Disney4me Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Disney World does not have any shortage of dining options, and with over 200 restaurants on property, you might even experience analysis-paralysis. Space 220 Lunch Spread But there are limited options where you can find a meal and a show! We’re going to go through and provide you with the ULTIMATE guide for Disney World Dinner Shows. Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue Ok, strictly speaking, at the present time, there is only ONE true “dinner show,” and that’s the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness Campgrounds. This is an extravaganza of food and entertainment that the whole family will love. Seriously, it’s hard not to have a good time here. Pioneer Hall Located in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, the setting is a huge barn complete with stage and musical numbers, and there are (literally!) buckets of food for the table to share, serving up an all-you-care-to-enjoy meal of fried chicken (find the recipe here!), ribs, mashed potatoes, and MUCH more. Round up the little ‘uns and get ready for a show! Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue There are typically three showtimes per evening for Hoop-Dee-Doo: 4PM, 6:15PM, and 8:30PM. And there are three seating categories to choose from Category 1: $74 for adults/$44 for Children ages 3 to 9, Category 2: $69 for adults/$40 for Children ages 3 to 9, Category 3: $66 for adults/$39 for Children ages 3 to 9. Pre-payment in full is required. We love that fried chicken! Fort Wilderness can take a while to get to. Take a gander at the bus and boat systems to be sure you have plenty of time to get to Fort Wilderness for your reservation. (And note that Disney recommends you arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled showtime.) If you arrive by car or Disney bus from another park to the entrance of Fort Wilderness, you will need to take an additional bus ride to Pioneer Hall, where Hoop-Dee-Doo is presented. Disney recommends allowing 30 additional minutes for this transfer. Bus Stop at Disney’s Fort Wilderness There are three seating categories that guests may choose from. Categories 1 and 2 offer wheelchair-accessible seating. Every seat in the house offers a great view, but note that Category 3 tables have stools where you must swivel to view the show facing a different direction from your table. The show takes several intermissions, though, for food service… and more eatin’! That said, we recommend seating in Category 1 or 2 to best enjoy the show. Hoop-Dee-Doo is a hootin’ good time! The performances are incredible and very entertaining — there is almost always something to look at or listen to. It’s truly a very special experience that you can’t find in many other places, at least not to this level and theming. The energy in here is just unmatched! Hoop Dee Doo Revue…Review! If slap-stick singalong comedy and endless fried chicken aren’t your things (mysterious…but you do you…), then here are some ways to enjoy different versions of Disney World Dinner Shows. Fireworks Dining Packages It’s a dine and shine experience, as you can nosh on some really amazing food while the sky explodes with colorful fireworks. And even better, you don’t have to stake out a prime seat for the fireworks hours in advance, you can watch them from the comfort of your own table (though you do have to stake out your dining reservation 60 days in advance). Harmonious in EPCOT Fireworks Dining Packages are available for EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and even near Magic Kingdom, so you have no shortage of options — in fact, the hardest might be choosing one instead of all of them!
