Overview

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room seats guests in a Polynesian-themed amphitheater for a musical show performed entirely by audio-animatronic tropical birds, flowers, and carved tiki gods, all singing and cracking jokes in a lighthearted, old-fashioned revue format. It was groundbreaking for its technology when it opened and remains one of the last surviving examples of Disney's earliest audio-animatronic show format.

ParksLog verdict

This was Disney's first large-scale use of Audio-Animatronic technology in 1963, directly paving the way for the animatronic systems in Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion — a fact most guests filing in for the air conditioning never think about. It moves at an old-fashioned, gentle pace rather than building to any spectacle, so set expectations accordingly. One of Adventureland's most reliable heat escapes.
