Putt Putt and Dole Whips - A Goofy Adventure Day 3 (after the race)


After the half on Saturday, I got some food, took my ice bath, and got a shower.  Then I had to entertain my children for the afternoon.  We had planned to play mini golf one of the days of the weekend, so we headed to Fantasia Mini Golf.  The wait for the Garden course was almost 2 hours, so we made a reservation and went to do some exploring.   

We drove the streets of the half marathon course, which ended up near the Polynesian Village Resort.  Do you know what we can get 
at the Polynesian Village Resort?

DOLE WHIP FLOATS!!




After our little treat, it was just about our tee time, so we made our way back to the golf course.  There isn't much to comment on the golf course.  It was typical Disney magic!  The course was hard, but luckily, we don't play for keeps.  Here are the pictures from our fun-filled afternoon.


Sorcerer Mickey greeted us at the entrance


All of the holes were introduced in rhyme and held a clue to how to beat the hole.
Music notes all the way around the whole. 





The steps on the left played tones as the ball bounced down!!




They tried to get the ball into the mushroom that pops up for at least 10 minutes.







Have you ever seen putt putt water that clean??




This was on the wall of the cave.  So cool!


The statue played a snippet of the symphony when the ball came near.




Can't play putt putt without a selfie.




Russ forgot that you don't stick your hand in the water in Florida. 





The elephant had a little surprise.  Watch the video......



The buckets dropped water.  Luckily, everyone stayed dry.




Lots of people missed the hole.....



Pretty cool finish







We play a lot of putt putt...like every single day on our beach vacations.  Normally we feel rushed from behind or we sit and wait for the people in front of us.  Not so at Disney.  Even with the course pretty crowded, we never felt pressure to hurry up or slow down.  We might have to play putt putt at Disney again next time!
