Has anyone seen both paradise cove Luao and new Aulani one?

[alldiz]

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen both luaos?
I know they prob have some kinks to work out but wondering if Aulani is superior to paradise cove?
Thanks

I haven't seen the Aulani one but I know I really didn't like the paradise cove one when we went about 4 years ago. It was just OK at best. There are many others that have a better show and food. I recommend the Polynesian Culture Center if you want an amazing show (not too traditional but amazing all the same). I also have friends that went to the Germaines Luau and really liked it. Also if you have access the one at the Hale Koa is pretty good.

We sat with a couple who lived on Oahu when we saw the one at Aulani and that couple had been to two other luau on Oahu. I think they said Paradise Cove and the Cultural Center were the two places they had been... they said the Disney one was the best they had seen. We were very happy with the Aulani show. It was so convenient. The food was good and the overall show was very entertaining.

did you get the VIP package? Was it a full open bar or just beer and wine?

Aulani does not always have luau. They only have it on Wednesdays and Saturdays. When I called to book it for 2/22, they apparently have some special event; therefore, no luau on that day.

Probably not renting a car so Culture center out plus no alcohol Is Germaines far?

Wow this is what I want to hear. Works with me just immersing myself in Aulani.

Very interested in this?

Yikes that is good to know. That would mean Wed is my only option.(Staying Sun- Fri) Which happens to be my birthday which would be cool

It isn't too far, only about 6 miles from Aulani however it sounds like the Aulani will be your best bet. ENJOY!! My parents and girls will be in Hawaii starting Jan 29th and I am super jealous

Try and sneak into their suitcases. Really stinks when work gets in the way.

I enjoyed Paradise Cove. I will probably try Aulani the next trip.
