question about campfire sing a long

[figment301]

Does anyone know if they do Chip and Dale's campfire sing a long in July? There are no times listed on the Disney website. But I have heard that the site is not that reliable with stuff being listed. If it is running, where is it located at Fort Wilderness?

Also, a question for those of you who have done this activity. What time does it start and about how long will it run?

Lastly is it something worth doing?

Thank you

It will be on in July just as it is year round. Schedule will be released in June. The campfire is located next to the Meadow Pool in the center of the campground. Take an internal bus to the Meadow Trading post and get off there.

A tip... Although the sing along starts at 8 during the summer...the cast members host a game like charades, bingo, trivia, corn hole starting at 7 and every time we have gone at 7, chip and dale come out and play with the kids and you can get really great pics. They come out during the sing along but they move quickly during that time

Some of the best evenings in my life were spent at the "theater under the stars" Nothing like a cool winter evening at the outdoor movies while everyone at home is buried in 4 feet of snow.
