Fort Wilderness has so much to offer on a regular day, but on Halloween, that is the PLACE TO BE! Most campgrounds tend to get really into Halloween all over the country, but Disney campers, that is a special group of people!! Everyone there decorates there camp site bigger than Christmas!
This year the festivities start with a Site Decorating Contest is on Thursday, October 29 from 8:00-10:00 pm.

From 5:00pm - 5:30pm, they have the Annual Golf Cart Parade! All the campers really get into this! Some small, some large. They decorate their golf carts in so many different ways! Here are some pictures I found and a video from last year's parade.
This one is my personal favorite
From 6:30pm-7:00pm they have a Halloween Awards Presentation at the Campfire Theater. They will give awards out for Site Decorating, Pumpkin Carving, and the Golf Cart Parade at this time!
From 7:00pm-9:00pm, you can participate in Camp-or-Treat! This is a super fun version of trick-or-treating, but around all the campsites. YOU MUST sign up to participate at the Bike Barn by 5:00pm (registration opens up at 7:00am). This is open to campers and day visitors. If you are going for the day, you need to sign up early, because once they are at capacity they can not make any promises.

8:00pm, They have the Campfire Sing-A-Long with Chip and Dale
8:40pm, they show a Halloween Movie on the big outside movie screen. This year they will be showing "The Adventure of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" and "HalloweenTown"

WOW this looks so fun. I may have to look into spending a weekend here. A couple of campgrounds in the local area also do a lot over the Halloween weekend, I haven't checked them out either but I really should check out one of them.
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is a great way to explore Disney without all the expenses! Campgrounds usually offer a ton!
