What time does campfire start at Fort Wilderness?

The Campfire Sing-Along with Chip & Dale at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is held near the Meadow Trading Post area of the campground and generally begins around 7 p.m. during the fall/winter season and 8 p.m. beginning sometime in spring through the summer.



Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort typically starts at 7:00 PM during the winter months and often moves to 8:00 PM during the summer to account for later sunsets. This nightly, complimentary event features a fire lighting for marshmallow roasting, a sing-along led by a guitar-playing cowboy, and character appearances by Chip 'n' Dale for photos and hugs. Following the music, a classic Disney movie is shown on a large outdoor screen in the "Campground Cinema." In 2026, it is a high-value strategy to check the current month's "Recreation Calendar" provided at the resort front desk, as times are subject to change based on weather and specific seasonal events, ensuring you don't miss the start of the s'mores-filled fun.
