Spirit of Aloha or Hoop dee doo ??

[KatInHat]

Can anyone tell me about either Spirit of Aloha or Hoop dee doo Review?
I'd like to know about the show and the food at each.. anybody have pictures?
My boys are 8 and 5 .. which do you think they would enjoy more?
If anyone has done both which would you recommend if you could only choose one?
TIA

I think Hoop De Doo is far superior in food and the show - we really love it.

Your kids are the perfect age, they will find it hilarious.

I've only done SOA, but we've scheduled HDDR for this Nov. I can tell you from being on these boards for 3 years, that most people are going to tell you to do HDDR and that SOA is cheesy, not a real luau (not supposed to be, just the "spirit" of), not entertaining for most kids and food's not great.
