Disney’s Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show

It’s been around 6 years since I last visited Disney’s Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. Matt had never been to it, so before the rainy season comes at us full force, and the Florida humidity weighs us down to much, it was time for a visit! If you’re unfamiliar with the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, here is the description from the Walt Disney World website:

Celebrate the spirit of aloha with spellbinding dancers, drummers and a show-stopping fire-knife performer. 

Auntie Wini is hosting a fun-filled luau to welcome home one of the local girls who has been living on the “mainland”—and you’re invited!

In the open-air theater in Luau Cove, delight in enthralling traditions from Polynesia, including dances from Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand and Hawaii.

We’ve got some pictures of the show itself, but let’s get started with the food!

Pineapple – Coconut Bread

These were smaller versions of what you will find served at ‘Ohana and Kona Cafe; a slightly sweet bread that pairs well with savory butter. I need to make this recipe at home soon.

Disney’s Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade

Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade can be found at numerous locations on WDW property. They run around $4, and you can find them in some of the parks with the addition of alcohol. Matt happened to order this one from Columbia Harbour House. Having tried a Frozen Bacardi Raspberry Rum Lemonade from Dino Diner in Animal Kingdom before, I knew what he was about to drink.

Drinks at Tambu Lounge

Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian resort serves up several tropical cocktails, and we have long been fans of visiting before a trip to Magic Kingdom, taking a mid-day break, or grabbing a drink to watch Wishes from the resort’s beach. We’re no strangers to the Backscratcher, Blue Hawaii and Tropical Macaw, but one cocktail I’ve recently wanted to try that I surprisingly had not was the Lapu Lapu.

The Lapu Lapu features Myer’s Original Dark Rum and Tropical Fruit Juices served in a fresh pineapple topped with Bacardi 151 Rum. Much like we order our Backscratchers without the actual backscratcher, I really didn’t need the drink to served in the shrink-wrapped pineapple. As fun as it is, I was interested in the cocktail, so I requested a regular glass. But even that regular glass is still fun!

Frozen Drinks at The Crown Bar at Splitsville

While enjoying the weather at Downtown Disney, Matt and I grabbed a high top at The Crown Bar at Splitsville for a couple of frozen beverages and listen to the musicians play some tunes. Summer weather is creeping up on us, and being outside with a frozen drink to cool off is always fun. We looked behind the bar and saw the spinning alcohol-infused frozen drinks, and we reminded of strolling Duval Street in Key West with drinks poured from such machines. One flavor that stood out to us was the Gator Bite, as it reminded us of the Grainerade we had on that trip. Matt decided to order it for himself.
