Dinner shows

[sherbet]

We are thinking of doing the Deluxe Plan and ive heard talk of Dinner shows. Can somebody tell me a bit about them. Where are they and what happens at a show? Thanks

Hoop Dee Doo is a campy show w/ singers/dancers/jokes. It's family service w/ fried chicken, ribs(?,) beans, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, biscuits and strawberry shortcake (I think those are the food offerings.) Beer and wine are included, I believe. It's a boat ride from the magic kingdom over to Fort Wilderness. And, @ least for the late show, buses waiting afterwards to take you back to your resort. There are 2 shows a night. It's a lot of fun - I went in '08 and in '09.

There are currently three dinner shows available.

Hoop De Doo Revue (Fort Wilderness): Guests are seated on the floor of the hall, or in the balcony. All of the chairs swivel so you can turn to the stage to watch the show. It's a 6-person show done in the style of a western traveling vaudeville show, complete with corny jokes. Food is served at the tables, generally between "bits" on stage, and is part of the show itself. Includes wine and beer.

Mickey's Backyard Barbecue (Fort Wilderness): Outdoor meal at long picnic tables (not reserved seating), with "picnic" style food, wine, and beer. Instead of a "show", there's live music, some acts (like rope tricks), and Mickey and friends will come out onto the "dance floor" area and mix with guests. This is not considered a normal "character meal" as the characters will not stop for autographs but rather just join the dancing.

Spirit of Aloha (Polynesian): I know less about this one, but it is, I believe, amphitheater-style seating with a Hawaiian luau theme for food and entertainment.

PP did a GREAT job describing the 3 shows.

I just want to add that all three shows cost 2 dining credits, and tips are also included in the ticket price.
