Ft. Wilderness: Is This Possible? Backyard BBQ, Campfire, Movie?

[mshanson3121]

Is it possible to do Mickey's Backyard BBQ, the Chip n Dale Campfire and the movie all in one night? Also, do these events run every night? Do they do the campfire even in December if the temperatures get cool (30s/40s?)?

I'm not positive about Mickey's Backyard BBQ but I attempted to do this after Hoop-Dee-Doo and it didn't work out well. After the BBQ you will need to take a bus to the location of the campfire and movie. We arrived just as the campfire was ending and Chip and Dale had already left. Not sure if this is common, just our experience.

That being said, it looks like the BBQ starts 45 minutes earlier than HDD so maybe it's possible.

From what I can see, the BBQ is only on certain days, starting at 5:30 pm. During the winter months the campfire lighting is at 6:30, Chip and Dale come out around 7 for the sing along and the movie starts at about 7:40.

The BBQ and the campfire is a bus ride away, or a walk of about 10-15 minutes. The bus will make a couple of stops along the way but will announce when it gets to the Campfire area. Then it is a short walk from the bus stop.

And as far as I know, they still do the campfire.

The friendly people on the camping thread, where I hang out the most, will be able to answer your question, probably a little better than me.

Since you have lots of Fort Wilderness questions recently you should check the camping thread as suggested by @snowmedic above

lol. I didn't realize two questions was "lots". Since my question had nothing to do with camping, and since lots of people take advantage of Ft. Wilderness activities without staying there, that's why I posted here. But certainly, I guess I can double post it there.

Just trying to help.
For the most part the Fort Wilderness experts hang out there, not here on the Resorts Forum. You will get lots of expert advice there.
