Wednesday @ EPCOT & Hoop De Doo
Baby gets to visit EPCOT! We ate breakfast & headed over to EPCOT for the first half of the day. We were excited to see that crowds were super light. We got a fast pass to Soarin' and then went to visit Nemo & Friends. We tried to visit with Figment, but he wasn't around and "Journey into Imagination" was down. :( Andy went to ride Test Track as a single rider and I shopped and walked around. We walked around for a bit and then had lunch. We headed back for Soarin', which is truly one of our favorite if not TOP favorite ride these days! We walked around a little more and checked to see Imagination was still down. We rode Space Ship Earth wich is so cute with the new "personal" little videos at the end, what a cute touch!!! I decided 4 hours was all Baby and I could take without a nap and we headed back for rest time!!
If you haven't been to Hoop De Doo before, you really must go!! It's one of our favorite things to do and places to eat now! The food is fantastic, probably the best in the entire resort for us "plain food" kinda people. Fried Chicken, BBQ ribs, mashed taters, baked beans, a pan of cornbread & salad. All you want, brought in buckets and slammed on your table, giving you a slight heart attack!! The show is so quirky, country and a darn hoot!! It reminds us of something that should be in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge in the mountains with it's total hillbilly flare! The cast is very small, only 6 people. It is a really cute show though and you will laugh, a ton!! People of all ages can appreciate the show. There is audience participation with clapping and singing along, it's a rowdy and fun evening!!The show is at the Campground and visiting there is an adventure in itself. You can get there by bus (you have to take two), drive (and then take the internal bus) or boat. There is so much to see and do there if you have extra days to visit. They have horse back riding, trails, Mickey's Back Yard BBQ, movies on a big screen outside, wagon rides & carriage rides. It's a HUGE and really neat place!!
This is a video of the "dessert song". They are singing about the strawberry shortcake which is about to be delivered to the tables. We were seated near the back which are still great seats b/c the characters come into the audience continually. Last time we were at the table next to the stage. The video isn't great b/c of where we were, but you get the idea. The building is kind of like the one that houses the "Country Bear Jamboree", cute cute cute!

Mon if you park at Wilderness Lodge you can take the boat to Hoop De Doo and it's a short walk from the docks. Much better way to get there than take the buses through the campground. It is a fun show, I think we've done it three times, and it is the best food.
Yeah, we usually do it on our "off" day and go to TTC or something. Then ride the monorail to Contemporary and boat from there. Or something wild and crazy to just visit resorts. This time we were trying to be a little faster. It wasn't too bad. I would for sure want a golf cart if I stayed there though. Waiting on a bus (or two at a time) daily for everything would not work well for me.
