I'm overwhelmed with all of your greetings and good wishes! Thanks so much for sticking around despite the long lapse between posts! You're all fabulous!
Yes! I'm sorry I was gone so long - I have a lot to catch up on! (Including your trip report!)
It was just fantastic - I highly recommend trying it sometime!
I know, amazing isn't it? We would've hit the 14 day ticket limit too early if we used a park day, so I had to come up with something fabulous as a substitute. I succeeded!
Now you know! Total success!
There was a LOT of smiling!
I'm rather impressed that I figured it out considering how many hours we'd been awake by that point!
I'm always here to help! (And to help you spend more money! )
It's a GREAT perk of the dinner show!
I hope I made it sound enticing for you!
I know! Isn't it great?!
Both were okay, but I thought the chicken was just average and the ribs we received were a little dry. I'm a bit particular about my ribs! The sides, on the other hand - delicious!
It was AWESOME! Next time I'm bringing a container to bring the rest back to the room with us! (You've already eaten so much by that point that finishing it is darn near impossible!)
She LOVED it. Even a year later, she's still talking about it.
Thanks, Su-Lynn! I'm quite happy to be back! I started on your recent trip report but haven't had a chance to comment yet - coming soon!
Thanks! I always take that as a high compliment coming from you!
It was GREAT and I highly recommend it! I actually enjoyed the food more than the alcohol (I wasn't thrilled with their wine choices and the sangria was a bit strong), but it's still a great perk!
Thanks so much! It's just my mom and I on our upcoming trip, but I'm sure he'll join me at Disney World one of these times! (He has no choice! )
Thank you! Life is pretty darn fabulous.
Wait, we're going to be there at the same time?! We arrive on April 28th and will be there until early May 8th. I'd love to meet up if it would work out in our schedules. I love a good DISmeet!
She really WAS horrified. Our great view made up for it (especially since the players never bothered her!).
You'll LOVE it! We thought the whole experience was just great! (Also, when are you going? It wouldn't happen to be the 6:15 performance on April 28th, would it? That's when we're headed back to the HDDR!)
Thanks so much! It's always nice to report good news rather than bad news!
It was great fun! No, she didn't have much of a choice, but I appreciate that she was a good sport and I was thrilled that she ended up loving it!
Thanks, Lynn!
Thanks! I'm pretty fond of him. That picture is from one of his work Christmas parties in December, hence our fancy attire.
Grant has been to Disney World twice - once as a child and once more as an adult for a conference. He really enjoyed BTMRR and Space Mountain, so I think he's a keeper. I think getting him on the DIS may be a stretch (although the same could be said for other DISers spouses and significant others!), but I think he'll be game for a future trip.
I'm so thrilled that Anika loved the show - she's still talking about it a year later!
(I think? Sometimes I can't keep track of who I've welcomed! )
Hoop Dee Doo was fabulous! I would highly recommend it for both the good food and the awesome entertainment. It's also quintessentially Disney, which makes it all the more awesome.
Thanks! I really appreciate your wonderful compliment!
I know, right? At least it worked out well!
She really did! She LOVED the show (and the food!).
It truly was delicious.
I know, imagine that!
Thanks! I'm really excited about it (and I know my mom is!).
I think it surprised her how much she enjoyed it. She was a bit of a grumpy Gus going in, and was full of enthusiasm and good words on the way out!
Thanks! I believe the show changed due to some copyright issues a few years ago, but I didn't know the difference as I'd never seen it before. I can't wait to see it again!
Thanks so much, Katie! You'll LOVE Hoop Dee Doo - Anika and I both really enjoyed it! The free alcohol is a pretty fantastic perk!
You're back!!
Yes! I'm sorry I was gone so long - I have a lot to catch up on! (Including your trip report!)
I haven't had the pleasure yet, either.
It was just fantastic - I highly recommend trying it sometime!
You can do that?
I had no idea!
I know, amazing isn't it? We would've hit the 14 day ticket limit too early if we used a park day, so I had to come up with something fabulous as a substitute. I succeeded!
I was really curious to see what she'd think afterwards.
Now you know! Total success!
And she's smiling too.
There was a LOT of smiling!
Good to know.
I'd probably be one of those people standing in line.
I'm rather impressed that I figured it out considering how many hours we'd been awake by that point!
Got it. Thanks!
I'm always here to help! (And to help you spend more money! )
I saw that on the menu... after I read and re-read it because I thought I was wrong!
It's a GREAT perk of the dinner show!
That would be me.
I hope I made it sound enticing for you!
And still smiling!
I know! Isn't it great?!
