2025 Disney Vacation Club Hoop Dee Holiday – Everything You Need to Know

Hey Disney Vacationers! If you’re a Disney Vacation Club Member, you probably already know that December at Walt Disney World hits different. And in 2025, one of the newer DVC traditions is back: the Disney Vacation Club Hoop Dee Holiday at Fort Wilderness.

This isn’t just dinner and a show. It’s part exclusive Member event, part holiday tradition, and part down-home Christmas party. And if you’ve never been, let me walk you through exactly what makes this a can’t-miss DVC perk.

A Little History

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue has been a staple at Pioneer Hall in Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for decades. In recent years, Disney Vacation Club has added an exclusive holiday twist for Members: the Hoop Dee Holiday.

This version includes everything you love about the regular show—comedy, music, and that legendary all-you-care-to-enjoy feast—but with seasonal extras. Past years have included a themed pre-show, holiday décor, and a keepsake souvenir just for Members.

In 2024, for example, Members went home with a metal snowflake ornament featuring the Mickey DVC logo and icons for every DVC resort. It came in a soft case and quickly became a collector’s item.

What’s New for 2025

For 2025, Disney has confirmed the event is back with all the Member-exclusive perks you’d expect:

• A holiday-themed comedy and music show with the Pioneer Hall Players
• A full Hoop-Dee-Doo feast
• A keepsake souvenir (different from 2024 — Disney hasn’t revealed it yet, but expect another collectible piece)
• An exclusive Member pre-show experience

Pricing for 2025 is just $5 higher than regular Hoop-Dee-Doo shows, making it a great value when you factor in the extras.

Event Dates and Times

• Tuesday, December 9, 2025
• Tuesday, December 16, 2025
• Showtimes: 4:00 PM and 6:15 PM (doors open at these times, show begins 20 minutes later)

👉 Pro tip: plan to arrive 30 minutes early to check in and enjoy the pre-show without feeling rushed.

Location

• Pioneer Hall, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

And let’s be honest—just being at Fort Wilderness in December is an experience. Guests go all out with campsite decorations, from inflatable Disney characters to twinkling lights strung between RVs. It’s worth carving out time to walk or even rent a golf cart to explore.

Menu Highlights

Here’s what you can expect at the feast (all-you-care-to-enjoy):

• Starters: Tossed Mixed Greens, Fresh-baked Cornbread, Creamy Coleslaw
• Mains: Fried Chicken, Smoked BBQ Pork Ribs, Mac & Cheese, Cowboy Beans
• Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake (yes, it’s as good as it sounds)
• Beverages: Unlimited Draft Beer, Wine, Sangria (21+ with ID) and soft drinks

Note: Menu can change without notice, and dietary accommodations are available by contacting Member Services when you book.

Who Will Love This Event

• Families who want holiday laughs and comfort food
• DVC Members looking for a special perk to kick off December
• Holiday fans who live for seasonal décor, keepsakes, and themed events

It’s especially fun for kids who enjoy silly comedy, music, and being part of an interactive crowd.

• Each Member can bring up to 11 guests (total party of 12)

Transportation Tips

Getting to Pioneer Hall can take longer than you think, especially during the holidays:

• Resort Transportation: No direct buses from most resorts. Expect multiple transfers.
• Personal Vehicle: Park at Fort Wilderness and use internal buses (allow 30 minutes).
• Watercraft from Magic Kingdom: Allow up to 90 minutes for travel and transfers.
• Ride Share/Minnie Van: The easiest, though not always the cheapest, option.

If you’re going to explore the holiday campsite displays, budget extra time before or after the show.

Cancellation Policy

• Cancel at least 48 hours in advance to avoid losing the full cost.
• Dates, times, and event details are always subject to change.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Disney Vacation Club Hoop Dee Holiday is more than dinner and a show—it’s becoming a Disney holiday tradition that mixes exclusive Member perks with the best of Fort Wilderness. From the comedy and music to the collectible keepsake and holiday atmosphere, this event is one of the best ways for DVC Members to celebrate the season.

If you’re eligible, I’d say book it as soon as reservations open. Not only will you get a festive night of entertainment, but you’ll also make memories that will last forever.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
