At Disney World's Ft. Wilderness Resort & Campground you will find a fun evening activity that is FREE for the family.
Each evening Ft. Wilderness hosts Chip 'n Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long & Campfire. This activity includes:
- A campfire where you can roast marshmallows.
- A fun sing-a-long session with old favorite songs that make you feel like you are at camp.
- A chance to see Chip & Dale and have your photograph taken with them and have them sign your autograph books.
- After the sing-a-long a Disney Movie is shown on the big outdoor screen, like the drive-ins of the past.
The rustic setting of the Ft. Wilderness Campground makes a great setting for this event. You do not have to be staying at the campground to participate. Any Disney Guest can attend for free.
To get there either drive to the main Ft. Wilderness parking lot or take a bus from one of the parks or Downtown Disney to Ft. Wilderness. Then board one of the Yellow line internal buses to the 1500 area Bus Stop.
If you don't remember the stop, tell the bus driver that you are going to the Chip & Dale Campfire and they will let you know where to go.
During the campfire phase of the program starting at 7:30 pm, you may roast marshmallows that you brought with you or you may purchase them from the Chuckwagon.
At 8:00 pm the Sing-A-Long starts. A guitar playing cowboy led the crowd in a number of old favorites and then he was joined by Chip & Dale. During the program Chip & Dale went through the audience allowing each family to meet with them, take pictures, and sign autographs.
After the sing-a-long ended things got prepared for the movie to start at 9:00 pm. During the night we attended Bolt was the movie for the night. A schedule was posted and there was a different Disney Movie playing each night of the week. Show times may change during different times of the year, so please check for exact times while you are visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. Also remember that this event takes place outdoors, so dress appropriately.
The setting and the entertainment wasn't fancy, but it was good wholesome family entertainment. The trip to visit Ft. Wilderness Resort and the show was definitely worth doing for an evening.
This is a good way to slow down and relax, doing something different. It is also great that this is an evening of free entertainment (unless you don't bring your own marshmallows and choose to purchase them there.)
Great review guys, enjoyed the read and the pics.
