Spirit of Aloha vs. Ohana

[BuzzLiteyear]

I have reservations for SOA in August. It seems as though the reviews are less than stellar . I would really like to hear from those who have done SOA and Ohana. If the show at SOA is great and the fod is ok, I might not be too worried. Besides DW and I, our three kids will be in attendance (ages 3, 5, and 11). Would they have a better time at Ohana? Any reviews, opinions, or advice is welcome. Thanks !

They're totally different. SOA is kind of cheesy, but we found a lot of it very entertaining. Ohana is really a restaurant that has activities for kids and a little entertainment, but not a show. SOA is a dinner show. The menus are very different. I preferred Ohana food. We did both in the same trip in '05 and possibly will do both again, definitely Ohana. It was just DH and I and our kids are grown, so I couldnt' tell you about kids there since we never took ours because we could barely afford WDW when they were small, much less those type places, but I can tell you at Ohana it's not constant activity. We did see all ages at both.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that the reviews for Ohana are consistantly on the good side. Food for thought .
