Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show

Frommer's Review

While not quite as much in demand as the Hoop-Dee-Doo, the Polynesian Resort's delightful 2-hour show is like a big neighborhood party. It features Tahitian, Samoan, Hawaiian, and Polynesian singers, drummers, and dancers who entertain you while you feast on a menu that includes tropical appetizers, lanai roasted chicken, Polynesian wild rice, South Seas vegetables, dessert, wine, beer, and other beverages. It all takes place 5 nights a week in an open-air theater (dress for nighttime weather and bring the sweaters) with candlelit tables, red-flame lanterns, and tapa paintings on the walls. Reservations should be made 60 to 90 days in advance (but can be made up to 180 days in advance -- full payment is expected when booking), especially during peak periods such as summer and holidays. Like the Hoop-De-Doo Musical Review, the Spirit of Aloha is now priced in tiers -- the closer you sit to the stage, the higher the price you'll pay. Show times are 5:15 and 8pm Tuesday through Saturday. Note: Not all the seats for this one are equal, so paying for a better seat is the way to go -- but I must warn that the resulting price is really too high for the value received from the production as a whole.
