Behind the Scenes of the Enchanted Tiki Room



Undoubtedly the very first attraction with audio-animatronic at Disneyland, the Tiki Room have Enchanted millions of guests since its opening.

Today we'll have a look behind the scenes , but first of all some images. As we know the Tiki Room is located at the entrance of Adventureland.





The attraction poster is now famous.







Let's have a closer look with this video where Walt will introduce you to the Tiki Room secrets - youtube link thanks to freedogshampoo




Here is another b&w version of this famous picture of Walt inside the attraction.




And for those of you living outside the U.S or Japan who never had the luck to see it, here is a video of the whole show by ru42




Always with a Polynesian theming, the Tahitian terrace was close to the Tiki room during many years and even share another poster with the Tiki room and the Plaza pavillion.




Finally, let's not forget the two great replicas of the Tiki bird and the Tiki drummer designed by Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily for Disney shopping.com, no longer available on the site but you can find them on ebay very probably.




And, talking about merchandise, i am currently selling this great Disneyland Tiki Room big figure released by the park for its 50th anniversary, and is now sold out . The item is 17" high x 17" large and this sculpture of the Tiki Room building is stunning. Everything is include, with the six Tikis and the Tangiroa tree.

Just got back from DL, the Tiki Room was fantastic.

No comparison to the new/vulgar show they have in WDW.
The original show is still pure magic.
