If you live in or near Wesley Chapel and you love mini golf, you are in luck.

There's a new spot at Grove at Wesley Chapel, Grove Mini Golf.

Mini golf, to me, is one of those things I don't do all the time, but every time I do, I say to myself, "That was so much fun. We should do that more often."

Roxanne’s Favorite “Less Expensive” Things To Do At Disney When You’re At Disney

Last weekend I took my kids to Disney World. MJ teased me that I was a bad mom for not taking them to the parks. But there's no hard and fast rule that you MUST take your kids to a park while you are staying at Disney World. We found plenty of other things to do that, some of which were free with our stay. My kid are 5 and 2 and they were THOROUGHLY entertained. (These ideas may not work for kids of all ages).

And by the way, I titled this "less expensive" things to do at Disney, but technically, they are all free (with your hotel stay).

1. Ride the Disney Skyliner and Ferries

We spent half a day riding around on Disney transportation and my kids LOVED it. No lines and we got great views of all the Disney properties, from Epcot's Spaceship Earth to MGM's Tower of Terror and all the cool hotel properties.

2. Walk Around Disney Springs

You can walk around and look in all the shops. Of course, you'll spend money on shopping and dining, but you gotta eat, right?! My kids just enjoyed seeing some of the musical performances and all the hustle-bustle.

3. Enjoy the Hotel Pool

If you are at a park all day, you can't even take the time to enjoy a dip in your hotel pool. And they all have cool themes and amenities. At the pool at the Art of Animation Hotel, there were plenty of fun places for the kids to climb on and explore.

4. Relax in Your Room

Again, what's the point of spending all that money on your hotel room if you're only in it to crash after a park firework show, and then you bounce out to hit a park first thing in the a.m. They have colorful themes and furniture. And we packed all of our Disney princess costumes, so one night we just chilled in the room and did fashion shows.

5. Explore the Hotel Prpperty

Whether it's the Animal Kingdom Hotel with all of the animal viewing opportunities or the Art of Animation hotel with photo ops around every corner, take the time to walk around whatever resort you at and take in all the Disney details.
