Embarking on a magical adventure at Disney’s Wilderness Resort doesn’t always have to break the bank. In fact, our recent family outing proved that with a little creativity and strategic planning, you can experience the enchantment of Fort Wilderness without spending a dime. Our journey unfolded as we took advantage of the free parking perk when dining at the resort’s delectable restaurant, the Roaring Fork.
The Roaring Fork Experience:
Upon our arrival at Fort Wilderness, we decided to indulge in a delightful dinner at the Roaring Fork, where delicious American fare awaited us. The kids were thrilled with their choice of cheeseburgers and fries, setting the stage for an evening filled with excitement and family fun.
Exploring the Campgrounds:
Following our satisfying meal, we hopped on a convenient bus to the campgrounds. Our first stop was the playground, where the kids eagerly burned off some energy. The open spaces and rustic charm of Fort Wilderness provided the perfect backdrop for exploration.
Chip n’ Dale’s Campfire Singalong:
As the sun began to set, we made our way to the Chip n’ Dale Campfire Singalong. Arriving early, we discovered an array of games set up for the kids, including ring toss and cornhole. The highlight, of course, was the chance to make s’mores at the campfires scattered around the venue. Chip and Dale even made a special appearance for a meet and greet, adding an extra touch of Disney magic.
Cowboy Dan’s Entertaining Performance:
With the anticipation building, Cowboy Dan took the stage with his guitar, treating the audience to jokes, songs, and an overall entertaining performance. The atmosphere was lively, and the kids were captivated by the engaging show. To sweeten the deal, a dessert food truck parked nearby offered tempting whipped ice cream treats.
The Electrical Water Pageant Finale:
After the singalong, we boarded the bus back to Fort Wilderness just in time for the grand finale – the Electrical Water Pageant. This mesmerizing aquatic parade navigates through all of the Magic Kingdom area resorts, captivating onlookers with its brightly lit floats and accompanying music. The kids were entranced by the spectacle, and it served as the perfect end to our enchanting evening.
