Located in the grounds of the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue, a show for families of every sort.
Here is an article written by MousePlanet columnist Steve Russo about the show and whether it is worth viewing. (Note: He says that you can take the "Boone" and "Crockett" buses. I don't know how old Mr. Russo's map is, but those buses were discontinued nearly a decade ago. It would now be either the purple or orange bus).
The show plays at Pioneer Hall, located next to Trail's End, and home to Melvin the Moose from the Country Bear Jamboree. As you dine on either fried chicken or prime ribs, you are entertained by the Pioneer Hall Players: Flora, Jim Handy, Claire de Loon, Johnny, Dolly and my favorite Six Bits Slocum. They perform songs from America's vaudeville and western traditions and involve the audience greatly. My personal favorite number is "Clementine," particularly for Six Bits' contributions.
And children will love their parts in the show--let's just say it involves making a lot of noise.
So, if your iternary and budget allow, plan for a visit to the Hoop-Dee-Doo revue.

73 Days to Go: Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
Welcome to my hotel series! My family may prefer to stay at the Pop Century Resort for our own reasons, but there are plenty of other hotels. And they may prove more suitable for your trip.
Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground was our old stomping grounds and one of my favorites. The rooms are actually cabins set up in loops off the main road. Each cabin contains a kitchen (complete with refrigerator and stove), a living room with a Murphy bed, a bathroom, and a bedroom with a king and bunk beds. One can easily fit a family of about six to eight (or just a party of that many).
The resort is set in a beautiful outdoor setting, complete with a view of the lake. There are trials that you can bike along or take a golf cart as well. Guests can also rent jetskis or boats to go on the lake with. Each loop comes wth their own pools (where laundry services are also located) for a swim. My family loved to go there for a late night, post-park swim.
The Trading Post serves a store for souvenirs to a grocery. Located near the Trading Post is Trail's End, a buffet serving good old American food. My sister loves their ribs, I love their fried chicken.
