We're even going to try the Luau at the Poly this year, unless some of you convince me Hoop De Doo is better
(we've never done either)
.
As for fireworks view, What about near the boat docks at SSR? We haven't been either - just guessing. I'll bet the CM who checks you in will have a great suggestion!
I know you have to be so very super excited! Heck, I'm excited about reading the report, so I can only imagine how stoked you are about actually taking the trip!! I don't think you realize how much we live vicarously through your reports!!! Can't wait to read more!
I think the kids would love Hoope Dee Doo too, I'm hoping Tim and I would enjoy it, it isn't so corny that it's unbearable is it? The other reason I'm leaning towards it is because it is AIR CONDITIONED, in June that is important!
Sooooooooooooooooo true, I try my best, this is definitely a step in the right direction!
O.K, votes keep stacking up for Hoop Dee Doo! I think Luke and Lauren would love it too, now to convince TimHere's a second for Hoop Dee Doo! A very enthusiastic second, I might add. We took an 18 month old and almost 3 year old, and they loved it (as did the 5 adults). So fun, good food (and plenty of it), lots of good clean humor, and a lively atmosphere. It was great, and I'd HIGHLY recommend it!
OHhhh, the amount of brainwashing I do to that poor man
Thanks, love the excitement! Thanks for the positive Hoop De Doo story, all of these testimonials will make it easier to convince TimJust reading your update is getting me excited for all the fun you guys are going to have, I can only imagine your own excitment
We tried the Hoop-de doo this past August and had a blast! We had two first timers with us and they couldn't get over what a great evening it was.
Looking forward to hearing about all your ides!!
.I understand, that's what happened to us last year, I almost booked the luau and only category 3 was available and there was a possibility of an obstructed view, no thanks! 23 days, you are close!!! Good luck with the DVC decision!
Very cool, we are excited about being AP holders for the first time. TGM has made trips in June AMAZING FOR US!!!
Yes, the planning has officially begun, I'll post my dining hopes/ressie's desired list soon, I've been fine tuning it. I'm surprised you said the HDD food was better than the luau, I thought it would be the opposite, the menu looked better to meLeslie, you have alot of planning to do!
We've done both the Luau and HDD. I loved the luau, but we probably had more fun at HDD. I think HDD would be more fun for the kids! My DN laughed so hard he fell off his chair! I just thought the performance was so corny it made me roll my eyes - and I'm easily entertained!
The food was probably better at HDD. I'm glad we experienced both, but I don't think I'd repeat either.
Have fun with your planning!
Thanks, I am having fun planning, it feels like home! YEAH! I love the enthusiasm. Glad you enjoye the reports and came back for more.Hey, Lesley!
I can't tell you how excited I am to be reading another one of your reports, and I can't believe that we're going to get 16 days of action this year! Woohoo!!!
(i wasn't drunk but tipsy when we left - tipsy enough that i went to the bathroom to change shirts because i had gotten BBQ sauce on the one i was wearing and i ended up leaving the BBQ shirt in the bathroom hanging on the back of the door! i didn't realize it until we were on our way back to MK that night. and the bad part is i had only worn it ONCE!) but it really was funny. and there is some adult humor but it's phrased so that your kids wouldn't even notice it.
Thanks so much for all of the advice. I think we decided on hoop De Doo this time, as Tim said, we'll be going every year forever we'll have time to experience them all and since we'll be there in the heat of late June/early July HDD is airconditioned1!! Restaraunt choices are coming up, stay tuned!
so funny, sounds like me, they have wine on the menu and so i'll be stumbling after that meal for sure!!! Can't wait until you get to day 5!i will be sure to alert you when i post it. it may be awhile though. it was on day 5 and we're only on day 3!
it was corny but HILARIOUS! i remember laughing at some parts so hard i was tearing up......okay, so maybe the unlimited sangrias contributed a little bit.
ohhhh, and don't forget YANKEE FANS!!! verrrrrrrrryyyyy spooky indeed
Not only are we married to goofballs, mommies of an older boy and younger girl, midwestern girls, Disney-freaks, and DVC members... but now we are both AP holders too!!!
spooky... just spooky....
i think we'll be doing HDD this time, thanks for weighing in!ITA - I was asking DH what he thought - we liked the luau better as adults for the show, (we thought HDD was too corny), but the luau was too, and I KNOW the kids would like HDD better! A side note, my DN is named Luke, too!
can't do both this trip but we will try the Luau next time cause' there will ALWAYS be a next time : )
Thanks so much for your imput, as you'll see in a minute when i post our ressie list we went with HDD this time! Thanks,
That is an INSANE dining schedule. Here is a link to my review of HDDR in my TR. We enjoyed our time but where we live there is no shortage of Western comedy dinner shows so it was nothing extraordinary or unique to Disney for us.
I can't wait to hear about your surprise, I am sure it was great!
I can't wait to hear about the surprise!
