Campfire MiniMeeko VIII

Come one, come all to Fort Wilderness by ferry, by bus, by car, etc. It's the rec.arts.disney.parks 8th Annual Campfire MiniMeeko Meet at the Fort Wilderness Campfire Program at the campfire area near the Meadows Trading Post. Bring your appetite for fun as we get set to toast marshmallows, sing songs with the kiddies under the stars and enjoy a Disney film the way it was meant to be -- in a family friendly atmosphere of campfire fun. Bring your hats and gloves (and your cash for hot cocoa moo if you want to purchase something from the Chuck Wagon behind the bleachers) because honestly it sometimes gets downright chilly. Campfire sing-a-long starts at 7PM. Chip & Dale have been known to make an appearance to help up stage... er, sing with the singer and kids. In the event of rain, no movies will be shown but the sing-a-long will take place on the porch of the Meadow Trading Post. The film is TBA (the schedule will not be known until December 1st). Usually there's some kind of Chip & Dale or Donald cartoon before the feature Disney film. Afterwards, we walk down to the Fort Wilderness beach to watch the Electrical Water Pageant.
