5 Reasons to experience the Chip N' Dale Fort Wilderness Campfire

When we were planning our first trip to WDW, we knew Fort Wilderness was going to be our place to stay. We are campers when we vacation, mostly because of the cost vs. a hotel room, but also because we our kids love the outdoors.

We knew about the campfire program before, but we were so impressed with how it was that we went three more time during our stay, and we tell everyone about it! Here are our top 5 reasons you should give it a try,,,,,,

1. First off it's FREE! 

Any WDW guest is invited to the program. It's an easy boat ride from the Magic Kingdom or the Contemporary Resort, and a short bus ride from the Wilderness Lodge.

2. It's a fun family event for everyone.
Sing along and dance party that old and young enjoy. Everyone knows the words, the cowboy guitar player tells corny jokes, and you are invited to dance along with Chip N' Dale

3. Very relaxed meet and greet with Chip N' Dale

It's not a stand in line, move it along, standard character greet.  Chip N' Dale come to you in your seats, play with and dance with your kids, and are available for pictures. 

4. Only place to have campfire at Fort Wilderness

Each campsite has a small grill, but the only campfires allowed at Fort Wilderness is at the campfire program.  

5. It's a great reason to visit Fort Wilderness for the first time.
Fort Wilderness really is a great place to "escape" the hustle of WDW. It really is like a wonderful remote state park or forest, not a overbuilt private campground.
