We're going to try and do a dinner show sometime this year. I know of Spirit of Aloha and Hoop De Doo. Are there others? Which one should we choose? We'll be taking both kids (7 and 2) and possibly parents. Confession: we haven't been to ANY of these guys. I'm so ashamed 
I want to try Mickey's Backyard BBQ.
My vote goes to Hoop de Doo Review. Hardest I ever laughed at WDW. And a darned good meal too. 
I agree with VL on this one. I would rate them is this order for adults, Spirit of Aloha, Hoop de Doo and I would have to put Mickeys BBQ last. We have done all three. Your Two year old would love the BBQ but the rest of you would not. The food is just okay at best and it is really geared towards young kids. We find that younger kids tend to get bored at the Luau. So I ink your best bet with kids would be Hoop De Doo.
I am so pleased you asked this as we want to do one too and shockingly we have never done one either! I was leaning towards hoop de doo or Aloha

I haven't heard great things about the food or service at the Luau, so I would probably pick the Hoop-de-Doo.
I really want to try the Luau and love, but I know how picky I am, so I hesitate.

Well Kristen, we have been to the Luau several time recently and I will say the food has been delicious every time and they will bring you as much as you want!. And what resataurant can't use more wait staff at time. Also domestic beer and wine is included. We were unfortunate enough to experience someone at a nearby table over indulging in the free beer and making an ass out of themselves.

Fantastic! That's so good to hear, maybe I'll make reservations when we're down next year.
We have never done a show either! I have been wanting to do Hoop De Doo Review.
