SIX WILD WEST PERFORMERS arrive by stagecoach (sound effects only) to en-
tertain the crowd inside Pioneer Hall. There isn't much of a plot, just corny jokes in-
terspersed with song or dance. The humor is of the
Hee Haw
ilk, but it's presented
enthusiastically.
Audience participation includes sing-alongs, hand clapping, and a finale that uses
volunteers to play parts on stage. Performers are accompanied by a banjo player and
pianist who also play quietly while the food is being served. The fried chicken and
corn on the cob are good, the ribs a bit tough though tasty.
Traveling to Fort Wilderness and absorbing the rustic atmosphere of Pioneer Hall
augments the adventure. For repeat Disney World visitors, an annual visit to the revue
is a tradition of sorts. Plus, warts and all, the revue is all Disney, and for some folks
that's enough. The fact that performances sell out far in advance gives the experience
a special aura. To make reservations for the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue
, call as
soon as you're certain of the dates of your visit. The earlier you call, the better your
seats will be.
If you go to
Hoop-Dee-Doo
, allow plenty of driving time (about an hour) to get
there. Or do as this California dad suggests:
To go to the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue,
take the boat from the Magic Kingdom
rather than any bus. This is contrary to the “official” directions. The boat dock is a
short walk from Pioneer Hall in Fort Wilderness, while the bus goes to the main Fort
Wilderness parking lot, where one has to transfer to another bus to Pioneer Hall
.
Boat service may be suspended during thunderstorms, so if it's raining or it looks
like it's about to rain, Disney will provide bus service from the parks.
