Hi Fanny,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Hooray!
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review is such a blast, and with a big group all going together, I know you're going to have a memorable meal.
There really isn't a bad seat in the house, so no matter which category you choose, you'll have a great view. The performers are also terrific at making their way into the crowd and involving everyone, no matter where they're seated. To see a floor plan of the 3 seating categories to get an idea of where you might be seated, just visit the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review page and scroll to the bottom. Category 1 seats are on the floor closest to the stage, front and center. Category 2 will place you on the floor under the balcony, with some seats in the front up in the balcony section. Category 3 seating is on either side up in the balcony. If location and view are what you're after, I'd recommend Category 2 for your group and this would be my personal choice if Category 1 is not available. Some families prefer Category 3 since it sometimes is less crowded (and the price is a bit lower), but still gives you the full hootenanny experience.
I hope that helps with your decision, Fanny! Please say hello to Claire de Lune, Six Bits Slocum and the rest of the gang for me!
Wishing you a Disney day!
Beth
