The short answer: Families staying at Fort Wilderness can plan on a complimentary campfire sing-along with Chip ’n’ Dale, followed by an outdoor Disney movie. Bring your own marshmallows and roasting sticks or buy a s’mores kit at the Chuckwagon Snack Bar. Check the front desk for the current start time and movie because the program is weather dependent and can change.
The campfire comes first, then the movie
The evening begins around the campfire. Families roast marshmallows and sing old-time songs led by a guitar-playing cowpoke. Chip ’n’ Dale visit during the program for smiles and character fun. A classic Disney movie follows on a large outdoor screen after dark.
Treat the character visit as part of the shared program instead of a reserved meet-and-greet. Arrive ready to enjoy the songs and campfire even if your child’s hoped-for photo takes patience. Disney can change the entertainment without notice.
A simple order for the night
Get settled, roast first, join the sing-along and then move into movie mode. Keeping the sequence loose makes it easier to handle snack lines, young children and a schedule change.
Bring the parts that matter to your family
Disney lets families bring their own marshmallows and roasting sticks. S’mores kits are also sold at the Chuckwagon Snack Bar. A current kit price is not posted, so decide whether the convenience is worth buying on site instead of counting on an old price.
- Marshmallows and roasting sticks: bring your own or plan to buy a kit.
- Camping chairs or a blanket: optional, because benches are provided.
- Water and a light layer: useful for an outdoor evening, especially after a warm afternoon.
- A small cleanup bag: handy for wrappers, sticky hands and anything you carried in.
Keep the load manageable. Chairs can make the movie more comfortable, but they also have to travel back with you. Families who prefer a quick exit may be happier using the benches.
Ask for tonight’s actual start time and movie
The campfire sing-along and movie are scheduled nightly, weather permitting. It does not publish one permanent start time on the activity page. Schedules can shift with the season, sunset and resort operations.
Check with the front desk at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for the current movie schedule, or call 407-939-5277. Ask about both pieces of the evening: when the campfire program begins and which movie is scheduled. That avoids showing up for the film after missing the sing-along.
Check on the same day
An old calendar can give you the wrong start time or movie. Confirm after you arrive at the resort, then plan dinner and transportation around the answer you receive.
Give rain a place in the plan
The campfire and movie take place outdoors and can be canceled or changed. A promising afternoon forecast does not guarantee the evening program. Check again close to showtime if rain, wind or storms are nearby.
Choose a backup before the children are holding marshmallow sticks. A resort meal, arcade stop or quiet evening at your cabin or campsite works better when everyone already knows it may replace the campfire. Keep the rest of the night flexible rather than stacking a reservation immediately after the movie.
This guide is for Fort Wilderness guests
The plan here is scoped to families staying at Fort Wilderness. If you are staying somewhere else, contact the resort before making a special trip. Ask whether you may participate and how you would arrive under the current rules. Do not assume that event access includes parking or that a prior visit establishes today’s policy.
Guests staying at Fort Wilderness should still allow time to move around the large resort. Get the current activity location and schedule from the resort, then work backward from it. The goal is an easy evening near your lodging, not a last-minute race across property.
Use Disney’s current campfire activity page for the basic program, then confirm the live details with Fort Wilderness.
