Hoop Dee Doo Revue- A Review

Hoop De Dee Revue is one of the best valued things to do at disney, as a cast member. Cast members can receive up to 50% off HDDR almost all throughout the year. HDDR usually costs around $70-80 depending on where you sit. For a cast member you pay $35 (ish) and that includes: All you can eat dinner, All you can drink beer wine and sangria, and a wonderful show (gratuities are also included)! The pricing depends on what area you sit in. I don't recommend the tier 1 seating unless the budget isn't important. The performers wander throughout the entire venue and the worst seats don't seem too bad. The food at HDDR is southern home cookin' type food. They generally serve buckets of fried chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, veggies, corn bread, salad, and strawberry shortcake for dessert! When I visited HDDR I was still only eating fish. Luckily Disney is the best at accommodating dietary restrictions. I was able to have a WONDERFUL plate of salmon on a huge bed of veggies. If you are a mac and cheese lover make sure to ask for it. The mac and cheese isn't advertised, but you can certainly order it for no charge. As a pescetarian I was given a special menu upon being seated. I informed my server that I did not eat chicken or ribs. The menu had a pasta option and a veggie plate option as well. You do not have to make any special arrangements ahead of time for the special dinners. The speciality plates are not all you can eat, but no worries the portions are HUGE and you can still devour all of the side dishes you wish!

So being a pescetarian (vegetaraian + seafood) has it's challenges. It is almost impossible to get food in a drive thru anymore. I miss grabbing Zaxbys and Chickfila for lunch. Now I eat Panera almost 4 days a week sometimes. But their Greek salad is to die for! Anyways... I have to cook most of my meals to save money and match my diet. This evening my boyfriends roomie's girlfriend had a buffalo chicken dip she made. Omgsh it looked amazing, but it killed me not being able to try it. So in search of finding something to match that dip (slightly) I jumped on Pinterest. I swear everything I make off Pinterest is a complete failure. Hopefully the recipes I found won't be a failure ( I will blog about the ones I try..oh boy)

Here is the vegetarian buffalo chicken dip I am going to try

Vegetarian Buffalo Chicken Dip

Looks amazing, right?! Well I guess I will find out in a few days.

In the mean time I am continuing to stare at my dash into the wee hours of the night. You would think that I would have figured out by now that the recruiters aren't in their offices NLIC people at 1am..Oh well..

Hope everyone has a magical day today :)
