I attended the 5:15pm Spirit of Aloha show on 10/20/09 with my husband and 3 children (ages 9,7, and 3). We were told to arrive 30 minutes early, but all you do is get your picture taken and wait in a holding area until 5:15. There is an outdoor bar available for drinks. Tables are pre-assigned when you make your... more

I booked this because my 9-year old daughter wanted to see this rather than characters at Disney. I was pleasantly surprised by the food - it was good. I thought the salad was really good at the beginning and the ribs and chicken were fine; not outstanding, but good. The service from our waiter was decent too - he came... more

This show used to be one of the best dinner shows Disney had. It was all polynesian dancing and lore. But then Lilo and Stitch had to come along and ruin it for everybody. It's not like the kids don't get enough cartoon characters in the rest of the park, must they infiltrate everywhere? Now the first part of the... more

My first advice - pay for the closer seating, its worth it. As for the show, it started out pretty cheesy, with a storyline I couldn't quite hear. The best part was the 'native' dances that follow with the second part of the show. The appetizers served (pineapple, coconut bread, and salad) were very tasty and I enjoyed them very... more

I do agree with other reviews that we were told to "get there early" ( which basically is a $30 photo op for you ) so you get there and stand in line for your photo and then they coral you into this space and you stand there for an hour.... um not the best planning I have seen -... more

The show itself was pretty good. The fire dancer at the end was one of the best we have seen in our travels. Just hope that you are lucky enough to be seated where you can see it. We made our reservations 6 months in advance. We also arrived an hour early as we were told to. We were also... more

We paid $300 for Category 1 seats for a family of 4. We did have wonderful upfront seating, so if this is important to you then the extra cost is worth it. We attended this showing on New Years Eve and expected some kind of New Years celebration but there was none, just the regular show. As others have stated,... more

There are plenty of other places at Disney World to spend your money, don't waste it at the Spirit of Aloha show. They tell you to get there early, we were the first in line, and we waited in line for at least an hour!!!! It was way unorganized!!! The food was ok, but not worth the money! The show... more

please don't get caught up in the hype surrounding this place like we did. Were sorry we went. The show was dreadful, the service was rushed. The food was ok, but they don't give you much time to enjoy it. They pack way to many people inside, and there are alot of tables with very poor viewing. The show talent... more

My husband and I attended this dinner show on our first night during our recent September vacation to Disney. We were staying at the Polynesian and had been looking forward to this show for quite awhile. We honeymooned in Hawaii and attended 2 authentic luaus and we were excited to see Disney's twist on it. But it ended up being... more
