Jakesmom1, welcome to the Dis!
I can only give you my experience with the Luau... My family has attended it many, many times and we all love it. This includes my son. He has attended it since he was young, and now he is a college student and wouldn't miss it for the world. We haven't attended the new show yet, but already have it booked for our upcoming trip. We expect to enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed the old Luau show. The Luau and Hoop-Dee-Doo are vacation traditions for my family.
