Re: hoop dee doo

We usually go to Magic kingdom and take the boat from there to FW. It's a short walk from the dock the Hoop Dee Doo. Go early and walk around, FW can be fun.

Re: hoop dee doo

I second Teachers lesson! Why not make a trip of it. If you really want to travel around the world, take the bus to epcot, ride the monorail to TTC, Ride the monorail to MK, then take the boat.... That ought to take about an hour and a half!! You could get off the boat at WL and walk, but that would just be crazy!

If you just want to get there: Bus to TTC and Bus to FW. Not as much fun, though. Have a blast

Re: hoop dee doo

thanks beatman that one made me dizzy...It's not for me, it's for a family of four, two little girls, and I too thought the walk from WL would be fun then take the boat back to MK. Their first trip and I would like them to see as much as they could without overwellming them.

I agree. We usually just plan to go to HDDR on a night when we will be in MK anyway. Watching Wishes on the boat coming back to MK is quite the sight!

Re: hoop dee doo

The boat from MK to FW IS the single best option. It's even better than taking a bus to DTD and transferring to the FW bus or driving.
As others have said, the hall where they hold Hoop Dee Doo is near the dock so it's a short walk.
Other transportation options will have you transferring to an internal loop bus once you arrive at FW's main bus stop or parking lot because you simply aren't allowed drive your car inside FW and the main bus stop is just off the main road while Hoop Dee Doo is located by the lake.

That really is the easiest way to get there for people who just want to get there.

Re: hoop dee doo

We've never done this dinner, but every time I see a thread like this one, I feel like making a special trip just for HDD.

I am not familiar with the area behind WL -- is there a path that you can take to FW?

Yes, it's about a mile. We have walked it and it is a lovely walk. It is very natural and you can see lots of little critters in there. They also take the trail rides on this trail.

I agree the bus to boat to FW is the best route and then you can you eat and eat and eat. Ribs= YUMMY!!

I wouldn't walk it after dark though.
There are creatures in the woods and they're not always friendly.
