72 Days to Go: Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

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.
