The short: I did leave not 1000% sure of what the show was about, but it was enjoyable.

Deducting 2 stars because customer service was not great neither via phone nor the phone booth…read more I purchased tickets online $246 and didn't see there was a Florida resident offer until AFTER, wish they made this more clearer on their website. I attempted to contact their customer service via phone because I finally found the Florida resident offer on the site and it was down to $165 which is a chunk of savings. Wellll they never answered waited 20mins on the phone never answered and I attempted to email them, never got a reply, The $165 tickets ended up selling so I missed that window. When I got to the park and spoke to an agent at the booth wasn't really helpful. She stated the tickets were now $175 each so technically I already got my discount because my tickets were cheaper... which really, no I didn't had someone answered the phone... anyways whatever the money was spent already. We head upstairs, I purchased a Mickey pretzel and a lemonade. It was decent. Once you get inside everyone is getting to their seat, there wasn't that many people on staff to help you to your seat so everyone is kind of running around like a chicken with no head. what I didn't like about this event is that even after the show started I'm talking 45-50 mins into the show people are still arriving trying to sit down.. it was distracting.. Don't be fooled by the seats btw and thinking sitting at the front is the best view, the auditorium is small enough that all the seats have a great view. So honestly whatever tickets you buy they are just as great as the front front seats. The show itself was great, lots of action and talented cast members, the story was also heartwarming and interesting. It did drag a little I will say. They showed a lot of Disney characters overall so nice to see old characters like Bambi . It also had some funny moments. The cast members can tell when people were falling asleep or losing interest lol I would say for a kid this could get boring... until the acts start doing flips and tricks again.. Oh yeah, the seats were low key HARD and uncomfortable lol! 90mins no intermission was a little rough. Overall cute and good for a date night or with the family in town. I wouldn't go again though.

The dining room at Beauty and the Beast is stunning. The chandeliers, ceiling art, and overall…read morearchitecture are exactly what you expect from a Disney themed experience. It delivers spectacle and nostalgia at first glance and it sets the tone well. Visually it is impressive enough that you will take a moment just to look around before you think about the food. The food was better than expected. The blue cheese and walnut salad was fresh and well balanced with the right level of acidity. The entree portions were generous. The steak was cooked properly and came with a sauce that had depth. The chicken dish was flavorful and plated cleanly with roasted vegetables that had real color and brightness. Even the fries were elevated. The rose dessert is visually beautiful and clearly designed for photos. It tasted pleasant and light. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on point from the moment we sat down. Our glasses were never empty. She checked in often, smiled, and made the dinner feel warm and welcoming. We were lucky with our seating. When Beast came out for his performance, we were front and center which elevated the entire experience. I never did anything like this as a child, so experiencing it now as an adult with my boyfriend felt personal and special. It was money well spent to step into a childhood dream and enjoy it with someone I love. This is a fantastic experience that Disney offers to bring fantasy alive for children, and for adults who never had the chance to see it that way. I could not have been more pleased. In terms of value, the price matched the experience. It is not a restaurant I would visit solely for food, but that is not the point. The food supports the fantasy. The fantasy carries the experience. If you want immersion, nostalgia, beauty, and a well executed performance layered into dinner, then Beauty and the Beast delivers.

This is the place to be at Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island!…read more I happen to love live music and I love to watch Nicholas Marks preform. Nicholas calls himself a Gypsy Flamenco Guitarist. I was not sure exactly what that meant, but I am starting to understand now, after watching him many times. Nick performs at Downtown Disney 5 days a week, Tuesday thru Saturday nights (currently on the purple stage on Pleasure Island, but will be moving to a yet unannounced location for the development of the new Disney Springs Nick is totally self taught as an artist and is so much more talented than he even realizes. He made it to number 8 on America's Got Talent and is now working with a national network to develop his own series. But he takes time after each 30 minute set to greet fans and sign autographs and take photos. But the real reason to go watch Nicholas is the performance. He puts his heart and soul into each and every song. He plays above his head, behind his back, he plays while twirling the guitar on a tabletop where people are sitting. He will totally amaze you with his talent and his performance, and it's all free at Downtown Disney.

