hoop de doo 180 days?

[MAPOrocks]

Does Hoop De Doo Revue sell out at 180 days or can I wait until closer to my trip to book? It appears that I will have to pay the full price up front. Is that correct?

 

[Missy29]

I just booked Hoop Dee Doo last weeks for May 3, category 1. So I would say it's not necessary to book at 180 days unless maybe it's a really busy time. Yes you have to pay up front.

We always book early category 1 to get closer to the stage.

You'll definitely be fine if you wait until its closer. Most of the time we decide we're going a few days before hand. Yes you will have to pay upfront

This is what we do. Book right when our dining window opens for category 1. Love being right at the stage!

The earlier you book, the better your table. The tables are actually rearranged to accomodate this. Depending on the time of year you're going, the 6pm show can fill up fast.

How does the dining plan work if you pay in advance? Do they refund you, or do they just put a hold on your card until the day?

My parents decided in January to join our April trip. I booked HDDR for them and DD at probably 75 days and was still able to choose from the three show times. Now, we are on DDP and booked category two, so that probably makes a difference.

As long as you book online through mde and the dining plan is linked,there is a not a hold placed on your card. I tried to call in the fall
And the cm could not do it on the phone without a credit card to charge.

I'm at 94 days out and they still have all 3 times available

What are the advantages/disadvantages to booking certain times at Hoop? The last time we ever had to pick dining times per seating was on a cruise and we had no children. Our 5 and 8 year old boys will be with us now and they go to bed by 8 on a regular night. They fall apart if they stay up late. So 6 it is?

They also have a 4:00 show.

There is a 4pm show and 6:15pm show. If your kids go to bed by 8 usually, then the first show at 4pm might be your best choice. You'll have plenty of time afterwards to get back to where you are staying. The 6:15 show usually ends around 8pm, and then we get the boat back to MK and back to the resort from there, so it can take quite a while to get back.

curious about how they fill tables. are they just your family? or if you have 6 & the only table is for an 8 do they ill in others?

6:15 will be too late for your family then. The dinner and show is about 2 hours. Transportation back to your resort can take 90 or more minutes. I would go with the earlier show.

With rare exceptions tables are just for your party

the earlier you book the better your seats. So I'd book asap, because I am anal that way.

The view is fine but the one problem is you have your back to the show while you are eating. Some people do not like this and have reported that really the show is paced so that you eat while things are going on on stage and it made it hard to do both at the same time.

Thank you. The price difference isn't really that much. Just hoping to save a little.
