Vero Beach campfires

[vcasey]

Does anyone what nights they hold the campfires at Vero? Does change from season to season or is it always the same nights? We have just 2 nights reserved there in August and my daughter wants to know if we'll be there on a campfire night.

We did the campfire on a Monday night about 18 months ago. I don't remember what nights they are on, but they do have a list of activities that they can fax to you, so you can plan your days ahead of time.

Just returned from Vero Beach. We spent 3 nights there following the Wonder Cruise. Our nights in VB were Thurs 4/25, Fri 4/26 and Sat 4/27. There were campfires on Friday and Saturday nights. I don't know if there are any others during the other nights.

We have been to VB several times. It all depends on the weather if they have campfires. One year they stopped them because of the drought (that was June). Hope they have ittt when your there, it's fun!

One time when we were there, it was wet out and they held the campfire on the porch with a wood pile and pretend red celophane fire. The effort was greatly appreciated.

The quality of the experience seems to vary widely based on the leaders. We've been to very good ones that were run well, and our kids kept singing the songs a year later "... Hay, my name is Joe, and I work in a button factory..." We have also been to ones that were too brief, and poorly led by a very young adult acting out, yelling in a very strained voice instead of singing, and not doing a very good job. I hope the quality of these experiences is maintained, they can be very nice and worthwhile. I guess the trick is to provide the managers with feedback, so they can coach thier staff appropriately. I think I'll probably time the next one and include it as a part of my feedback. If anyone can put on a show, it should be Disney. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
