looking for RPR luau info

[TigerLaw]

My girlfriend just heard about the luau and wants to go, but I can't find much info on it-can nyone help me out? I am looking for all the basic info (food, price, etc.) as well as general thoughts as to is it worth, how it compares to the one at the poly (which we went to a couple years ago and didn't impress me much) etc.

thanks in advance for the help!

I think you might find info on it at the universal site for RPR I know there has been a few reports on it so u could try the search if its working its $50 per adult and its every saturday night seating begins at 6pm

As of last July, the luau had been moved inside to one of the meeting rooms at RPR. All of the tables and chairs were still outside so I don't know if it was a temporary move or not.

I think it may have been a tempoaray move. We were moved in because of weather. I don't reccomend it if it's inside, it loses the effect.

Eclpz, how did you like Loew's Philly? We stayed there in June. Nothing like the ones in Orlando but very nice for a big city.

Oh! I just noticed you are from Newark, DE. We stay at the Embassy Suites in Newark on our way up north every summer!

CPM, the Philly hotel was very nice....no palm trees, but nice! The elevators amazed my kids with all the buttons....and no floor #13. It was really a lot of fun, even just for the one night. The ceiling in the room was about 12' up. Also, we didn't know that there was a NYE party going on until after we got there. Phila. ch.10 broadcasts from there...didn't know that either. After they upgraded our reserv. to club level, we watched the fireworks from our window while the t.v. was showing the same thing plus showing interviews from down in the restaurant! If we ever go to Philly again we will definitely stay there. There was even a little patch of green behind in the alley so guests could walk their dogs! The only kicker was the $22 valet pkg. It's the same hotel that the visiting teams stayed in for the playoff games against the Eagles. As far as Newark (all 16 degrees of it right now...brrr!) I live very close to the Univ. of De. Anyone who drives I-95 passes through here and probably don't even realize it.
