Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 GaDawgFan's family and mine went together a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. A first time for us and it was hilarious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 The younger kids seem to love it. Lots of interacting with the characters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 GaDawgFan's family and mine went together a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. A first time for us and it was hilarious. Very true! We were all cracking up, especially my four year old (and that surprised me). We've always skipped it because of the cost, but I thought it was worth it. Your gratuity is also included, so keep that in mind. While it IS expensive, when you consider that you get dinner, a couple hours of entertainment, and adult beverages, it puts it somewhat in perspective. Most Disney buffets are $30 and up, and beers are $8, so have a few and eat a bunch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuc71 162 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Poor mans hoop de doo review-1. Go to trails end and get a GAG2. Stand out in front of pioneer hall and try to get a Kodak moment with one of the stage actors as they enter the hall3. Eat your GAG on a picnic in front of pioneer hall and listen to the faint music from the show4. Save yourself hundreds of dollars-.....priceless Bonus- bring your iPad or tablet and enjoy watching a you tube video of the hoop de doo revue as you enjoy your GAG while mooching the free wi fi.......double priceless Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have always enjoyed the show...but haven't gone in 2 or 3 years now due to the cost. Yes, it's expensive. If you've never seen it I think it is worth it once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 In all our years of camping at the fort, I've never been able to talk David into the cost. I'll try again in November. Would love to see it just once! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 We've been several times and it has always been fun, As was mentioned the "Younger generation" really seem to enjoy it. Here is our grandson in 2009.The last time we went we didn't want all the "heavy food" and found out the chef will make a lighter fare if you want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What is the lighter fare? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What is the lighter fare?I had grilled chicken breast with steamed veggies and Linda had a strawberry chicken salad. The chef came out to our table and asked us what we would like. All they ask is you give them a couple days notice if you would like something different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djbogue 1 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have reservations for HDDR and staying at the campground. Can you tell me where to pick up the tickets at Fort Wilderness besides the box office? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you tell me where to pick up the tickets at Fort Wilderness besides the box office? Best bet IMO is the Concierge Window, which is at Pioneer Hall. If you are standing in front of Pioneer Hall looking at the entrance to the HDDR, the Concierge Window is on the left side of the building to the left of the bathrooms. They can print them there and hand them to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tigger 33 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I love the show and our stay at the fort doesn't seem complete without it now. We try for the late show because when I'm done eating the fried chicken and BBQ ribs I'm done for the night. Last time I ate so much there wasn't even room for the rest of my sangria and wifegot to drive the GC back to the MH. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 We enjoy the Backyard Bar B Que and the HDDR very much. Both are costly but our children love both of them. Shawnee, of course, loves the baked beans and bread. Kimberly just loves all the music and laughing. Last Spring when we went we took one of our former foster children (who now calls us Nana and Pop Paw) who was 10. She loved the HDDR better than anything she said.She ate good and she had a ball. Not sure how a 2 year old would react to it but everytime we have gone we have never seen a child that didn't seem to be enjoy it all. In fact our then 2 month old slept through the entire show. I guess she liked the music too. We will probably do both of those shows again this year if the vacation savings account will allow it. LOL I have not been to the LuAu in more than 25 years but would love for Ken and me to be able to go sometime without the kids. Maybe after Christmas if some of the kids and grandkids join us there. They never mind babysitting so we can do something for just us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
