Reserving a Spot
A dinner show usually takes 2 table service credit per person from the Disney Dining Plan or Deluxe Dining Plan. Otherwise it will set you back at least $60.00 per person. If you are planning to attend one of these dinner shows, it is suggested that you book in advance as soon as you can. Dinner shows like the Spirit of Aloha fills up very quickly. We reserved our seats 180 days in advance of our arrival. There are three categories of seating available. Category 1 will put you dead center of everything with the best views in the house. It also would require out-of-pocket payment when booking. Category 2 or 3 seats are available for those who plan to use their dining plan credits. We were fortunate enough to have booked early enough to get front tables in Category 2.

Getting There
Allot time to get to the Luau Cove, which is where the dinner show is held. It’s a long walk from the lobby of the Polynesian Village Resort.

Getting In
We finally arrived in the cove. There is a table that you have to check-in. Disney recommends getting your show tickets from your hotel lobby. Having been in a hurry to make it in time, we forgot to do so. It was not an issue–thank goodness! I really did not want to walk all the way back to the lobby during rainfall. The hosts were able to look up our reservation. After which, we were escorted to our seats.The Atmosphere

The Service
There’s really not much interaction with the wait staff as the food is served family banquet style. They are, however, attentive when you needed a drink refill.The Show

It’s been about 10 years since we gave the Spirit of Aloha luau a go; for years we were regulars! Thanks for the thorough update. Aloha!
