Originally Posted By sherrytodd The show is best from front and center, but we have seen the show from the side and from the back and still had a good time. They kind of divide up into three groups while performing and perform to the three sections of the seating so you will see the performers from any seating area. When the fire dancer performs he moves around the stage and performs to all three sections.

Originally Posted By SuperDry I cannot say how disappointed I was with the food. BBQ pork ribs are no comparison to a real Kalua pig prepared in the traditional manner (that is, cooked all day buried in the ground). Once you're set up to do it, it's not difficult to do, so I have to assume that it would be more expensive. Having Kalua pig is the best part of a luau, so excluding it from the dinner show at the Poly is a major disappointment, at least for me.
Originally Posted By nbodyhome I loved the luau when I was a kid, until about 10 years ago. Then the food changed, nowhere near as good as it once was.

Mom made the plans and made it the thing she was most looking forward to during the whole trip. Very dissapointed, but we got supreise stuff elsewhere that ended up making up for it!
