What’s Cooking at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Reopening June 23

The wait is nearly over! It’s almost time to raise the curtain and bring on the food once again at a true classic at Walt Disney World Resort. Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue will soon be opening its doors once again on June 23 for a musical extravaganza accompanied by a family-style feast. Over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, Guests will find Pioneer Hall and within its walls the Pioneer Hall Players who are ready to dance and sing their way into the hearts of our Guests!

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue plays host to some of the best comfort food around. As the gang brings on the tunes, the servers bring on the food. Not to mention, it’s all-you-care-to-enjoy with fountain drinks and for those over 21, red and white sangria, draft beer, and wine are also included!

Whether Guests have never experienced it before or they’ve been longing for its return, this outing is not one to be missed upon reopening. 

Alrighty, it’s showtime! Let’s get into the food and drinks soon to be served up at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.

Once Guests sit down, they better have your appetite ready because the feasting begins right off the bat. The Hoop Salad is simple yet incredibly satisfying with the signature “hoop” vinaigrette topped with sharp white cheddar, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The House-made Cornbread with delicious honey butter is to die for. Guests can also nibble on the tasty Creamy Coleslaw before the main course graces their table. 

The tastebuds are in for a real treat because once Guests see what dishes will lie before them, they’ll want to chow down immediately! First up, we’ve got the Pecan-smoked BBQ Pork Ribs with BBQ sauce. This dish is a BBQ-lovers dream with delicious flavors that just melt in the mouth. The other main plate is the one, the only – the Legendary Fried Chicken – and it tastes just like how it sounds … legendary. 

What dinner is complete without some yummy side dishes? Hoop-Dee-Doo brings its A-game to the stage with its accompaniments. The Cornbread-crusted Macaroni and Cheese is an explosion of flavors and truly is the ultimate comfort food and the Home-style Mashed Potatoes pair perfectly with the fried chicken and pork ribs. And rounding out the sides is a classic – Cowboy Beans because you can’t have some BBQ without some beans!

And now for the grand finale, the delectable ‘Ma’s Famous Strawberry Shortcake topped with whipped cream and strawberries. This can’t-miss dessert is a staple of Pioneer Hall and is the perfect way to finish up your foodie evening.

Guests with dietary needs or restrictions for any of these eats should let the chef know when they check-in and they’ll get an alternative dish that’s just as delicious to enjoy while watching the show!

Now that we’ve talked about the food, we’ve got to discuss the drinks! In addition to the included beverages Guests can enjoy, there are a few new adult beverage options to sip on for an added cost. Try the new The Giddy-Up cocktail featuring the hall barkeep’s blend of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, and freshly brewed iced tea. Guests can also choose from an assortment of locally crafted beers including Tampa Bay Brewing Elephant Foot IPA, Cigar City Jai Alai IPA, Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale, Orange Blossom Pilsner, Central 28 UnderDuck Lager, and 3 Daughters Brewing Blonde Ale.

Pricing & Showtimes Revealed for Disney’s Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

This summer is going to be an exceptional one at Walt Disney World Resort! If you’re in the mood for some “Frontier-Style Family Fun”, Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is making its grand return to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground with pricing and showtimes now available.

While we were sad to learn Spirit of Aloha at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is officially closed for good to make way for a new Polynesian Resort tower, we were thankful when Disney announced it would be returning at least one of its former two dinner show offerings.

Disney previously announced that Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue will make its grand return on June 23, 2022, making all of us Disney foodies relieved to see the return of this nostalgic dining experience.

The dinner show is held in Pioneer Hall where Guests gather for an all-you-care-to-enjoy feast of fried chicken, smoked BBQ, and pork ribs with savory sides such as tossed green salad, cowboy beans, fresh-baked cornbread (YUM!), macaroni and cheese, and creamy coleslaw. Top off the meal with Hoop-Dee-Doo’s famous strawberry shortcake! Plus, let’s not forget the opportunity to enjoy unlimited draft beer, wine, and sangria for Guests 21 years and up.

While the food is exceptional, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Pioneer Hall Players take center stage for 2 hours of “rousing Wild West dancing, singing, and zany comedy.” The fun-spirited dinner show has been a family favorite for years with its ability to keep the audience entertained and bellies satisfied. You won’t be able to resist clapping, laughing, and singing along!

Pricing

How much is this Disney experience going to cost? Pricing for Hoop-Dee-Doo is broken down into three categories:

  • Category 1: $74 (ages 10 years and older); $44 (ages 3-9)
  • Category 2: $69 (ages 10 years and older); $40 (ages 3-9)
  • Category 3: $66 (ages 10 years and older); $39 (ages 3-9)

It is recommended that you splurge for Category 1 per Guest if at all possible as it puts you front and center with all the action. We will say, however, that there really isn’t a bad seat in the house! The experience is a perfect way to enjoy exceptional Walt Disney World dining with entertainment outside of a Disney Park.

The dinner show pricing isn’t returning with a massive price increase. In 2019, Category 1 cost $72 for adults and $43 for children, Category 2 was $67 for adults and $39 for children, and Category 3 was $64 for adults and $38 for children.

Reservations for Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue go on sale beginning Thursday, May 26, 2022, with the first show beginning June 23rd.
