PHOTOS & VIDEO: Demolition of Disney's Fantasia Gardens Pavilions Begins

Work on the new 14-story hotel that will soon replace the parking lot of Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf course (as well as the tennis courts of the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin hotels) has been taking place quite slowly in the past few months, yet it looks like crews may finally be moving to the next phase of this major project.

Earlier today, construction crews started demolishing the former "Garden Pavilions" that have been used to host several special events over the past two decades. That area is expected to become the new parking lot for the hotel as well as the adjacent miniature golf course. Check out the photos below:

Crews are currently demolishing the "Dancing Hippo" structure:
