Sea World Luau in Photos

[OKWTink]

I recently attended the Sea World Luau. It was much nicer than I had been led to believe it would be! I would recommend asking for seating on the second tier, but other than that things went well. The food was not stellar, but it certainly was palatable. For some reason, no photos of the food (other than the salad and the mai tais) came out. :confused: . At any rate, here they are!

Good to know! We did it a few years back and enjoyed it, it's certainly more authentic than the disney luau is now.

What's this second tier business? I dont recall there being different tiers when we did it ?

more...

and more again...

I would go again, and would recommend this dinner showThe chicken was nice, and the pork ribs weren't overly sweet. The vegetables were snow peas and yellow summer squash. They were cooked nicely. There was fried rice also. There is a full bar, and the prices of the mixed drinks were no more than you would expect at a venue such as this.

The only thing that was a real disappointment food-wise was the dessert. The cake was dreadfully dry and there was something odd about the peanut butter sauce that was drizzled on it. No one at the table took more than a bite. It is family style dining, and you will be seated at table with others. Not a problem, actually.

Here are the last couple shots...

Very cool! Boy, those drinks look nice! Yum!
Thanks for sharing. :D

[OKWTink]

They were mai tais, Foreverducky and only have ONE. They taste far less dangerous than they actually are. :eek:

Keith there are two "rows" of tables on the floor that puts the diners heads level with the stage. I was in the second row, and had a very miserable time trying to get photos without peoples heads. :ohdear:

There is a higher level (I call it the second tier) "above" the ground floor (which is actually below the stage) and that affords a much better view and unobstructed photography.

Did that make any sense at all? :unsure:

[OKWTink]

Oh, meant to say that the dances, and the history (presented by "The Goddess) were more authentic than those performed at the luau I went to in Hawaii! That luau was so bad as to be embarrassing, quite frankly. :nono:

This was presented very accurate historical information and the dancing and costumes were quite accurate for the most part, too.

There was a little boy (no more than four, I'd guess) who performed a little too. He was so quick on and off the stage, I never got a shot of him. He's quite a charmer and talented too! Look for him if you go. Be ready with the camera because he is FAST!!! :lol:

Thanks for the photos. Is it indoors or outdoors? We went to the one htey had at the Royal Pacific over at Universal. They had to have it inside the convention center due to the weather which was weird.....

The mai tai looks awesome! I'll make sure I have a designated driver if I ever go!

Do they offer any discounts for the luau?

I was going to ask if it was better than the Polynesian Cultural Centre. The photos are lovely Tink, thank you for sharing :hug: I think we'll be going there next year :D

[hayleyneeyore]

Thanks for the photos :yes: Me and DBF are going to give it a go next year and we hadn't seen any photos of it yet!!

The Mai Tais look yummy!! Do you get to keep the glass? It's so cute!!

You can buy it in a glass to keep :) .
We did it in 2003 and loved it and better than the Disney one in my mind altough that was good as well. We are doing the christmas show on Dec 2nd this year.

Those were Mai Tai's? Too red...

The entertainment at the Polynesian Cultural Center is great! And it is really nice place to visit.

[Slowhand]

Nice photos Tink, thanks for sharing.
So you didn`t get dragged onto the stage then? :afraid:

[Isafari]

Thanks for the photos :thumbs:
We are booked for the 29th december.....can't wait!

[wdwgrandma]

It looks like a fun luau, 'Tink! How was the food? Did you eat poi or lomi lomi salmon?

[BigThunder]

Thanks Tink, those were nice photo's. Especially the mai tai looked yummy!! those types of drinks are the only alcohol i can stand, it has to taste like a desert (& look like one too).

[OKWTink]

The fish was mahi mahi and it was quite nice! :yes:

I didn't go to the one at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I went to some luau that my family dragged me to and it was dreadful. I WANTED to go to the PCC.

Yep, they're Mai Tais. Not too red! :D You purchase the drink in a souvenier glass. It's plastic so I thought it would be fun by the pool.

Yes, Johnie it is indoors. Odd, but ok. The Christmas one is supposed to be very nice. There are two shows per day for Christmas. :yes:

Lovely photos - thank you for sharing. This is something that DH wants to do next year. SeaWorld is his favourite park and so far we've only dined with Shamu!

The magic card (think it is called that :unsure: ) does

Thanks for sharing....I think the next time that DBF and I go then we just might make the luau part of our trip. :D
