I was an altar boy at Luau Cove in 1990 on our trip. Thanks a lot Dad....hahaha

Thanks. I loved the old services at the Luau Cove, and as I remember they took up an offering that went to a local homeless shelter. There was a rotating set of ministers, I think, who did it. Beautiful venue, and a nice time for it.

I know that when they stopped they said was because services were offered offsite, and that no everyone could be accommodated, but I think since getting off site can be a task (and not to mention Disney's favorite reason for keeping you onsite, that it can also lead to you considering other things while outside), it would seem to me to be reasonable to allow them again at the Luau Cove. It didn't take any cost for Disney that I could see, and ran smoothly for all those years. It was all volunteer, from what I understood. Seems like a nice service for guests to me. (Even other faiths who might want to do the same thing, as long as the venue is available as it is in mornings.) I am sure people ate or bought souvenirs also at the Poly after the service...

Yes, while some people left to go to the parks following the service, many others (myself included) would go inside the Polynesian and have breakfast.

It was a good advertising opportunity for the Polynesian to showcase their beautiful property. People who were not guests of the resort, would go there for Sunday services; and then they'd check out the property on their way to or from their own resort, or park destination. Going to my first Sunday service there years prior, was enough to make me want to stay there in the future. Luckily, a few years later, I had enough money saved up to experience the resort for a few nights.
