That's an off weekend, so the Resort is happy to give a discount rate to have the place full. If you move it to another weekend, you can't get a good rate since the event would be filling rooms that would be normally filled by people paying the regular full rate. That is, the price of Tiki Oasis would likely jump by a LARGE amount. On the entertainment front, my guess is that Otto wants to have new acts and different acts every year. Maybe there needs to be a concensus. Same stuff every year, or new acts every year? My guess is that you might not like it if there weren't new faces on the stage. But then, TO is a tradition and you might go regardless. The other idea is to do it twice a year. If there is enough support, you wouldn't hang so much expectation on it. But the second good weekend my be worse for everyone to attend. Sounds like a few minor things are being talked to death here. BTW, I have a Polynesian Dance groups price list here in front of me. 1 knife dancer $300 for a 3-5 minute dance 2 dancers $450 for a 40 minute revue 8 dancers $1,900... It's expensive. Considing what most performers are making, you'd have to sacrifice a lot to get a decent Polynesian show at the event.
