Diamond Horseshoe Question

[WhispyPixie]

We visited many years ago for lunch and they had a cute little show going on. We were thinking about booking the Diamond Horseshoe Revue for dinner on an upcoming trip....do they still have a show? Or is it only lunch time?

Thanks

As far as I know, the DHR no longer exists at all. I think the space is used for overflow seating during busy periods, or as a CS during those times, or somethng like that. I sure do miss that show!

No show.

Like the PP said, they just use the space to serve I think cold sandwiches as a CS* for lunch and the same menu as LTT for dinner.

* Oddly enough I remember getting cold sandwiches when they did do the show. Sandwiches on Wonder Bread wrapped in Saran wrap, a bag of chips and a drink.

Wow....thanks for the info guys. I am thinking I will cancel the ADR my DH made for this now. It was listed on the Magic Kingdom Dining list for dinner for Dec 26th. Guessing it is just an overflow...Boooo..the show was cute and entertaining.

1) Ah, the Diamond Horseshoe !
2) We loved that place.
. . . cute "Western" floor show with dancing, singing and jokes
. . . audience participation on and off stage
. . . snacks and sandwiches and soft drinks
. . . nicely air conditioned on a hot day
3) The labor costs became too much for WDW budget constraints.
. . . dancers
. . . comics
. . . other performers
. . . musicians
4) They shut it down with little fanfare.
5) Now, it is an overflow eatery for LTT in busy seasons.
. . . counter service and sandwiches for lunch
. . . family-style for dinner
. . . recommended ADR's for either
6) In most cases, not worth the effort
7) WHAT A PITY to kill off such a nice attraction !!!!

NOTE: The Disneyland version is The Golden Horseshoe. They have the counter
service, but also have the floor show with "Billy Hill and the Hillbillies", bluegrass
music and comics.

EDIT: I got selected to participate before the show was canceled. Although I
had a silly duty, when the show was over, the banjo player let me take the
instrument and play a little blue grass. It was a cute little "jam session" with
the other musicians. (The banjo player picked up his guitar for this respite.)

Make sure you have something else planned before you cancel your ADR. If its really busy you might not get something inside the park (if that is what you are looking for).

Outside of special events (there was a Tables in Wonderland event earlier this year that had entertainment provided) there is no longer any show at the Diamond Horseshoe at all. The building stands and has retained its name, but it is no longer used as an entertainment venue.

The Golden Horseshoe, its counterpart at Disneyland, still features shows.
