From Homecomin’ to Hoop-Dee-Doo: Our Disney Trip Recap

Published by Jeremy Stein on

We’re looking back at our recent Walt Disney World trip, and we’ve got a little bit of everything. There’s a meal at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ that didn’t go as planned, a hotel parking charge that grinds our gears, a night at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and a dinner show where the strawberry shortcake gets its own moment in the spotlight.

Homecomin’ Goes Sideways, Parking Fees Grind Our Gears & Mickey Throws a Halloween Party

We start at Disney Springs with Homecomin’. We’ll get into what we were looking forward to, where the visit went sideways, and how it left us feeling about a return trip. Then we check in at Home2 Suites by Hilton at Flamingo Crossings and talk about what it’s like to stay there during a Disney trip. And yes, we’re talking about hotel parking charges and why paying extra to park at the place you’re already paying to sleep grinds some gears.

From there, we head to Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We’ll share how we spent our party time, what stood out, and what we’d keep in mind for another Halloween night in the park.

Hoop-Dee-Doo Review: Fried Chicken, Corny Jokes & Is It Worth the Price?

We wrap things up at Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground with our review of Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. We’ll cover the showtimes, ticket prices, and what comes with the family-style dinner, from fried chicken and smoked ribs to the sides and that strawberry shortcake. Then we’ll get into our experience and whether we’d go back for another round of dinner and corny jokes. If you’re planning a Disney trip, you’ll hear how these four stops fit into ours and what we’d think about before doing them again.
