There is also a nine-hole walking course called Oak Trail, designed for young golfers. Additionally, here are two themed miniature golf complexes, each with two courses, Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland.
Catch-and-release fishing excursions are offered daily on the Walt Disney World Resort lakes. There is an extra charge associated with these excursions but a Florida fishing license is not required because it occurs on private property. Cane-pole fishing is offered from the docks at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney's Port Orleans Resort.
