Mickey’s Backyard BBQ ended after about 20 years at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. While considered a dinner show, it was very different than the neighboring Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, which is one of the longest running dinner shows in the United States. Yet Mickey’s Backyard BBQ offered entertainment in the form of a band that was there for over 20 years, Cowboy Trevor for about 19 years, and some favorite Disney characters – along with a buffet of barbecue favorites like ribs, chicken, and hamburgers. Here is a look at the last show that played on New Year’s Eve, 2018. I am not sure what the opening date was, but I believe my first visit to Mickey’s Backyard BBQ was in 1999. And there are already rumors that the show could return at some point in a different location at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground, so we’ll see!
We will have a segment about Mickey’s Backyard BBQ on our next Weekly YouTube Show and I will embed that after.
This was only the third time I’ve been to Mickey’s Backyard BBQ over the years, although we spend a fair bit of time at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground (and visit Trail’s End a few times per year). I generally found the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue a more fun experience for a similar price point, though the last two Mickey’s Backyard BBQ visits were worth the price when including the entertainment, unlimited beer, sangria and wine, and even a variety of Disney ice cream treats as part of the buffet. Back in 2011 we enjoyed a Halloween version of the event.

The Fort Wilderness Pavilion will be disappearing to make way for the upcoming Disney Vacation Club resort. We were told the stables at the Settlement would go too.
These were ticket windows for River Country, which was the first water park at Walt Disney World. I don’t visit a lot of water parks so I personally don’t have as much experience with River Country as Jeff does.
We were let in a little early for dinner. There was no tiered seating on this day because it was a holiday.

4 or 5 years ago, all the dinner shows started offering Yuengling and Beso del Sol Sangria as part of their included alcohol offerings. This was an upgrade for the sangria and beer and probably for the wine as well.
Mickey and other characters were out on the dance floor or meeting guests for at least half of the meal. They also stayed after the event to greet guests.
Here is a look at some of the food. The variety was decent and included smoked chicken. I am not showing all the food items (but some), this isn’t a review since the show is now over but more just documenting the last day.

Small pieces of corn were also included. Everything was good, similar to going to Trail’s End but not exactly the same food. There was also macaroni and cheese and baked beans.
If that isn’t enough dessert, then strawberry shortcake was also provided. I think the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue still has the best strawberry shortcake.
And at the regular beverage station that offered soft drinks and iced tea, references were made to Disney history – including Elias & Sons.

We actually met them a year or two back during the Fourt of July in these costumes, I believe at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
Chip, Dale and Goofy were next – Chip and Dale held puppets that a couple brought, with their Backyard BBQ liknesses. I think Goofy held a Tsum Tsum.
It was a nice way to spend New Year’s Eve. Actually, pretty much everything we did during Christmas week through New Year’s at the parks and resorts wasn’t too busy.

Pioneer Hall with the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue and Trail’s End are supposed to stay, and it’d be nice to get back to the Hoop-Dee-Doo because I haven’t been in like 4 years now. This was a nice way to spend New Year’s Eve, though also a little sad as history makes way for change.Howdy, partners! You may know that Mickey, Minnie and friends kick up their heels with guests at Mickey’s Backyard BBQ at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. But did you know for the rest of the season, they’ll be serving up fun four days a week? Additional dates have been added; in addition to Thursday and Saturday’s, you can now book Tuesday and Friday, too!
This all-you-care-to-enjoy picnic features finger-licking BBQ favorites like barbecued ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, fresh corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese and new dishes like jambalaya, honey-mustard baked chicken and a selection of salads and kid-friendly veggies. If dancing up a storm makes you thirsty, quench it with a large selection of ice-cold sodas and soft drinks. Adults can enjoy Bud Light and Yuengling draft beers, Chardonnay, Merlot, White Zinfandel and Red Sangria included with dinner. For dessert, look for a new warm fruit cobbler or strawberry shortcake (when it’s in season) in addition to the popular Mickey-shaped ice-cream bars and other frozen treats.
Dance the night away with a live country-western band and character appearances throughout the night. The character meet and greet area has also been enhanced to allow for more time with your favorite characters for photos and autographs.
