Campfire

[BSchaal57]

Is there any type of Campfire entertainment for younger children at the Mickey Minnie Campfire?

 

[CampingDad]

Yes it's actually the Chip and Dale campfire singalong. First they light the campfires and you can roast marshmallows. Then the guy comes out and does the singalong with the crowd and Chip and Dale come out and dance and sign autographs. Then they show a Disney movie on the outdoor screen. Tons of fun for kids and adults. A must see.

Actually I always thought it was for us adults and we just brought our children along.








I'm only 9 in Disney years .

And you can make smores and roast hot dogs and buy assorted snack foods at the Chuck Wagon...nachos, beer, soft drinks, etc.
