Spirit of Aloha Day of Arrival?

[Montegut]

We'll be arriving in Orlando on a Saturday, and checking the Luau schedule, it seems it is dark on Sunday and Monday, so our next available night would be mid week. Well, we're planning on doing Food and Wine mid week to avoid the crowds, so that leaves us with the Luau on either night of arrival, or wait until the following weekend.

Any suggestions on this?

We'd kind of like to sit and enjoy a show, but I'm worried about checking into our room, late flight, etc, making us late for the show.

How long is the show? Because we're going to be pretty tired from the traveling.

Thanks for any tips!

I would not schedule a fully pre-paid dinner show on arrival night. If your flight is delayed and you miss the show you'll lose the entire amount you've already paid. Also, if you think you'll be tired from traveling you probably won't enjoy the show. I would choose a night later in the week.

I scheduled our Aloha dinner for Friday night, the end of our week long stay. I don't know what park we'll do that day, maybe Animal Kingdom, but didn't want to wait until Saturday, our last full day at the park. We'll use Saturday as a catch up day, before we fly home the next afternoon.

We are doing a late dinner at California grill our day of arrival. We're staying at the Contemporary, so figure we can just crash after dinner and a long day of traveling and seeing some of the parks.