Really! I've heard so much about the chicken and ribs.
You're the first (that I can recall) who's preferred the sides to the mains.
Both were okay, but I thought the chicken was just average and the ribs we received were a little dry. I'm a bit particular about my ribs! The sides, on the other hand - delicious!
OMG. That looks sooo good.
Want.
It was AWESOME! Next time I'm bringing a container to bring the rest back to the room with us! (You've already eaten so much by that point that finishing it is darn near impossible!)
So she was right about the food, then...
But wrong about that! Great that she enjoyed it!
She LOVED it. Even a year later, she's still talking about it.
I'm soooo happy you're back!
Great pictures!
Wow your Hoop Dee Doo review really confirms that I want to try this next time! Seems like a wonderful way to spend the evening and I like how there's included alcohol as well! The food looks delicious, especially that chicken, mashed potatoes and corn (can't really go wrong with that combo!). I'd probably be scared a bit by performers trying to make it interactive but I think after a few drinks it won't matter
I'm looking forward to more!
PS - you and your BF are adorable. Is he going to Disney with you?
Thanks, Su-Lynn! I'm quite happy to be back! I started on your recent trip report but haven't had a chance to comment yet - coming soon!

Welcome Back! So glad that things are going so well for you!
Thank you! Life is pretty darn fabulous.
You arrive 3 days after us!! We arrive on the 26th of April!
Wait, we're going to be there at the same time?! We arrive on April 28th and will be there until early May 8th. I'd love to meet up if it would work out in our schedules. I love a good DISmeet!
Oh my goodness! Too funny! But great seats!!
She really WAS horrified. Our great view made up for it (especially since the players never bothered her!).
Thats what I'm saying!
This is great news as it is booked for our trip at the end of the month!! Super excited!
You'll LOVE it! We thought the whole experience was just great! (Also, when are you going? It wouldn't happen to be the 6:15 performance on April 28th, would it? That's when we're headed back to the HDDR!)
You're back. So glad to hear a happy life update!
Your Hoop de Doo Revue dinner looks like a lot of fun. I'm so glad you dragged Anika along (not like she had a choice ). Can't wait to hear more.
Thanks so much! It's always nice to report good news rather than bad news!
It was great fun! No, she didn't have much of a choice, but I appreciate that she was a good sport and I was thrilled that she ended up loving it!
So excited to see you back!
And what a cutie Grant is! That picture of you two is ADORABLE!!! And both of you look rather SMASHING!
So did you have to convert Grant to the Disney way? If so, I assume he is fully assimilated into the culture...he needs to get on the DIS too...just saying...
What were Anika think about the show after she saw it?
I can't wait to hear more!
Thanks, Lynn!
Thanks! I'm pretty fond of him. That picture is from one of his work Christmas parties in December, hence our fancy attire.

I'm glad you're back because I got all caught up today!
Hoop de Doo sounds like a blast! I'd love to do that one of these days. Totally channels my inner Broadway nerd
(I think? Sometimes I can't keep track of who I've welcomed! )
Hoop Dee Doo was fabulous! I would highly recommend it for both the good food and the awesome entertainment. It's also quintessentially Disney, which makes it all the more awesome.
Welcome back! You two are a beautiful couple
Thanks! I really appreciate your wonderful compliment!
Oh man, just her luck!
I know, right? At least it worked out well!
A-ha! Photographic proof that she did indeed have fun...look at that smile!
She really did! She LOVED the show (and the food!).
It truly was delicious.
Nice to see you back!! I can understand totally how life gets in the way of DIS lol
I know, imagine that!
Yay...so exciting for you!! I'm jealous too!!
Thanks! I'm really excited about it (and I know my mom is!).
At least she was excited about that...that's reason enough to go...and so glad she ended up loving it!! We went too and really enjoyed it...and I'm not usually a fan of audience participation stuff either lol
I think it surprised her how much she enjoyed it. She was a bit of a grumpy Gus going in, and was full of enthusiasm and good words on the way out!
I really enjoyed this update. I haven't been to the Hoop Dee Doo in years. I think a return trip is in order. So glad you both enjoyed it.
Thanks! I believe the show changed due to some copyright issues a few years ago, but I didn't know the difference as I'd never seen it before. I can't wait to see it again!
I'm so glad you're back!! And with the perfect update too, because I just recently booked Hoop for September! Neither of us have ever done it before, so thank you for the review. Free alcohol? WHAAAT! Oh man I'm looking forward to this
Thanks so much, Katie! You'll LOVE Hoop Dee Doo - Anika and I both really enjoyed it! The free alcohol is a pretty fantastic perk!
