Everyone knows about the awesome attractions, shows and parades at Walt Disney World® Resort, but did you know there are tons of fun things to do outside the Theme Parks, too? Magical carriage rides, relaxing spa time, exciting sporting events and unique shopping and dining experiences are just a few of the possibilities. Expand your vacation with these fun things to do—no Park ticket required!

Giddy Up and Go

Think only the royals can enjoy a horse-drawn carriage? Think again! Magical carriage rides will take you through lush forests at Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Or perhaps you prefer to do the riding? Hop on a horse and take a leisurely trail ride around Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, exploring nature and spotting adorable woodland creatures along the way. Perfect for guests 9 years old and older, and for beginner and intermediate riders.

Cardmember Tip: Use your Disney® Visa® Credit Card to receive 10% off the non-discounted price of carriage and horseback trail rides.¹²

It’s Tee Time

Whether you’re a serious golfer or a family who loves putt-putt, you’ll find the perfect course at Walt Disney World® Resort. Seasoned athletes may want to take on the challenging Magnolia Golf Course, featuring majestic trees and—beware!—97 bunkers. The 9-hole walking Oak Trail Golf Course offers traditional golf for casual players and also something brand new the whole family will enjoy: FootGolf, a combination of soccer and golf! Instead of golf clubs, you use your feet to kick a soccer ball into 21-inch cups in as few shots as possible.

At Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf, families can putt their way through a fun course lined with tutu-clad hippos and test their skills with sand traps and water hazards. And if you can’t decide if you want snow or sunshine, Winter Summerland Miniature Golf at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park offers both—two 18-hole courses designed by Santa and his elves. Ho-ho-hole in one!
