Mickeys backyard BBQ, Fort Wilderness
Rating Good
This was our first time here. We picked up the tickets at concierge at the resort a few days before we went. The show is 2TS credits but includes alcohol and tip.
We took the bus to MK and the boat to fort wilderness. They said to allow 1h 30 mins for transport and this was pretty accurate. The bbq is in an outdoor pavilion a short walk from the boat dock.
It started at 6.30pm. The temperature was pleasant for us but it must get hot in summer.
You were shown to a table based on when you arrived.
Then you help yourself to food they had a few buffet lines set up. The food was fine it is definitely counter service standard so hot dogs, burgers, ribs, salad, coleslaw and mac & cheese. We hadnt had any counter service food so it was a change for us and we all were happy with it. On the table were condiments, paper towel etc.
You also helped yourself to soft drinks which were lemonade, water and iced tea (all non fizzy)
There was a bar it was budweiser light limited to 2 cups a person per visit or small glasses of wine.
There was a live band and the characters arrived to dance. It was busy on the dance floor. Every few dances they had a kids only dance think it was for under 10s so little ones got a chance. DD wasnt bothered about dancing happy to watch and eat.
They then announced you could line up to meet the characters outside which DD and I did. They also signed autographs.
The trick rope cowboy came on. All the children sat around the edge DD sat there mesmerised.
Myself and DD then had a dance. DD wasnt bothered about dancing with the characters but it had thinned out a lot at this point and she could have if she had wanted to.
For dessert you could help yourself to Mickey premium bars. They also had ice lollys aswell.
The band play country music I recognised a Charlie Daniels song and some kids dances eg Miley Cyrus Hoedown Throwdown (Boom boom clap).
Myself and DD really enjoyed this. DH said it was ok. To be fair he did seem to spend time sitting at the table whilst myself and DD were off doing stuff. If you have a young daughter and have had the pleasure of watching Hannah Montana the movie the whole thing reminded me of the charity barn party in the film.
Used 6 TS credits
