Okay, I have to vent a little bit here. How could you possibly expect it to be as good or better than an actual authentic luau that you actually saw IN Hawaii???? Please relax. No, I don't expect it to be "as good or better than an actual authentic luau." I was asking if it is a good show, and will I be disappointed. Different questions.
That's like asking if the Jungle Cruise is "like" a real cruise through a jungle.
Or if the Kilamanjaro Safari is "like" a real safari in Africa. Right. I understand. Not trying to make that comparison at all.
It's Walt Disney World for crying out loud! Everything is wonderful and fun and interesting and a blast! Well, I wouldn't say everything, but yes most things are fun and interesting and a blast. That's why I keep going back. It's not Dennys food with your local junior high school students putting on a show. That's good to know. I would hope it would be better than that.
It's a multimillion dollar show put on by well paid, hard working actors with good food to "entertain" you.
You're on vacation! Yes, and since I am not wealthy I want to make sure I am using my money in the most appropriate way for me. So many people get crazy about "wasting" two table services on what may not be as good of a show as the one they saw in Hawaii!!!! Unless the show was horrible, I probably wouldn't feel like I had "wasted" 2 TS credits. Just wanted to have some sort of comparison. For example, is it a hokey, comical type show, or is it a serious "authentic" type show. I think this is a legitimate question.
It sounds like you've already seen this... No, I haven't. That's why I'm asking.
go see the Hoop De Doo instead then! Unless of course you're scared of that food being "lousy" too. Actually, we're going to HDDR in August. I'm not scared. Thanks for your concern.
My family absolutely loved the SoA show and food. Our DD6 went up on stage and was taught how to dance along with all the other kids. She loved it and we loved watching her.
The look on her face when the drums reached a crescendo and the fire twirler was really moving was priceless. Good! That's the kind of feedback I was looking for. Sounds like it was worth every penny for you.
The rest of the show was entertaining. Was it "corny?" Maybe. Isn't The Hall of Presidents a bit corny? Isn't just about everything at WDW a bit "corny" if you look at it that way?
Go. Relax. Don't compare it to the real thing. Sit back and think about how hard it is to put on the show a couple times a day, everyday, for years and years and years.
And enjoy the food too!
