Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Disney Parks Blog is having its first ever "under the stars" movie meet-up tomorrow night at Fort Wilderness: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2016/08/sign-up-for-disneys-petes-dragon-under-the-stars-meet-up-at-walt-disney-world-resort/ Sign Up for Disney’s ‘Pete’s Dragon’ Under the Stars Meet-Up at Walt Disney World Resort by Thomas Smith, Editorial Content Director, Disney Parks Update: This event has filled to capacity. Please keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for future event opportunities. The Disney Parks Blog is hosting one of its most unique meet-ups of the year to celebrate the reimagined Disney family film, “Pete’s Dragon” before it opens in U.S. theaters. Our first-ever “under the stars” movie screening will be held outdoors at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground at the Walt Disney World Resort on Wednesday, August 3, 2016. The Disney Parks Blog hosted meet-up begins at 7:30 p.m. ET at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground at the Walt Disney World Resort on Wednesday, August 3, 2016. At the event, you’ll be able to view Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” film. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence, Isiah Whitlock, Jr. and Oscar® winner Robert Redford. To learn more about the film, visit our earlier story. RSVP for the meet-up now by clicking here. Only one guest is permitted. A limited number of attendees may attend the meet-up, so be one of the first to sign up. This is a private event sponsored by the Blog, and required guests to sign-up yesterday. Registration is now closed. I wonder if they are going to be doing this at the campfire area? If so, what happens to regular Fort Wilderness guests?

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 The Disney Parks Blog and others posted photos on Instagram showing the set-up for the Pete's Dragon meet-up. They set up chairs and a screen behind Pioneer Hall facing Bay Lake: And, they had a Ranger Donald Duck meet and greet: It looks like the National Parks Service had a display and table there: They're lucky that the weather cooperated. Looks like it was a fun event. TCD Link to post Share on other sites
