One of the Best Dining Deals in Disney

How do you find a great dining deal in Disney World? It’s not easy. The prices are high, the food quality varies, and the service can be all over the place.

For this overview I’m aiming for the overall package. For the money what gives you the best combination of food, atmosphere, entertainment, value, and service?

First of all most “Signature Dining” locations are eliminated. The price point is too high to really fall into the value category. I’m not saying some of them are not worth the money. They are just don’t fit the bill for what I’m looking for.

What about buffets? You can stuff yourself silly at an ok price.

Buffets don’t fit the bill either. The service isn’t that great, the atmosphere at most buffets isn’t good either. Then there is the food. Buffet food has never been top notch.

One of the best values in all of Disney World might surprise you. It’s the Hoop Dee Doo.

You might balk at that right away and say that’s too expensive. Consider this:

Atmosphere – Pioneer hall is great. It’s a nicely themed building and is very rustic inside.

Show – It is arguably the best show in all of Disney World.

Food – The ribs are the best I’ve had in Disney World. The corn bread is great. The salad is fantastic. The chicken is decent. Even the beans are good. The strawberry shortcake is awesome. Plus it’s all you can eat.

Service – The servers are very good. They even take part in the show.

Wild Card – Yes the Hoop Dee Doo has a wild card. It’s the wild card that makes it the best value. It’s all you can drink. Last time I was there, I put away four beers. At Disney prices that’s about $30 worth of booze. Considering that, I paid about $25 to stuff myself with great food, watch a great show, and get great service. Plus the tip was included.
