Hoop-Dee-Doo Cancelation PSA

[masupo]

Just wanted to give a PSA to check your Hoop-Dee-Doo reservations for the next few days.

My Hoop-Dee-Doo reservation for this coming Wed 10/05 was canceled by Disney. I didn't get a cancellation email, I just happened to notice yesterday that it was gone in MDE.

I called to check and the cast member confirmed it was cancelled at 3:00 Saturday. I noticed at around 6:00. She was surprised I didn't get a phone call. I said it's fine they didn't call, but I would have expected an email from the reservation system. It's Sunday morning now and still no email.

She said Ft Wilderness still has no power and I'm guessing they're cleaning up damage. She was also surprised they're cancelling that far out - she heard they're cancelling Mon & Tues, but hadn't heard about Wed.

I set a dining alert in case they're able to open and reservations become available. If not, we'll go on our next trip.

@masupo thanks for the heads up, it's a bummer but after the Hurricane and the damage it's understandable. Sad for those going to HDDR and camping.

Definitely agree! It's understandable and sad. I feel so bad so bad for everyone - the cast members and the families who were looking forward to staying at Ft. Wilderness.

I feel lucky that we can still have a great trip. We are going to try out Boatwrights and go see Yeeha Bob that night instead.

Has anyone heard of any updates for Hoop Dee Doo? We have a reservation on October 11, which is like the highlight of our trip.

Yep. October is huge for the Fort. Columbus Day weekend, all the Halloween decorations

I'm not heading down till early November but I wonder if things could even stretch out that far?
