By far one of the best exclusive Disney Dining event with characters I've been to. 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!

Imagine that some of your favorite villains took over Disney for one night. That's basically the…read morepremise behind Club Villain. 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.

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!

It's been at Disney for 52 years and is one of the country's longest running dinner shows with over 37,000 performances so far! My husband and I had such a great time, I only wish it hadn't taken me so long to see it but I will definitely go back again! The food was delicious and it's all you can eat and also includes all the beer, wine and sangria (21+) or soft drinks and iced tea that you can drink. Food includes fried chicken, pork ribs, cornbread, coleslaw, salad, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and baked beans. For dessert you get a delicious strawberry shortcake. When you make reservations and also when you check in, you are asked if you have any dietary restrictions or prefer a plant based meal. The food is served family style, which I always love because it's a fun way to eat. Everything about this meal was delicious so it's hard for me to pick a favorite. Our server, Chrissy was just amazing. There was never a glass left unfilled and our plates were never empty. The show was so much fun and included audience participation and in true Disney fashion, the performers were highly talented and highly entertaining. The price was excellent at only $70 per ticket. We had seating in the balcony which I was worried about at first, but once we got in there, and I was able to look around I saw that the balcony was actually the better place to be seated and I definitely would get seating in the balcony again. Getting there was half the fun, you take a bus to Pioneer Hall where the store is held, from The Outpost located within Fort Wilderness. It's great because there's some horses and a couple of stables you can look at as well as a general store and a tavern. I highly recommend doing this at least once. We spoke to several people there who had gone before and liked it so much that they were seeing it for the second and even third time!

From the moment the show begins, it's packed with energy, humor, and incredible live vocals that bring the story of Frozen to life in such a fun and interactive way. The royal historians are hilarious and keep the crowd laughing the entire time, while Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff make magical appearances that feel straight out of the movie. The theater itself is beautiful and immersive, and when it "snows" inside during "Let It Go," it creates such a memorable, almost magical moment. Whether you're a huge Frozen fan or just looking for a break from the Florida heat, this show is the perfect mix of entertainment and comfort. It's great for all ages, super engaging, and honestly one of the highlights of the park. Five stars all the way!

It is located in Hollywood Studios, in the old theatre where American Idol used to be. It is a sing along version on Frozen, which uses live actors. It is so incredibly funny and fun. We do really love to come here every time we visit, but especially in the summer when it is so incredibly hot outside. It is a large theatre, with tons of seating. It is very cool inside and a great way to cool down. The show is lead by the narrators who 100% make this show. They are comedic and engaging and incredibly funny. They help to tell us the store of Frozen. There are a few surprise characters that come out including Anna, Kristoff and of course Elsa. There are also opportunities to sing along but if you do not know the song, there are subtitles so everyone can participate. The ending is very sweet and Elsa makes it snow! This part gets me every time, children smile ear to ear, its so sweet and just so magical. Overall this is one of the best shows at Studios. We see it every time we visit. Comfy seats, comedy act and sing a long, cant get much better!

Additionally they had two choirs sing and also an opera singer. The past few years I have been appreciating classical music and that is because I had seen the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra play a live outdoor show for free and I was amazed. The music is so immersive and entertaining. Steinmetz Hall is beautiful. The seats are comfortable, and there is a good view from every seat. Additionally, if you get there early, there is usually a lobby concert by a local school band which we also enjoy. We used Valet Parking. They have a new way of paying. You pay online, not at the kiosk.

One perk (I think) is being invited to the exciting announcement of the next season's program. It was held at Plaza Live, which is where OPO has its offices, and the venue for some of their concerts (Focus Series). They had an open bar with some finger foods to nibble on before the announcement took place. This will be one reason for our intention to renew next season. Sadly, no Mahler next year either, but Shostakovich violin concerto!? And like the Atlanta Symphony, they just happen to be doing Scheherazade! Can't wait!

