The Definitive Campfire Ranking: Comparing the Top 5 Campfires in WDW
Each Disney resort hosts a magical evening campfire for guests to roast complimentary marshmallows, make their own Mickey s’mores, and chat with cheerful Cast Members. I’ve been lucky enough to experience every single resort’s campfire activity, and if you’ve been following @MagicalResortGuide on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve seen my recent series of posts with photos and reviews of each resort campfire. They’re all a fun time and worth visiting, but now I’m ranking my top five campfires and letting you know which ones are my absolute favorites!
African Mosaic Art: A Wildly Colorful Craft at Kidani Village
Mosaic art is quickly becoming one of the most popular resort crafts, and the opportunity for guests to create their own mosaics has been popping up at multiple resorts around Walt Disney World.
Hidden Character Hunts: Find a Friend at Disney Resorts
An adorable new activity has been popping up at select Disney Resorts lately! Cute character cut-outs are hiding around the resorts, and they’re moved to a new hiding place every day. Guests are invited to search the resort and find these characters to receive a prize!
Painting Ceramics: A Classic Community Hall Craft
If you have any downtime outside of the parks planned - like a resort-only day, hanging out at a resort Community Hall for a few hours for an afternoon break, or even if you’re stuck inside on a rainy day - one of the top go-to activities is ceramic painting! Ceramic painting is available at any Community Hall, every single day from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM.
Gem Mining Experience: A Fort Wilderness Hidden Gem!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort is one of the best places to be if you’re planning a resort-only day, and the L&B Gem Mining Co. Experience is an amazing addition to your Fort Wilderness activity itinerary. This is truly a “hidden gem” of an activity that doesn’t get much attention, but it’s so unique (and a perfect fit for anyone that collects gems, fossils, arrowheads, shark teeth, or rocks)!
Spanish Mosaic Art: Creative Inspiration at Coronado Springs
Mosaic crafts have recently exploded in popularity around Disney resorts, and opportunities to create your own Disney mosaic can be found in several different resorts now - but did you know that this activity originally began at Coronado Springs? This has become a hard-to-get reservation, but I managed to snag an appointment to try it out!
