Downtown Disney & Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

We arrived at Disney World on a Wednesday afternoon. We arrived early enough to get settled into our Fort Wilderness cabin, but too late to go to a theme park. Instead, after returning our rental car, we browsed Downtown Disney. Really, this place is just another spot for Disney tourists to lose their $. I was proud that we were able to thoroughly enjoy the magic here without spending a penny. Highlights included designing our own light saber (did not spend the $21 to purchase it), building Darth Tater (saved $15 on this one), admiring the larger than life LEGO creations (free), & racing LEGO cars (free). We also rode our first of MANY Disney buses (free).

That evening we began our true Disney adventures by attending the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Pioneer Hall. When we first booked our trip, my parents insisted that we attend this dinner show, one that they'd enjoyed immensely on a prior trip to Disney. I'm glad they did because it was a riot. Cheesy performances, corny jokes, fun songs for the whole crowd to join in. They served the food in metal buckets. Fried chicken, ribs, & all the fixins finished off with Strawberry Shortcake- all delicious. The kids were laughing & clapping along and loved leaning on the balcony rail to watch all the action. The whole evening was as ridiculously, fantastically fun as my parents had remembered. Hoop-dee-doo!