Let me just start off by saying this... If I could make it five stars larger like five giant Mickey…read moreMouse gold stars encrusted in diamonds... That is exactly what I would rate this show. I shouldn't even call it the show because it is an orchestra masterpiece performed live! So let's recap the stars here that's five stars all day long five stars five stars five stars. OK OK I get it so if it's so awesome let me tell you about it... But here it comes. This show Pixar live was a seasonal, and I guarantee you to either continue or come back annually or biannually because it was a smash hit. As a season pass holders over the last few weeks since our passes came out of summer black out we really gotten caught up on our visits and unfortunately prior to Sunday, 26 August we were unable to get a fast pass for the show and it always feels up to maximum capacity! So I said to myself self, what's the deal? Why is it so awesome these people are asking you to tell the wife so awesome so let me tell you. The show is located inside the beauty in the beast theater right next to phantasmic. The shows were in the afternoon and early evening, obviously after the beauty in the beast performances for the day we're done. We weren't really sure what to expect because first what I heard The music of Pixar, I am vision and a bunch of characters you know flopping around and dancing on the stage to Pixar songs. Well, just not for kids but I figured why not give it a try. It wasn't until we actually read the description that we saw that there was a Philharmonic Orchestra that was playing the Pixar music... Mind officially blown. There were plenty of other visits from Pixar and Disney characters booty, buzz Doug, Jessie the cowgirl and a bunch of others but the real tree was A surprise preshow by the green army soldier's! Do you guys or a riot they ran up and down the isles grabbing stuff playing with stuff getting people up and about they were really whooping it up I got a Telya. Then the sergeant arrived who actually was miked in speaking and he was absolutely too too too funny it made for the most enjoyable preshow I've been to and I can't even tell you how long. And this was just leading up to it was going to be an amazing show. So lo and behold let me quickly review the performance... It goes without saying that it was absolutely phenomenal phenomenal absolutely phenomenal picture puts such incredible emphasis on the movie store so that it draws so much emotion out of you without you even realizing it. In fact if you take a look at the first several minutes of the movie up there is virtually no talking whatsoever but it's one of the most emotionally and touching portions of the movie and buy seen it before live with clips of the movie that corresponded with that music was absolutely my blind to see how powerful beautiful music was and enjoy it with the visuals of the movies we know so well. It goes without saying now that it was absolutely fantastic. But it's with great regret that I say to you for now as of August 27, 2017 the show was seasonal and had since closed. Again we were so lucky to see it the day before the clothes but in all seriousness it's really one of those things I hope and pray to God that they will bring back for a regular show. I have quite a few video clips and pictures take a look at them on my profile! Thanks for looking and if you're looking to come to come to Orlando, check out my other reviews I love to show love for Orlando and Disney. So lots of reviews and lots of pictures to get you hyped up for your trip! Shoot even add me as a buddy and you'll see all my Disney reviews as a rollout.

I thought it would just be an orchestra playing music from Pixar movies, but they included clips from the movies playing in the background. Also, before they start playing the music, characters from the movie would come out and do a little skit before the music starts so that was a special treat. If you thought you would only tear up while watching the Pixar movies, think again. Upon hearing the music and seeing the movie clips, I felt tears in my eyes.. yes I'm talking about you, Up!! So if you have time or need a place to hide out from the rain, this is a good place to do so. It's in the same theatre as the Beauty and the Beast show.

This was an awesome seasonal addition to Disney's Hollywood Studios!…read more As the parks get incredibly busy during the holiday season, they put a lot of effort into ensuring that all their visitors have ample entertainment offerings, in addition to the usual line ups. One seasonal feature at DHS is the Comedy Warehouse Holiday Hijinx show. Previously, this show has taken place in the old "Sounds Dangerous" building, but this year they moved it to the former American Idol Experience theater, which is even bigger! For those that remember the now-defunct Pleasure Island nighttime entertainment complex, you may remember the Comedy Warehouse, a venue featuring a troupe of talented improv comment performing several shows nightly. The show at Hollywood Studios borrows the improv format AND many of the original members of the Comedy Warehouse troupe. The show featured several funny, holiday themed skits and songs, with a cast of five comics and a live pianist. It was a lot of fun! While it is Disney and there are obviously many kids in the audience, the show is family friendly, with a few PG-13 jokes thrown into the mix. (That probably go over the little one's heads). Like many, I was a fan of Comedy Warehouse in its Pleasure Island days, so I enjoy seeing this reincarnation! The cast is very talented and funny, so I'd love to see this show become a more common offering! Tons of fun!

Anything in the Parks that get you off your feet and into the icy cold a/c is wonderful! I'm mainly writing this review because the line to get into the theatre gets extremely long and I hear people talking about whether they are going to get in or not when waiting for a show. The place is huge, so worry not. However, if you want good seats, I'd advise you to get there at least an hour before a show is going to start, if not a little more than an hour.
