Staying at WL in May, thinking of calling here for reservations. I went to it years ago but haven't been there recently..any reviews?
 
Just went on the 23rd and had a great time. Great show, yummy food. Definitely worth the time and money. All the family enjoyed it. highly recommend it.
 
We went during our last holiday and loved it also.

Our children at the time were 4 & 2, so fairly hard to keep entertained for a long period of time, but they loved it also.

We be booking again for our October trip.
 
Can't say enough GREAT things about it! We loved it!!! My children were so mesmerized by everything and loved the food as well. Great atmosphere, entertainment and fun! My kiddos even got their magical moment and got to open the show!!!:cool1:
 

We absolutely love HDDR and go everytime we are in disney. The show is fun, food is great and we have never recieved any bad service. Deffinately a must do for our family! :)
 
The food is merely Okay, and the selection is poor: pork ribs, fried chicken, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and beans. You don't order a meal: every table is brought the same food in large, quaint pots. But the quantity is ample, and it's all the beer/wine/sangria you care to drink. The show is terrific fun, especially for children and pre-teens. The performers range out into the audience to embarrass a few lucky folks, so if you don't want their attentions bury your head in your beer and snarl ;-) We had great seats, right up against the stage, where the more gregarious of the kids begged his way up onto the stage. He so loves an audience ;-)
 
I went for the first time on my last trip and couldn't believe I hadn't been before then. My son and I loved it and will be returning this next trip in May !
 
Sooo much fun. My grandparents, parents, inlaws, siblings and kids all LOVE this show. It is our very favorite dining experience of all time (not just WDW) across 4 generations. Well worth it.

But you have love corny!
 
It depends on the child, of course. If they are in a phase of "if you say it is fun then it must NOT be fun" then they won't have a good time. The skits are hokey, the jokes are corny, and there is a reason IMHO why this meal serves all the wine and beer you care to consume. I'm sure it helps. We recently had a 10 year old boy at the show, and he had a good time despite himself. Give him another year or three (I hope) of internal body chemistry changes, and I doubt he would have allowed himself to have fun. The other boy, 12, had a great time and will probably enjoy such things until college "teaches" him otherwise ;-)

How about teens ages 14 and 16? Do you think they would enjoy it?

We went on our first two trips to WDW many years ago. I would love to go back but DH is not interested. If you want to go you need to call for ADRs NOW! May is less than three months away. If you do call and are able to get ADRs would you post and let us know.

:cheer2: :cheer2::cheer2:
 
We loved it when we saw it in August. Even DH who thought it would be torture wound up enjoying it. Our children were 10 & 6 at the time but there was a family behind us who had all teenagers and they were having a blast.

We go every year with our visits! The best place to sit is down on the floor to the side of the stage. My son went up on stage 2 years ago.

Great entertainment, good food, good sangria. Be aware, they single out newlyweds, anniversaries, b-days, etc.

I highly recommend it!
 
One word for HDV OUTSTANDING.
 
We keep thinking we will try a different dinner show and yet are drawn back every time, it is just SO much fun, a word to the wise:

If you can hold out for it, go to the last show of the evening, it feels much less rushed as they don't have to get another group in. Also if you are on the dining plan, then this year the late show can get tier one seating.
 
Show is great but in my opinion food is poor. My DH loves ribs but couldn't eat the ones at the HDDR. There were no chicken breasts. Mostly wings & a few legs and one thigh. The next time I go, I am going to ask about a vegeterian option. We were just there in Jan '8.
