Walt Disney World Resort Magnolia Golf Course
The best time of the year to play the Magnolia is in the fall. The weather is cooling off and it’s getting close to the time for the PGA Tour event so the course is being groomed into peak condition.

If you'll pardon the pun, there's something totally cool about a Florida water park that's designed to look like a ski resort.

Theme Park Tips
Do the most popular rides early in the morning, moving to the back of the park first. Use peak times in the early afternoon for eating, shopping and shows. Ride lines often slack off toward late afternoon, so save the big attractions you missed in the morning for later.
