How to Get to the Chip ‘n’ Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long

There are several ways to visit Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. Those options will depend largely on your starting location. For instance, if you’re coming from a Walt Disney World Resort, you can take a bus to Magic Kingdom and then take the resort watercraft to Fort Wilderness.

Guests of Disney’s Contemporary Resort: Direct boat service is available from the Contemporary to Fort Wilderness after 3:00 p.m. The boat service will drop you off at The Settlement. From there, you’ll walk to The Settlement bus stop and take a bus to The Meadow.

Guests of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge: Direct boat or bus service is available from Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to Fort Wilderness after 3:00 p.m. (The bus is the better option here because you can quickly transfer to a bus that will drop you off at The Meadow.

(Note that some of the boats that run from the Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge are smaller and do not always accommodate wheelchairs or ECVS. More information on Disney’s site: Guests with Mobility Disabilities)

Walt Disney World Resort Guests: The most straightforward option is to take transportation to Magic Kingdom and then take a bus or boat to Fort Wilderness. (Both options are available from Magic Kingdom.)

• If you take a bus from Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot, or Disney Springs, you’ll get dropped off at The Outpost. You’ll need to take a bus from The Outpost to The Meadow.

Tip: From most resorts (other than the Magic Kingdom Resorts), allow an hour and a half to travel from the resort to Fort Wilderness.

Driving Directions: *If driving to Fort Wilderness from off-site, use this address: 4510 N. Fort Wilderness Trail, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830. This will get you to the Outpost parking lot. After you park, you can walk to the Outpost bus stop and take the Orange bus to The Meadow.

It’s a short walk to Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long.

Fun with Chip and Dale Before the Sing-A-Long

On this evening, we arrived a little early. It was almost 5:45 p.m., and a few other families were arriving at about the same time. Usually, the Campfire Sing-A-Long begins at 7:00 p.m. However, Chip and Dale mingle with guests beforehand.

*Disney notes on their site that the sing-a-long and movie are held nightly as weather permits.

By 6:15 p.m., approximately 30 guests had arrived. I was surprised to see so many guests this early. There were still plenty of benches and bleachers for guests at this time. However, the entire area was almost filled up on the night of our visit. Many of the campground guests brought camp chairs and blankets. So, if the weather is chilly, you might remember to bring a few extra things to stay warm after the sun sets.

Chip and Dale came out and played cornhole with a few guests.

The pair played games and greeted guests for almost 30 minutes. They disappeared for a break at around 6:40 p.m. before the sing-a-long started.

During this time, cast members had started a fire in both fire pits for guests to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. Complimentary packages of marshmallows were available. But I noticed many guests had brought their own marshmallows and s’mores kits. Kits are also available for purchase at the resort’s gift shops or the Chuck Wagon Snack Bar. They contain chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. In addition to the snack options, an ice cream truck and snack cart were available on the night of our visit. We saw guests with items like popcorn, hot dogs, sodas, candy, juice, beer, and even nachos! If you have refillable mugs, you can refill them at the nearby Meadow Snack Bar.

The Sing-A-Long

A cowboy joined the stage at 7:00 p.m. By this time, it had gotten dark. Again, the timing for this event fluctuates somewhat during the hotter months when it gets darker later. You can check the resort’s recreation calendar for exact times. They are posted at each of the resort’s bus stops and on billboards near the trading posts.

The cowboy sang a few songs and then introduced Chip & Dale, who joined him on stage. Most of the songs call for audience participation. For example, one song was the Chicken Dance, and most of the guests joined in on the dance. The chipmunks stayed for a few songs and then disappeared for a break. Toward the end of the show, they came back out, and everyone formed a circle around them to do the Hokey Pokey. The sing-a-long lasted approximately 30 minutes. After it was over, everyone was invited to stay for the nightly Movie Under the Stars. The movie is played in the same outdoor theater area.
