found it is definitely something I would want to visit when we return to Florida.
