Hi Emily, and welcome back to planDisney! October is a BOO-tiful time to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth, so I’d be happy to help with your planning question.
Let’s figure out when you can roast some marshmallows! I checked the recreation schedules for the three All-Star Resorts and the campfires currently run on the following days:
All-Star Sports: 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (outside Stadium Hall near the Touchdown! buildings)
All-Star Music: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (near the Calypso Pool Deck)
All-Star Movies: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (between Fantasia Buildings 5 and 8)
That means, if the schedule stays the same, the Touchdown! Campfire will be running at All-Star Sports on Monday, October 13th. However, the timing can always change, so I’d recommend checking the recreation schedule when you get to your resort hotel. It’s usually located in the lobby or near the pool area. My family loves stopping by the campfire to roast a sweet treat. Marshmallows are complimentary, and you can upgrade to s’mores by purchasing a kit with chocolate and graham crackers.
I love that there are so many activities at the resort hotels without even going to the theme parks. One of my favorites is the Design Your Own Mosaic, which is currently offered at All-Star Music on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. for a fee and is open to guests ages 12 and up. While you don’t need to pre-register, Cast Members recommend getting there 15 minutes before the start time to sign up. I made a mosaic at the Contemporary Resort earlier this year, and it was such a fun keepsake to bring home! I have mine hanging in my kitchen now to remind me of my trip.
And before I go, don’t forget that as a
Disney Resort hotel guest, you get
free water park admission on check-in day this year! It’s such a great way to kick off your vacation while staying cool. It’s still pretty hot in Florida right now!
I hope you have a magical stay at All-Star Sports next month! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome at planDisney.
