The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, is a one-of-a-kind dining experience that merges classic American fare with lively entertainment. Most importantly, it offers not just a meal, but an evening of laughter, song, and dance—a perfect way to take a break from the parks.
Setting and Atmosphere
First, the rustic charm of Fort Wilderness sets the tone as you approach Pioneer Hall, where the Hoop-Dee-Doo is performed. The building itself exudes an old-time frontier vibe, complementing the show’s Western theme.
Next, the seating arrangement is cozy and family-friendly, with long tables to encourage camaraderie. The environment is vibrant, filled with the sounds of laughter, applause, and live music.
The Show
This is not your average dinner show—Hoop-Dee-Doo delivers a high-energy performance, with a talented cast that brings vaudeville-style entertainment to life. More importantly, the show features a mix of slapstick comedy, audience participation, and delightful musical numbers.
With more than 45 years of history, it’s a beloved tradition for many Disney fans.
Throughout the show, the actors break the fourth wall, inviting audience members to join in the fun. The comedy is light-hearted, with plenty of jokes to keep both children and adults entertained. The music ranges from toe-tapping country tunes coupled with heartfelt ballads, all performed with gusto.
The Food
Next, let’s talk about the food! This is more than just a show folks, Hoop Dee Doo is a dining experience!
Served family-style, the menu is an all-you-can-eat feast of comfort food classics. The meal begins with freshly baked cornbread and a mixed green salad. The cornbread, warm and slightly sweet, is the perfect prelude to the main course.
Then comes the main event: fried chicken, smoked BBQ pork ribs, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and seasonal vegetables. The fried chicken is golden and crispy, and the ribs are smokey. The sides complement the main dishes perfectly, with the mashed potatoes being creamy and the baked beans offering a smoky, tangy sweetness.
Finally, for dessert, a generous helping of strawberry shortcake is served—light, fluffy, and topped with whipped cream. It’s a sweet way to end a hearty meal.
