| Luau and show | Standard check-in for the pre-show buffet hour |
| Show only | A separate, later listing, about 80 minutes |
Check-in for the luau
Guests on the luau-and-show listing check in together for the pre-show buffet hour, whichever package they book; the show-only listing has its own, separate, later check-in.
The buffet hour
Once seated, the group works through the buffet for about an hour, with pineapple served family style and a welcome Mai Tai to start.
The hula lesson
Live Hawaiian music runs through the buffet, and a hula lesson gives guests a chance to join in before the show starts.
Into the theatre
From the luau area, the group moves into the 750-seat Royal Hawaiian Theater, where premier seating is reserved for the packages that include it.
The tribute sets and the finale
Onstage, the show runs its tribute acts for Elvis and the King of Pop, then Tahitian dance, before a fire knife dancer closes the production.
After the curtain
Cast members stay back once the lights come up, for photos and autographs with the audience.
