Hoop De Doo Recommendation

[fhtpdw20]

Please describe dining layout. Trying to decide what tier to select based on seating arrangement. Where would you suggest?

I don't think there's really a "bad" seat in the house... except maybe the upstairs sides... and only then b/c of the way the tables are laid out, people with their back to the rail (for the meal) would have to turn around in their seats for the show... kind of prevents the veiwing/munching/conversation factor....

The cast walk around the room during the show. A couple even come upstairs during one part.

One thing to remember, seating is ASSIGNED... so although everyone "huddles" near the entrance, there's really no need... show up just before show time, check in with the CM w/a clipboard outside, and you'll get your table. I believe there was a CM that actually "seated" us.. or directed us... it's a bit fuzzy right now...

We sat upstairs but on the back, and had a direct view of the stage.. the kids sat next to the rail and LOVED it...

I would really recommend HDDR, yes, it's "Campy" and "Cheesy", but it is fun, and it was a hit with my kids.... nice to be entertained without a "character" in sight!

We paid for the top level priority seating (can't remember what the category was called, but we were front and center). In my opinion it was well worth it! We were all comfortable with a wonderful view. This was the meal the kids enjoyed the most, even the 10 year old who is hard to please. Both boys laughed the entire time and I have to admit, DH and I had a blast too. We will definitely return on our next trip!

We've sat right next to the stage, a little further back and upstairs once on the 5 different occasions we been there. We had a blast every time and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Upstairs is a little removed from the "action", but the shy folks seem to think it is "safe" since they figure they won't be chosen for the audience participation roles. But the cast does visit upstairs and they work hard to be inclusive of all.
