We've been to HDDR twice and liked it, although we're not in a hurry to go back. Nothing bad, we just would like to try other things. Be careful though, they pick audience members for a part in the show. I was the 'can-can' girl both times I have been there! Probably another reason why I want to stay away from that place lol! I vote yes to going with your family.

My older daughter is almost 20 and she still remembers the HDDR from when she was 8. She can't wait to go again!!! I went when I was 19 with my mom and dad and loved it as well, so clearly the show has held up for many years.

I wish they still had the corn on the cob though -- that was my fav.

We always end up there way too early and just head to the General Store and look around. Then grab a Diet Coke and sit on the porch in rocking chairs till about 20 minutes till showtime. I've been 8 times, been picked to be the angel of Davy Crockett, and always had a great time. BTW, the beer is Bud Light.

My worst nightmare - lol!

We went 2 years ago when our kids were 11, 8 & 5. They really enjoyed it but we had good seats on the main floor, a bit off to the side and maybe 6 tables from the stage. If we were too far away from the stage we may have lost the 5 y/o. Being closer to the action with young children always helps at any live performance IMHO.

We got there about an hour early because we weren't sure how long the boat to FW would take. Very close to the HDDR is the barn where they keep all the beautiful horses that are in the WDW parades - we were excited to see the horse the headless horseman rides in the Halloween parade. There were a few CM's in the barn and they entertained us with lots of stories about the various animals. We then walked around the campground a little bit and found that fun because they have so many nice walking trails. We had never been to FW before.

If you don't go you will always wonder what you are missing!

We went to HDDR this past December after reading all of the great reviews. Like others have said, we enjoyed it, but will probably not go back. It took 2 Dining credits and was really like so many shows we've seen before. We live near Silver Dollar City and have seen that type of show more times than we can count. The food was good and it was entertaining, but I think after doing it once we've had our fill of it for awhile. We really didn't think that it was worth the 2 credits, there were other things and restaurants that we enjoyed much more especially for the money.

To Hoop-Dee-Do, Or not to do Hoop-Dee-Do. That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous familiy members,
Or to take arms against a sea of moans, and groans, and complaints.
And by opposing end them? To yell: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we no end to their groans.
The heart-ache and the thousand natural digs by them
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To getr peace, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of sleeps what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off and the kids stop yelling,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of the rest of their childhood,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of parenthood and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country within HDDR from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of parents from their kids;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
It truly is more noble to attend HDDR.
Thus, the lady of the ADR will be beseeched to grant us admission.