The entire cast was exceptional, displaying radiant energy and talent. The Dr. Phillips team greeted us, scanned our tickets, and directed us to our seats. The center is well-equipped with bars offering beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic $$) and snacks on every level and restrooms conveniently located throughout. You can prepay parking, or there is street parking available if you get there early and don't mind a short walk. Taking pictures is not allowed throughout the performance so be mindful. See you at the next show!

There are some amazing things about this theatre space…read more I love the way the doors can slide open so on nice Orlando nights it's like an open air entrance. I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

I've had the chance to experience the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue twice--once for my birthday and…read moreanother time with a group of colleagues--and both visits were an absolute blast! The energy from the performers is contagious, and they do a fantastic job getting the audience involved, making the show feel interactive and unique. The food was delicious, and you definitely won't leave hungry since it's all-you-care-to-enjoy. Everything was served family-style, and there was plenty to go around, making it a great value on top of the entertainment. My biggest piece of advice? Save room for the strawberry shortcake! It's the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. If you're looking for a classic Disney experience that's filled with laughs, music, and great food, Hoop-Dee-Doo is absolutely worth adding to your itinerary. While it's probably a one-and-done experience for me personally, I'm so glad I've done it--not just once, but twice. It's one of those iconic Disney experiences that everyone should try at least once!

Not sure what the big Hoop-Dee-Doo is... Unfortunately, the…read moreshow was more of a Hoop-Dee-Doo-Doo for me. Arriving in Fort Wilderness, the check-in process is very drawn out and poorly executed. It's amazing how simple every other restaurant in Disney can be. If you want your Annual Pass discount, you'll have to deal with a second long line. We were originally excited for a second floor seat, but the layout is just annoying. Swivel chairs line the railing, so you turn out toward the wall to eat and spin back around in a tight area to watch the show. The food could've saved the day being all you can eat and comfort foods. But the servers brought it out in the middle of the acts.. when it's pitch black and we are swiveled around... so it was cold by the time you were ready to eat. The all you can eat was accommodated by the server bringing out a full tray of each item and plopping down one or two items on each of their tables. The cast makes a huge deal with a musical number about the dessert... Strawberry Shortcake.. but it was honestly not the best dessert option. The show was definitely cute and old timey - with the whole place joining in a chorus of This Land Is Your Land and corny jokes, but I would highly suggest you leave as soon as you finish dessert. They hand out washboards and serving spoons to every table... which turns into a nightmare of banging and unnecessary showboating to gain attention from the characters. Was it worth marking off the experience? Yes. Would I suggest anyone venture to do it? No.

The venue is so…read morewell themed to really make it feel like an exclusive place, you really do not feel like you are in a theme park at all once you arrive. Food AND Drinks are ALL INCLUSIVE, so enjoy as much as you can as everything they have to offer is worth trying. My favorites were the desserts and villain themed cocktails. The event itself is very entertaining, you are sat down with your party and possibly others if you do not have more than 4 in your party and then given a card that gives you the times of when you can meet the villains, most of which were very entertaining and hilarious. If you love Disney villains and looking for a character event that doesn't really have many families or kids then this is the event to try! Book and reserve when you can as this event may only be for a limited time!

Join Malificient, Cruella de Vil, the Evil Queen, and the Queen of Hearts with Doctor Facilier for an evening of entertainment, food, and drinks. FOOD: Imagine New Orleans Cajun cuisine. That's what you'll get at Club Villain. There are two entree stations set up on either side of the venue and serve the same items. I tried everything - even if it was a nibble of it. I can't complain about the food. The highlight for me was the polenta (which I topped with shrimp) and the dirty rice with gumbo. I won't pretend to know Cajun cuisine; however, the food was good. Dessert was spectacular. Check out the pictures I took. DRINKS: All you can drink (within reason because I'm sure Disney won't mind cutting you off) - and you can definitely get your money's worth. There's four signature drinks, as well as beer and wine. If you aren't into alcoholic beverages, there's canned Coca Cola products, hot teas, and bottled waters. ENTERTAINMENT: Great show. It was so popular, they extended it from the original show dates. The show starts around the time you get in. There's various breaks where you can go visit the evil characters (or their sets) and take pictures. They divide the venue up and have set times for you to meet the characters, which makes for a more organized event. OVERALL: This is a definite must do at Disney. The cost may be a lot up front, but you definitely get your money's worth.
