Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

We are going to see the mouse at the end of Sept. for my DD's 6th birthday. We will be doing alot of character meals so am not looking for autograph opportunities. Which do you all recommend - HDDR or MBBQ? I have read reviews on allears but I still don't have a clear winner. Would love to hear mousebuzzers' thoughts.

Thanks!

I have been to both and I would most definetly go to Hoop Dee Doo and your DD would enjoy the Hoop Dee Doo much better and the food was great!

We've done both and Hoop Dee Doo is our clear winner. HDD has become a must do during most of our trips, we love it.

Re: Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

Hoop Dee Doo is an amazingly fun show! You won't forget it & the food is good, not the best food you'll have in WDW, but I think the salad & fried chicken is yummy. The show REALLY is great though.

HDDR hands down. The food is o.k. but the show is very fun and well worth it. This is a must do for us on every trip.

I love Hoop Dee Doo. We had dinner there for my cousins birthday in January. The show is great and the food was good.

I will have to agree with the others even though we haven't done either yet but have heard nothing but good things about HDDR

Re: Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

We have never done Mickeys BBQ but Hoop Dee Doo was great, my baby even loved it. My kids were not particularly fond of the food but they LOVED the show and the atmosphere, the kids were even picked to ring the dinner bell, so cute!

Re: Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

Have done both - Hoop de Doo is a MUST for us!! We love it.

BBQ - one of the few things at Disney that we will never do again!

So...by far I would go with the Hoop de Doo - DD8 had done it when she was 3, 6 & 8 and has loved it every time!

Re: Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

Thanks to everyone. I have my answer. Hoop de Doo sounds like the clear winner. Can't wait to try it (assuming we're able to get and ADR). Has anyone done the early show with the hopes of doing the Chip n Dale Campfire Sing a long afterwards? Too ambitious?

Re: Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's BBQ?

The camp fire thingy is soooo much fun. If you have not tried it, then you must give it a try.
