Hoop de Doo is lots of fun. Yes, the jokes are corny but that's part of the fun! Food is standard - fried chicken. The real attraction here is the show.
The luau is nice and the food is good but, of the two, Hoop de Doo is a favorite and one I would return to while I would not rush back for another look-see at the luau.

Done the luau twice and the Hoop de Doo sev eral times. I think everyone should see them both at least once, but if you have to see only one then my choice for you would be the Hoop de Doo. It's simply more fun. it is also held in an air conditioned building and not subject to cancelation due to the weather. The trip to the Hoop de Doo is a lot of fun in itself while the Luau is a visit to the Poly and a walk. I've taken several nice photos from the boat trip to and from Fort Wilderness.
Whichever you choose ENJOY YOURSELF!

We love HDD and recommend it to everyone!
The food is good, nothing too special, but good (and DH likes the beer refills). The show however, is fabulous. You'll laugh and have a super time!

I voted for HDDR and have never been. I don't think that I've ever read a horrible review on this dinner/show. It is on "the list" of things to do one of these trips when the kids are older....
We went to the Luau on our honeymoon. Honestly, we could have saved our money. You can see the fire dancers at the Fest of the Lion King, and have similar food at other Poly restaruants. I'm a pacific islander so, I'm pretty biased that the show wasn't "like home" - knowing that Disney makes it "disney" luau. The entertainment is ok, the food is ok but, just not good enough to go back.

We have done both shows and to be honest I don't remember the luau we just kept asking for more food!! The food and drinks are good but the HDD -is the fun show and the fried chicken is addicting I am craving it right now!
If you can dream it, you can do it ...Horizons
**Been there, done that at Disney!!!**

We haven't been to Aloha, but Hoop-Dee-Doo was great! The only "bad" thing about it was that it is FREEZING cold in there. Bring a jacket!!! Even though it was sweltering hot outside, I was wishing I had a coat. The show and food are very good though!

HDD is MUCH better entertainment and food. The luau has been pretty commercialized (Lilo & stitch) and is really nothing special. As one poster said, you can get better poly food at poly restaurants and see fire dancers at FOTLK soooo.... no real big reason to rush out and spend all that money on it.

Another vote for HDD. The show is hilarious and corny, and I love the fried chicken, mashed potatos, and cornbread.
All of our dream can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
Remember, we must always believe in our wishes, for they are the magic in the world.
Current CM at MK! If you're in Adventureland and craving Dole, Ice Cream, or an eggroll, look for Sarah from Front Royal, VA and say Hi!

The food is different, but the quality is about the same - good - nothing spectacular. You can get some yummy tropical drinks at the luau, though.
The show, however is MUCH better at Hoop-dee-doo. And I found the service to be a little better at HDD, as well.
-
Hoopdedoo is the better of the two IMO. We did both on a trip a few years back. Hoopdedoo show was more fun. Food was okay and we sat in the balcony. Nice boat ride to the campground and enjoyed walking around the area after.

Hoop-Dee-Doo
This is an easy one. The food is good and the entertainment is great. Very interactive and fun for everyone. We recommend it to everyone we know who is going to WDW. We will be there with friends in June.

Well I think you guys helped me decide
I was leaning toward doing the luau but we are staying at the cabins & I have always loved HDD. So I think you have helped me decide to do HDD! Thanks!

Hope that helps.

There's always one ^^^
We did the luau once. Once.
We do HDDR every year now. Food is good, show is great. Kids are now 19, 16, 13 and they vote to go every trip. Going on 6 years now, I think.

Thanks for this poll -- I was debating b/w the two for our next trip, but not anymore! Sounds like we would all, esp. my DD's, enjoy the HDDR more this time. Thanks!
