Polynesian Luau HELP

[mprice]

We got last minute reservations for the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show at the Polynesian Resort, and the only seats available were in section 3... Is this bad? Will we still enjoy the show?

We have seen this show twice. Interesting though, they never told us what "section" we'd be in either time when making the ADR or checking in before the show. The show is fun though. The pineapple bread is yummy too. The last time we went was Sept 06 and from what I recall, there isn't really a bad seat in the house. The first time we were there we sat up front, and actually, it's wasn't a great place to sit. People come up and stand right in front of you when their children are learning the hula. In fact, DH said that he was tired of taking pictures of "butts" so he put the camera away for a while.

This year they changed the billing for the dinner shows. There are now various categories of seating. If you're using DDP you won't be seated in Category 1 seats.

I am not familiar with how the Luau is set up, but most dinner shows, the closer you are to the show, the more likely you'll become a participant...

Just found this at AllEarsNet.com:
