Chip 'N' Dale's
Campfire Sing-A-Long at Fort Wilderness
After six — yes, six — years of trying to make our way to Chip ’n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long, we finally made it happen during our 2014 Disney vacation. We were staying at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for the first part of our Walt Disney World stay, and getting to slow down around the campfire with our favorite chipmunks felt like the perfect way to enjoy everything this resort has to offer.
Since then, we’ve returned several times, and each visit has brought its own special memories. We’ve shared laughs with new Disney friends (including the mom friends who generously shared their “purse beverages” with us during one visit), and we returned again on our first Disney trip after losing Jewels, giving the middle kids the chance to experience this classic Fort Wilderness tradition for the first time.
Some Disney memories are about the big moments. Others are about sitting around a fire, roasting marshmallows and soaking in the magic together.
Our First Fort Sing-A-Long
Take a peek at our very first visit to Chip ’n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort! After years of saying “we need to do that someday,” we finally made it happen — and this cozy evening of campfire fun quickly became one of our favorite Fort Wilderness traditions.
Chip ’n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long is one of those classic Fort Wilderness experiences that feels a little different from the rest of Walt Disney World. The evening begins around the campfire with guests roasting marshmallows, enjoying snacks and settling in for a relaxed night of Disney entertainment under the stars.
After the fire gets going, the campfire host entertains the crowd before Chip ’n’ Dale make their grand entrance. The mischievous chipmunks spend some time on stage before heading out to visit with guests around the campfire area. If meeting both characters is a must-do, keep an eye on where each one heads because they may not visit every area.
Once the character fun wraps up, guests are invited to join Chip ’n’ Dale for some music and dancing before the evening winds down with a Disney movie under the stars.
A Few Tips…
- While most Disney resorts offer up free marshmallows and sticks at their nightly campfire, the Fort does not, so if you want to save a little green, bring your own.
- If you do decide to bring your own s’mores supplies, remember to pack roasting sticks or plan to purchase them at The Chuck Wagon (located at the campfire).
- If you’re visiting Fort Wilderness just for the evening, parking near the campfire area is very limited. Plan to park at the front of the resort and take the internal bus transportation.
- The campfire area is located near Meadow Trading Post, so it’s a convenient spot to grab any last-minute snacks or supplies before heading over.
