Type of Ride: Sit down show
Rating: DDD, a true Disney original
Length: 13 minutes
Average Wait:
Shows ever 20 minutes, and unless there is a huge crowd, you'll have a max wait of 20 minutes
When to Ride:
Anytime during the day, but when it is hot or the park is crowded this is a great ride to relax in.
Age Group:
Young children should be quite amazed at all the birds an flowers singing around them. Most teens looking for that action adventure ride would probably be very board, as was part of the reason for shortening the attraction. Adults looking for a nice relaxing show after a hard day of running through out the park will find this attraction quite soothing, and a great break from the day long rush.
Special Restrictions/Considerations:
Some small children may be scared during the thunderstorm scene in the show. Some children may also be scared by some of the seemingly chaotic scenes. Besides these considerations the Tiki Room is actually a very relaxing show.
History:
One of the first attractions to ever use audio animatronics for the entire show, the Enchanted Tiki Room opened on June 23, 1963. Once planned to be a Chinese style restaurant/show where a audio animatronic host would entertain guests. The plans were scrapped and exhanged with the Tiki Room show. Because of these plans and concepts of making the Tiki Room also a sit down dinner show it is the only attraction to feature it's own restrooms. In 1997 the show was shortened by 5 minutes to accommodate the MTV generations short attention span. Designers removed the now infamous "offenbach" number where the parrets jokingly and innocently proclaim: "I'll get offen your back if you get offen mine." In their year of politcal correctness these lines and the whole song were cut out of the show.
Location:
At the gateway to Adventureland directly outside of the Adventureland sign.
Description:
The Tiki Room is a 13-minute long revue that showcases 225 audio-animatronic birds, flowers, tikipoles and drummers. Join in as your four parretal friends, Jose, Michal, Pierre, and Fritz take you on a journey through the Tiki Song and dance. The show is presented in an indoor - air-conditioned! - theater, where there is action all around. I suggest sitting in the back of a section of any of the four sides. These seats are padded, and are overall more comfortable, and you can see more of the show. Each show starts on the 20, 40 or the hour, as is shown by the clock at the entrance to the ride. In the outside waiting area a preshow starts about five minutes before you are let into the theater. This show talks about the statues and figures around you, and is not really worth the time to see unless you are already there. The Tiki Room is a good place to sit and relax on hot days, or when other rides are very crowded. While you are waiting outside you may want to try some of the treats at the Tiki Juice bar like the Dole Whip, pineapple spears, or some pineapple juice.
