Walt Disney World Dinner Shows

Disney’s dinner shows offer guests the opportunity to enjoy an entertaining show, with a tasty themed menu to match. Currently Disney offers 3 themed dinner shows: The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, The Polynesian Luau, and Mickey’s Backyard Barbeque. For the children in your party, the Grand Floridian Resort hosts the Wonderland Tea Party. So, bring your taste buds and let's take a tour of the dinner shows.

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is held nightly at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort’s Pioneer Hall. One of Disney’s longest running shows, it has been delighting audiences since 1974. Here you will find absolutely "hilarious, hoe doe entertainment" courtesy of a fun loving troupe of country-western singers and dancers, who sing and joke to the delight of all attending, involving the audience in its antics. Amid the entertainment, enjoy all-you-can-eat "vittles" such as barbequed ribs, fried chicken, corn, baked beans and strawberry shortcake.

The Hoop-Dee-Doo seems to be the most popular dinner show of those that Disney offers. Seatings book up early; there are currently 3 of them - at 5pm, 7:15pm, and 9:30pm (each lasting approximately two hours). Reservations can be made 90 days in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE. Groups of eight or more should call 407-939-7077. Payment in full will be required at the time of booking.
