What To Expect
No campfire experience is complete without roasting marshmallows. At Disney Vacation Club Resorts, guests are provided with long sticks to carefully roast their marshmallows over the open flames. Once they’re golden brown and gooey, you can enjoy them as-is or sandwich them between two graham crackers with a piece of chocolate to create the perfect s’more.
Disney’s campfire activities are not just about the fire and food; they are also about fun and music. Cast members lead guests in classic campfire sing-alongs, filling the evening air with laughter and song. You can expect to hear favorite Disney tunes, folk songs, and maybe even a few surprises!
Another delightful part of Disney’s campfire activities is storytelling. Skilled storytellers keep guests entertained with a variety of tales, ranging from classic Disney stories to spooky ghost tales. Depending on the resort, special guest characters might even drop by to join in the fun!
At many Disney Vacation Club Resorts, the campfire experience concludes with an outdoor movie screening under the stars, which is called Movies Under the Stars. Guests can cozy up with their blankets and watch a classic Disney movie on a large outdoor screen. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day of theme park adventures.
One of the most popular campfire activities takes place at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Here, guests can participate in Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long. This event features a visit from the mischievous chipmunk duo themselves, who join in on the singing and fun. After the sing-along, guests can stick around for a Disney movie.
Campfire activities at Disney Vacation Club Resorts provide a unique opportunity to unwind and enjoy some laid-back fun after a day filled with rides, shows, and character meet-and-greets. From the simple pleasure of roasting marshmallows to the joy of singing along with beloved Disney characters, these activities offer something special for everyone. So, next time you visit, be sure to gather around the campfire for a truly magical Disney experience!
