photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Trying to save a bit of money, I booked Category 3 tickets for the Hoop-Dee-Doo on our recent trip.....cheapest seats, in the balcony, off to the side. We did the Tuesday, December 4 show at 4:00pm, and *everyone* attending was put in Category 1 seating!Imagine our surprise when we ended up with what I think are the best seats in the house.....center stage, about half way back! The show was great, the food was excellent, and there was a lot of interaction with the cast, because there were only about 20 tables filled for that show.The nice thing with an early show is that you can still easily make it to the campfire, singalong and movie afterward!

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Very cool!I haven't done the HDDR in a loooooooooooong time. My 3 year old loves the Backyard BBQ, and I can't justify doing both, but I WILL make it back someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 You should never ask me for pictures---I'll post way too many and take forever to do it, lol! Here are a few from our night at the Hoop-Dee...Yes, it's the mat outside the door!And the garland outsideExcuse this guy's head, but this is where we sat...in the center center, with no one to the side of us or behind us.From the show...Chorus line kicks!Not because I want to show off our half-eaten food, but look at the empty space behind us!Six Bits was hilarious---I liked him so much!The ladies--all awesome!The guys---also awesome. Johnny Ringo was an amazing dancer, and the other one (whose name I forgot) an amazing singer.These two were a riot together!Loved the banjo player so muchI didn't remember the servers having to go up on stage, but that was fun to seeOur server didn't appear to be having the time of her life, but she was trying :) She was also from very close to our hometown, so it was fun to chat with her.I pretty much loved everything about this show!If you have a chance, go see it!

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I love, love, love the HDDR. We always do the BYBBQ too and I agree that it is too expensive to do both. Especially since we have to pay for children, as adults, who are not even able to eat. I love the show and all the characters. Always love the music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fugarwe(MN John(Juanito)) 23 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I worry they will start cutting back on HDDR since they can't fill the tables. We were thinking of doing it again in Feb since it's been a couple of years. But it is an investment, that's for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I tried to get our BYBBQ reservations changed to a later date (from December 25) so that our granddaughter and niece could attend with us. There were no openings at all. They did have openings for the HDDR so I guess it is not as popular as the barbecue. We enjoyed the barbecue but it was not a barbecue at all.....Christmas day they served turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, brown gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (delicious), steamed green beans, fresh salad, corn bread, dinner rolls, cranbetty sauce and cranberry salad, vegetable soup, hot dogs (served on another table near the drinks), usual drinks and ice cream. Oh and pumpkin pie. At least Ken said it was pumpkin (I did not eat any) so it could have been sweet potato. lolIt was good but I was really looking forward to their wonderful ribs. And our Shawnee LOVED the cornbread dressing. We did not think he would ever stop eating it. That's our boy! :wheelchair: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
