Walt Disney World’s longest running musical theater show at Walt Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Resort is one of a kind — but is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue worth it? Let us break it down for you.

Hoop-Dee-Doo has been entertaining guests for decades with its lively performances, family-style dining, and a down-home charm that’s pure Disney magic. Here’s a little more about it from Travel Planner Christy Kelsch, who recently visited with her family:

A Festive Setting with Frontier Flair

Our visit was around Christmastime, which made the experience even more magical. We arrived early to soak in the cozy ambiance of Fort Wilderness. The rustic holiday decorations in the Pioneer Hall lobby added to the warmth and whimsy of the evening. It’s worth arriving early to explore the surroundings and ease into the experience.

Interactive Entertainment for All Ages

The heart of Hoop-Dee-Doo lies in its hilarious, high-energy show. The cast delivers a crowd-pleasing mix of comedy sketches, live music, and dance numbers. Expect plenty of audience interaction—whether you’re clapping along or getting a personal shoutout, everyone feels like part of the show. Afterward, my kids couldn’t stop laughing — we were all smiling from ear to ear the whole night.

Down-Home Dining Done Right

Let’s talk food: during the show, you’ll get a family style, all-you-care-to-enjoy meal with favorites like crispy fried chicken, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet cornbread, and fresh salad. Adults 21+ can enjoy unlimited draft beer, wine, or sangria (with valid ID), and soft drinks are included for everyone. It’s a satisfying, crowd-pleasing meal that matches the hearty spirit of the show.

Final Thoughts

From the warm welcome to the final curtain call, our night at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue was funny, delicious, and memorable. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning guest, this is one Disney experience that belongs on every family’s vacation bucket list.
