With the death of noodles and all the other cuts let’s just pray Hoop does not loose it’s included adult beverage offerings!

I’ve actually wondered that myself if anyone knows.
Also is the Chip N Dale campfire going on these days?

They've flattened the facility it was held in so it would have to be relocated to another location.

The pavilion is long gone, so I would assume the show is permanently gone.
As for the status of Hoop, I was told by someone who would know that the original plan was to have the show up and running by the 4th, but that timeline had to be pushed back and now the plan is for it to be open sometime in August.

Demolished to make way for Reflections which now looks to be cancelled or on hold indefinitely. https://blogmickey.com/2019/05/mick...rt-wilderness-prepares-for-expansive-changes/

So this coming back?

I highly doubt the show will change. As popular as it may be, it is not as widely known in the social realm as splash mountain or even jungle cruise which present "challenges" in Disney's view. Further, the show is not directly linked to any problematic IP. If Disney doesn't change the show, no one will say a word and from a PR perspective, that's exactly what they need. In other words, they have bigger fish (or chicken 
) to fry.

No replies to this thread for a while. Does anyone have an idea when it might be coming back? Seemed to me like it was going to be summer but now I wonder if it won’t be until Oct 1
Like all entertainment right now, it is a big black hole of the unknown.

With a return date for BatB and other shows in the parks, could we seen an announcement for this show sometime soon? I've got to think that they would want to prioritize stuff like Hoop Dee Doo that directly generates revenue.

I’ll cross my fingers for our late October trip, but our February trip seems more likely.

Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Cast Getting Called Back – Streaming The Magic
Disney World has started the rehiring process for the popular dining show Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revuestreamingthemagic.com
So, this post is from way back in April. If they truly starting calling back the cast then, I'm pretty surprised they haven't gotten to the point to announce starting dates or sales. Does anyone know if this rumor was even true and that cast was recalled for Hoop?

Didn’t the news come from the cast members? It could be they were rehired but are working different roles just now, maybe in BatB for example.
I really do hope it does come back though, and it’d be nice if it was announced in time for the 50th or at least Christmas.

The cast was 100% called back, and auditions were held to fill some of the roles. The opening was delayed for reasons that had nothing to do with the actors (more on the restaurant side).

Do you know if the cast were simply offered their jobs back or did they have to re-audition? I assume some decided not to come back.
I keep wondering when Disney will start chopping off parts of Fort Wilderness for other use. The campground is prime for development and DVC/hotel propertires would make far more profit than the campground ever would. I know the camping area is popular and as booked up as any other resort in peak season, but this is Disney we're talking about. Hopefully they would maintain the Hoop-Dee-Doo as is if this were to ever occur.

I’m not too sure about that. The campground is pretty consistently booked and I’m thinking costs a lot less to operate than a traditional hotel. Even when they were going to build Reflections, the campground was going to remain. It does bring up a good question though. I wonder what plots around property are earmarked for future hotels. I often wonder too about how long Caribbean Beach has left. I could see them continue to remove parts of that resort to replace with towers a la Riviera. Back to hoop, I feel like it may have been a logistics thing, in regards to having enough restaurant staff and also enough bus/boat cast to provide transport to the show.
