Getting to Hoop-Dee-doo

[DaisyandBoo]

We have 4p reservations at Hoop-Dee-Doo. We will have our car. Where exactly will we park? Do we still need to take a bus to the show if we park at Fort Wilderness? We are staying at Bonnet Creek. How long do you think it will take it to get to Hoop? Not sure if they let in prior to 4p or not.

You will park in the lot available at fort wilderness. then have to transfer using an Internal bus, which will drop you like n area of hoop de doo/crickets tavern etc.
If by chance u are at/near MK...
You could also just take boat across, which is what we do.

There is a general store, some rocking chairs outside Crockets and it's fun to poke around and see the area in foot.
I forgot how early they allow you in, but we have Always been there about 45- hour earlier n just hang, grab a drink or walk about a bit
We Love the show, enjoy!
The internal bus runs the same as all buses so give yourself 20-30 minutes for that in case they r busy.

If you are staying on property, IMO it's almost worth it to take in house transportation to MK and take the boat over to the camp ground. The internal bus in the camp ground can be confusing to some and take just as long as trekking to MK and then the boat over.
If you are in MK or Epcot that day before, take the monorail to MK and take the boat over.
If you drive, like the previous poster stated, allow at least 30 min for the internal bus to take you to the pioneer village stop. You want to be at check in about 30 min or more before the show. We were there in May and they only open the doors about 10 min before the show as everyone has assigned seating.

So, the boat from MK takes you directly to the Hoop Dee Doo/general store area? If so, that does sound easier.

boat is the easier way to Hoop, not sure if you have young kids but there is a park like playground you walk by as you are getting to Hoop. great place to run off steam before sitting for meal and show. would allow 40 minutes from the MK boat dock in case you just miss the boat. would be the same back to your car at the TTC

We find taking a bus to MK and the boat to FW much easier, since the boat dock is literally steps away from Pioneer Hall. We love the boat ride there and back.. it is very relaxing. We went to the 4pm show on 9/8 and we left our resort at 3pm for the bus to MK.

Another vote for the MK boat - exponentially easier and mere minutes from the MK.
