Actually, I am one of the critics. Saying that, I can see how people love it and do not like Hoop-Dee-Doo. That is what is so nice about WDW, there are different choises. We did not care for the Sprit of Aloha as much as the older version. Having seen both we have an advantage. I do think the food is one of the better parts of the show. Others have talked about how bad it was but we liked it. We probably will not go back but we already have ADR's for HDDR this coming May. We are taking our son and his family. The last time my son was at HDDR(about 10 years ago) he was choosen to go onstage as the Indian. We still have the still photo they took of him at home presented to us after the show...smjj
