Originally Posted By DlandDug A slightly revised version would probably work there. I assume that Hoop de Doo draws its audience mostly from tourists, though. Disneyland draws overwhelmingly from locals. I would take out of town guests to Hoop de Doo. Don't know that I would want to see it multiple times, though. I have seen it exactly twice at WDW.

Originally Posted By ni_teach I do not think that the Hoop Dee Doo would fit into the Horseshoe. The building and kitchen is just not designed to hold enough people to make the kind of profit the Disney would need pull this off.

Originally Posted By Labuda ^^ True dat! At WDW, it's a major bargain for me to get a $40-a-day meal plan, whereas at DLR, I'd be wasting money doing that!
Originally Posted By Dlmusic I would have to say that Hoop-De-Doo-Revue was fairly bland to me. I wouldn't expect it to do that well in California. I think Billy Hill or the Golden Horseshoe Variety Show are much more entertaining.
