At Disney World's Ft. Wilderness Resort & Campground you will find a fun evening activity that is FREE for the family. Here you can meet Disney Characters Chip 'n' Dale and have a great family friendly time in an old fashioned setting.
With all of the technology and resources at Disney's disposal you may be surprised by this popular, but not well publicized Disney World Attraction. Here is where Disney shines just by doing the simple things correctly. They have great Cast Members interacting with guests and provide wholesome entertainment that families can enjoy together.

Each evening Ft. Wilderness hosts Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long & Movie. 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 'n' 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 Resort & 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.
If you don't remember the stop, tell the bus driver that you are going to the Chip 'n' Dale Campfire and they will let you know where to go.
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 'n' Dale. During the program Chip 'n' 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.
Disney World Is For Families
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.)
Despite all of the luxury entertainment options that you can indulge in at Disney World, it is the simple, family pleasing attractions like Chip 'n Dale's Sing-A-Long that bring families back to Disney World again and again, year after year.
Just be aware that if there is ANY lightning in the area, even if it's distant, they will cancel the show. We tried two times to go to the sing-a-long. Both nights we roasted marshmallows and waited, only to be told by a CM that the show would not go on because of lightning in the area. Instead they showed a couple short cartoons on the screen. There was no rain, no severe weather at Disney at all, although we could see some flashes of lightning in the distance. If they were OK with a hundred guest sitting out watching cartoons, why couldn't Chip and Dale and the singer perform? Very disappointed. Beware of weather if you plan to go!
