180 Days Out, Top Shows Book?

[schalliol]

Hi everyone, first post!

I've been having difficulty searching and finding a good list of shows we should consider booking at 180 days before checking into resort.

Can anyone point me to a list of the all the shows we can book, as I can't seem to find a button on My Disney Experience like I can for dining?

If that's possible, can anyone suggest perhaps which are the most popular tickets or those that are great independent of popularity? Thanks so much!

There are only two "dinner shows" at WDW that can be booked 180 days in advance.

Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue (Ft. Wilderness Resort)

Spirit of Aloha Luau (Polynesian Village Resort)

There is also a Cirque du Soleil show (not Disney) at Disney Springs, "La Nouba."

Thank you very much! So when they say we can book shows 180 days out, they are only referring to those two dinner shows and the Cirque du Soleil show? That's really helpful if so.

For Hoop and Aloha, yes.

You can book La Nouba via many non-Disney sites (since it's not a Disney show,) so I don't think there's the same kind of limit on booking.

Thanks! I think we'll probably book both of those dinner shows.

I just have to add, La Nouba was AWESOME. Went in not knowing much about it and left wanting to go back.

There's also Mickey's Backyard Barbecue at Fort Wilderness, which is considered a dinner show but I don't believe it is presented in the winter.

In case you are new to the terminology, ADRs are dining reservations. 180 days out is also the time to reserve those. They require a credit card hold and there is a charge for not showing up. Canceling prior to 24 hours is at no penalty. You will want to make dining reservations, especially for character meals and signature restaurants. Go to the Restaurants board for information and discussion.
