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.

Eats at The Epcot Experience Menu Now Available

Eats at the EPCOT Experience is an expansion of the existing snack stand at the preview center attraction, serving salads, flatbreads, and more. Seating was recently expanded throughout the former photo op area of the EPCOT Experience, so guests can pick up their eats and enjoy them in the comfort of the indoor pavilion.

Signage is now out throughout EPCOT and near The Odyssey, with menus posted for guests to preview before the counter service opens at 11:00 AM.

Among the options are cheese and pepperoni flatbreads, a turkey sandwich option, a chopped salad with chicken, and of course, the coveted chicken breast nuggets. Kids options are available for the flatbreads and nuggets. Chips and fries are available as sides, plus a number of desserts like a cookie crunch brownie, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, and more. If these items sound familiar, it’s because they’re versions of popular items from the Electric Umbrella, which is scheduled to close soon for a massive remodeling.

Craft beers and soft drinks are also available.

Epcot’s New Plant-Based Menu

Guests who follow plant-based diets (or simply those looking to eat lighter or avoid animal products) now have a ton of new options to ponder while at the Magic Kingdom.

As previously announced, Walt Disney World has rolled out a new plant-based (vegan) icon along all of its menus, making it easier for guests to pick out what to eat. Along with the new icon are even more new plant-based food offerings.

Check out all the new menus at Epcot featuring the little leaf of plant-based approval, complete with pricing and lists of what’s vegan, below. As always, offerings like popcorn, veggie plates, and fruit cups remain as plant-based offerings on many menus, so you’ll see a few of those snack mainstays here as well.
