DVC members get four holiday Hoop-Dee-Doo shows at Fort Wilderness this year. Adult prices match 2025, but kids' tickets dropped by $5 in every seating category.
The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is putting on its holiday best again, but only for Disney Vacation Club members and their guests.
Hoop Dee Holidays returns to Pioneer Hall at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and Tuesday, Dec. 8, WDWMagic reported Nov. 3. Shows run at 4 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. both nights, so there are four performances total.
Adult tickets run $75 to $83, with tax and tip included. Kids 3 to 9 pay $40 to $45. That's $5 less per kid than last year in every category, while adult prices didn't budge.
Only DVC members eligible for Membership Extras can book. The good news for everybody else: a member can bring up to 11 guests.
Here's a look at Fort Wilderness and the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue:
Is Hoop-Dee-Doo closed to regular Disney World guests?
No. Some headlines made it sound like Disney is locking regular guests out of the dinner show. That's a stretch.
The member-only shows are the Hoop Dee Holidays performances on Dec. 1 and Dec. 8. Nothing in the announcement changes regular Hoop-Dee-Doo bookings on other nights.
If you're not a DVC member and you want a holiday Hoop-Dee-Doo, your best move is finding a friend who owns points. Bring them a casserole or something.
How much does Hoop Dee Holidays 2026 cost?
Prices include tax and gratuity, and you pay in full when you book:
Category 1: $83 for ages 10 and up, $45 for ages 3 to 9
Category 2: $79 for ages 10 and up, $41 for ages 3 to 9
Category 3: $75 for ages 10 and up, $40 for ages 3 to 9
Category 3 seats are on Pioneer Hall's second floor, which has no elevator. Plan accordingly if anybody in your group has trouble with stairs.
Here's how this year compares with the event's past prices for the top seats:
2023: $79 adults, $49 kids
2025: $83 adults, $50 kids
2026: $83 adults, $45 kids
So kids' prices are the lowest the event has charged in any year we found. For a family of four with two kids in Category 1, that's $10 back in your pocket compared with last year. Not life-changing, but it covers a churro.
How do DVC members book Hoop Dee Holidays?
Call DVC Member Services at (800) 800-9800. A few rules apply:
Eligibility: You need to qualify for Membership Extras.
Limit: One show date per membership.
Party size: Up to 12 people, counting the member.
Payment: Full price at booking.
Cancellations: Cancel at least 48 hours ahead, or you lose the full price.
ID check: The member named on the Digital Membership Card has to attend and bring photo ID.
WDWMagic's report didn't list a booking open date. Last year, booking opened Oct. 10 for shows on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16, and Diservations warned tables would go fast. With Dec. 1 less than four weeks away, members should call soon.
Arrive about 30 minutes before showtime to check in.
What's different from the regular Hoop-Dee-Doo show?
The regular Hoop-Dee-Doo is Disney World's long-running Wild West dinner show. The Pioneer Hall Players sing, crack corny jokes and keep the all-you-care-to-eat fried chicken, ribs and strawberry shortcake coming.
Hoop Dee Holidays keeps that format and adds a few member perks:
A festive music and comedy revue with holiday touches
A member-exclusive pre-show
A keepsake to take home
DVC hasn't shared the full 2026 menu or what the keepsake is.
How do you get to Fort Wilderness for Hoop-Dee-Doo?
Give yourself extra time. Fort Wilderness is big, and Pioneer Hall sits deep inside it.
If you're not staying at the campground, park at the main entrance and take the internal bus to Settlement Depot. Boats also run to Fort Wilderness from the Magic Kingdom area, DVC News noted last year.
DVC first offered Hoop Dee Holidays in 2023, with shows on Nov. 28 and Dec. 12 that year. It keeps coming back, so it's clearly a keeper. Yee-haw, and happy holidays.
