ALOHA!!!

Tiff, Todd, Tess, Tanner and I went to the dinner show: THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA at the Disney World, Polynesian Village!  I have seen this show many times.  We were celebrating Tanner's fifth birthday (late, very late).  The Birthday Boy and his entourage received special pins upon our arrival before we were adorned with  leis and "photos" of our "group".

The show has changed, been updated in patter, music, humor. The show has remained the same in patter, music, humor.

Tanner and Tess went up to "learn" some moves and later Tanner went up with the "Birthday Folk"  Todd thought that the fire performer was the absolute best!  Please Todd, don't try that at home!

The food was by far better than it had ever been.  Unlimited food, beer, wine.  Make sure that, should you go to this extravaganza, that you are hungry and thirsty!

The absolute key to learn about the Polynesian Islands is to listen to the narrator expressing some historical  facts.

The absolute key to having a great time is to learn how to wiggle your hips!  Tanner has the moves, Tess as well.  Todd admired the "Fire Performer" a great deal.  Tess did ask: " Meme!  How come their skirts don't fall down with all of the wiggling the dancers do?"  That was a valid question.  That was a valid question that I could not really answer.  (Especially never having really wiggled to the beat of music.)

As an experience, as all Disney experiences, the evening was magical and so pleasant!  The wait staff was so sweet, friendly, efficient! There was an intimacy that the narrator/mistress of ceremony radiated throughout the performance.

Children were treated rather royally as they participated in the magical fun.

Second to a trip to Hawaii's Polynesian Experience, where the natives play for real, THE DISNEY'S POLYNESIAN VILLAGE  RESORT'S" THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA", is a fun, educational, magical, so worth it experience!

ALOHA!!!
