WDW Dinner Shows suggestions

[PinkQueen22]

Hello all. I am new to WDWmagic.com but I'm not new to WDW itself. However, I know very little about the restaurants in WDW. I was hoping you all would be able to help me. My boyfriend's parents are taking us to the World this Christmas. They asked me the other day about Dinner Shows at WDW and I honestly couldn't tell them a whole lot. The only "dinner show" I've been to is the Luau at the Polynesian and they too have been to it and would like something different. I did a little bit of research and I was wondering if any of you have been to the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue or the Fantasmic dinner package, and if you have, would you recommend them? Also, any suggestions about other dinner shows that may exist that I haven't mentioned would be appreciated . Thanks!

The Fantasmic Dinner Package isn't really a "dinner show". It's dinner at one of the sit down restaurants at Disney Hollywood Studios and then preferred seating at that night's showing of Fantasmic. Whereas the Hoop-Dee-Doo is an actual "dinner show" and it's held at Pioneer Hall at Fort Wilderness.

My personal preference is the Hoop-Dee-Doo. I saw Fantasmic for the first time last year and I didn't really care for it. Here's what it says on Allears net about the Hoop-Dee-Doo...

We loved the Hoop-dee-Doo. Fantasmic at DHS is worth seeing, but as others said it's not a dinner show.

Both are more than worth it. The Fantasmic dinner package as others said isn't a "dinner show" but it is a good deal because then you don't have to go get seats for Fantasmic as early as you would without. Now the Hoop-De-Doo is a ton of fun, great food, and great atmosphere its a must do thats well worth it.:slurp:

Hoop Dee Doo Revue!

Mickey's Backyard BBQ is fun also.

The Fantasmic Pkg is a good thing to get if you do not want to wait in line to enter the show.
