Spirit of Aloha or Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

[Disney28]

We are staying at the Polynesian in June, and have not been to either show. DKs are 9, 7, and 5. I was wondering what everyone's opinion would be if you had to chose one. We are on the dining plan. Thanks for the great input!

I will always vote for Hoop-Dee-Doo. It is just plain fun and entertaining. There seem to be mixed reviews on the Spirit of Aloha show, but HDD is always a favourite.

We've been a number of times, and will go back again. The show is fun, the food is good, nothing negative to say about it at all.

Enjoy !

I've asked this question a couple of times, and so far haven't found ANYONE who like Spirit of Aloha. I really wanted to try it, but the opinions seemed pretty unanimous...

Very common question:

The general consensus is, HDD is the better show. I'd skip the Luau even if someone else was footing the bill.

I cannot wait to go to the HDDR for the first time in Sept.. My co-worker and his family go every trip and they love it, so since we're all going to be in wdw at the same time, they asked me to go with them and they said I won't regret it. I've been to the luau before and probably won't do it again.

No question, Hoop Dee Doo!

For what it is worth, I have heard one person say that they like the Spirit of Aloha, and her review was "It's fun to do once, it's so corny!" And even she prefers Hoop de Do.

I would say between the two I would go with Hoop De Doo...it is funny and entertaining and we would go see it again and again. We had a great time there. Slap stick comedy is always a plus for our family.
If you have never done the Spirit of Aloha it is good and entertaining, just a little cheesy, but worth doing at least once.

just another quick vote for HDD. We were there last week and were pleasantly surprised at how great it was! My husband, easy to criticize, even commented on how tasty the food was. We had a great table in the front and our 5 yr old was even selected to go up on stage.

Only critical comment is that the sangria, while tasty - was VERY weak. We weren't looking to get drunk or even tipsy but...the word 'sangria' implies SOME alcohol (at least to us) and I would bet there was no more than a teaspoon per glass.

Everything else was GREAT!! - including the service and we were a party of 10!

Just a quick thanks for the help! HDD is booked!
