We never went because I had it in my head it was "country music" and vittles. I live in the land of Hoop Dee Doo so I saw no reason to pay for it. Well DD was working at Disney and on each visit I would take her somewhere she couldn't afford to go. She picked HDDR. Okay. We made sure to take Disney transportation so we could enjoy the all you can drink beer.
Well it's not country music, it was a clever funny show tied more to old west I guess. I actually thought it was more adult entertainment than for children, and I likely wouldn't pay that kind of money to take kids. I think there is better kid entertainment elsewhere. We did attend the last show and I've heard they play more to adults that show, I don't know for a fact. I would say there were fewer kids at our show and they didn't necessarily look engaged .... there were no children anywhere around us, upstairs.
We, all adults, wouldn't blink about booking it! BUT I do think we found more value because it was AYCTE, food we enjoy and all the beer we could drink.
