  This is the best luau on Oahu. It's better than every major luau in Waikiki, Honolulu, and everywhere else on the island. It truly feels special from start to finish with the operational excellence for large crowds that Disney resorts know how to do better than anyone. There's a reason why you need to make reservations around 5 months in advance. Unlike many mass produced luaus, the food at Ka Wa'a is actually good. Really good. The sweet potatoes, prime rib, kalua style pork (which I normally don't even like!), all the way to the desserts, all delicious. Far better than something like Paina Waikiki, which is not great and makes you wonder why you paid so much for some of the worst Hawaiian food you've ever had. You pay more for Ka Wa'a, and you probably drive further out of town than you planned to for a luau, but you will have no regrets. The nighttime show is perfectly timed. First hour is for check-in and activities, including temporary tattoos, ukeleles, grinding taro, and grabbing drinks. At 6:00 PM, the first tables are called for the buffet. Preferred seating eats first, but the lines move fast and there's time for seconds. At 7:00, the show starts, and that's where it all comes together in a beautiful raised stage setup where nearly every seat is a good one. The show features such talented performers that really make the night magical. They present memorable stories of Hawaii and all of the musicians are top notch. Pro tip: Mickey and Minnie only show up to do one dance on stage, and they don't stick around for photos (would be impossible with a crowd this size), so show up early, check the video boards for their character schedules, check in to the luau, leave, then find Mickey and Minnie from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM for a photo. After getting a very relaxed, enjoyable photo, head back into the luau with plenty of time to spare for activities and dinner. I've been to Oahu many times, and this is the only luau I've seen that I would recommend to anyone and describe as truly magical and 100% worth it.

  Have been coming here for 4 years straight first time ever security after dinner told us and twenty kids dancing in the back that they all need to take there seat. Half the audience is kids. Are you kidding me you give them blue sugar drinks and then tell us to keep are kids seated for 3 hrs. I ll never be back for $160 a person. Photo is after they told all kids to sit down immediately.

  We were extremely disappointed with our experience at KA WA‘A – A Lū‘au. Our luau was canceled, and we were never notified. We showed up at Aulani Disney Resort, only to be told it was canceled upon arrival. Because we were staying in Waikiki, we had spent $140 round trip for an Uber to get there — a cost we would have never incurred had we known ahead of time. I spoke with Alyssa at the resort, who told me that her manager would call the next day regarding a possible reimbursement for our transportation. I never received that call. When I followed up, I was told again that the manager would reach out — and when they finally did, just before 2 p.m., the response was simply that they would not reimburse us for any costs. The entire experience was disappointing and poorly handled. We were left without a luau, scrambling to find dinner plans, and out a significant amount of money for something that was no fault of ours. For a Disney-affiliated resort, we expected better communication and customer service.

  予約 ホームページで一般席を取りました。アプリに反映されないので把握がちょこっと面倒くさかったです。 開催は金曜日夜。 優先席 入り口がロビー側です。先に入場。席は舞台前。すでに始まっている前演奏を聞きながらアルコールを含めた飲み物がもらえます。 ハワイの文化が学べるアクティビティの体験ができます。 一般席 優先席の体験が終わってから入場します。次回は虫除けをしよう❗️時間差があるので待つことなく、アルコールを含む飲み物をもらいアクティビティができます。 ごはん ハワイのお料理がビュッフェでいただけます。私はスイーツもこの時間帯にまとめてがっつり取ってきてゆっくり食べました。 ショーが始まると席を立つ人はほぼいませんでした。 帰り ダンサーさんと携帯で写真を撮ってくれました。
