Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room Ride Review | Disney World
Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room
Tropical birds, Tiki gods and colorful flowers come to life in a swinging South Seas musical extravaganza! Any Height Kids and Adults Discount Tickets Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, nestled in the heart of Adventureland at Magic Kingdom, is a beloved classic that has enchanted guests for decades. This unique attraction transports visitors to a lush, tropical paradise where a vibrant menagerie of Audio-Animatronic birds, flowers, and tiki statues come to life in a melodic serenade. Originally inspired by the mid-20th century American tiki culture and Polynesian pop aesthetic, the Enchanted Tiki Room first opened at Disneyland in 1963, pioneering the use of Audio-Animatronics technology. The Magic Kingdom's version, initially called Tropical Serenade, debuted on the park's opening day in 1971 as a near-identical recreation of the Disneyland original. Step inside this enchanting theater-in-the-round, and prepare to be swept away by the catchy tunes, clever lyrics, and immersive atmosphere that have made the Enchanted Tiki Room a beloved Disney classic for generations of guests. https://youtu.be/GTY7baTdZJQ?si=gNrA0i05dmhSPjVV

History and Design
The Enchanted Tiki Room holds a special place in Disney history as the first attraction to feature Audio-Animatronics technology. It originally opened on June 23, 1963, at Disneyland, drawing inspiration from the mid-20th century American tiki culture and Polynesian pop aesthetic. Designed by WED Enterprises (now known as Walt Disney Imagineering), the attraction's architecture features a tropical pavilion adorned with vibrant flowers, tiki statues, and a central fountain. The interior is a theater-in-the-round, with seating arranged in a circle facing the center stage. The Magic Kingdom version, initially called Tropical Serenade, opened on October 1, 1971, as a near-identical copy of the Disneyland original. It underwent several name changes and updates over the years, including a controversial "Under New Management" version featuring Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King, which was met with mixed reactions from guests. After a fire in 2011, the attraction was refurbished and reverted to its classic format, now known as Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, with a slightly edited version of the original Disneyland show.
The Ride Experience
Queue and Pre-Show As you approach the Disney World Enchanted Tiki Room, you'll notice the covered, open-air queue area adorned with tropical foliage and tiki statues. Here, you can enjoy a delightful pre-show featuring Clyde and Claude, two Audio-Animatronic birds who banter and introduce the story of the Tiki Room.The pre-show culminates with the parting of a waterfall, revealing the entrance to the main theater. This clever transition sets the stage for the immersive experience to come. Main Show Once inside the dimly lit theater, you'll be seated on hard-backed benches arranged in a circle, facing the central stage. As the show begins, you'll be greeted by the iconic hosts: Jose, Michael, Fritz, and Pierre, a quartet of macaws who lead the tropical serenade. Over 150 Audio-Animatronic figures, including birds, flowers, tiki drummers, and totem poles, come to life, singing and dancing to classic tunes like "In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" and "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing." The highlight is the rousing finale, "Hawaiian War Chant," where every figure joins in a lively performance. One of the most memorable moments is the simulated tropical storm, complete with thunder, lightning, and rain effects, adding an extra layer of immersion to the experience. As you exit, you'll hear a unique arrangement of "Heigh-Ho" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, thanking you for attending the show. Music and Atmosphere The Enchanted Tiki Room's soundtrack, composed by the legendary Sherman Brothers, is a true highlight. The catchy tunes and clever lyrics are sure to stick in your head long after your visit. The atmospheric effects, including the simulated storm and the sound of running water from the central fountain, further enhance the tropical ambiance, transporting you to a lush, exotic paradise.
Tips for Riders
- Arrive early to secure a seat closer to the center of the theater for the best view. - Prepare young children for the simulated storm effects, as they may be frightening for some. - Bring a portable fan or cooling towel, as the theater can get warm during peak hours. - Consider visiting during the hottest and busiest times of day to escape the heat and crowds. - Don't forget to grab a Dole Whip from nearby Aloha Isle before or after the show for a refreshing treat.
Comparison with Other Enchanted Tiki Room Attractions

Despite the variations, the Magic Kingdom's Enchanted Tiki Room remains true to the original vision, offering a nostalgic and immersive experience for guests of all ages.

Okay I lied, second question: have they hired anyone to work for them? Will there be any familiar faces that pop up? Also also, have you thought about the possibility of a rivalry with a business across the street? Not even a case of rivals in the same industry, just peeps that get under each others' skin. May I suggest the idea of Timon and Pumbaa running a bar and grill? I am greatly amused by the idea of Iago having a frenemies dynamic with Timon.
Aaaaah, I love the idea of Timon & Pumbaa with a bar and grill! That's great! Especially these days, when grubs are the new trendy- well, grub XD
As for Enchanted Tiki Room employees- gotta bring José, Pierre, Michael, and Fritz in somehow

Hello, I just wanted to share my latest work on AO3. The enchanted tiki room is one of my favorite attractions in disney world so I wrote a fic based on the four macaws: Jose, Pierre, Michael and Fritz. A story similar to Alice in wonderland, where a girl gets lost in what seems to be a forest where everyone and everything is alive.
I hope the people that like the attraction enjoy the fic!

CHAMPIONS
daniel ricciardo x fem!driver
|chapter 2|
lara put on her earrings then took a step back to look at herself,she was getting ready to go to the party lando had offered her to go to
she had put on a white short and backless dress on with a pair of red jordanâs on her feet.
âokay so do you like itâ lara said into the phone
âyessss dude you look breathtakingâ said linda with a slight laugh
âokay shakespeareâ said lara laughing back
âstfuuuâ
âokay i have to go linds but iâll definitely send you picturesâ
âyes you better,okay bye now have funnnâlinda said pressing on the n
âbyeeâ
lara grabs her purse and takes a quick last look at herself,then walks out the hotel room.
she goes down to find the one and only pierre gasly standing in the lobby
âhi lara what you doing here,i thought youâd be at the party by nowâ
âno iâm a tad bit late arenât iâ lara replied back with a nervous smile
âwe both areâ âhey you wanna go togetherâ said pierre back to back
âyes yes pls thank youâ
âthe pleasure is all mineâ said pierre while extending his arm,lara grabbed it and they walked off and into pierreâs team car
they arrived after a car ride full of getting to now eachother
they had walked into the flan and immediately saw the other teams and drivers, they all looked confused on why you guys had came together but you two brushed it off
pierre had walked of to see yuki and charles,lando immediately coming up to you
âhi laraa iâm so happy to see you here, didnât think youâd make itâ
âiâm so sorry for being late landoâ
âno no itâs all good dw bout itâ he said with a soft smile
âhey whatâs up you guysâ had said a 3rd person, you looked to the right and saw the one and only,honey badger, you smiled immediately at the sight of him
âoh hi danielâ
âhi daringâ âyour dress is absolutely beautiful, so are you i meanâ he said with a slight smirk on his face
he made you blush hard and you had turned red
âthank you daniel, you look very handsome yourselfâ lara threw back at him, no he turned a slight rose himself
she was significantly shorter than him so he had to look down at her and that look made her turn into mush
âso are u ready to start your seasonâ he asked
âyes so very readyâ she answered
he looked at her and just couldnât hold back his smile, she couldnât either
they were interrupted by tiki and pierre, the moment they had come daniel wrapped his arm around her waist and looked annoyingly at peirre, she noticed that and she noticed that ther might be a hinge of jealousy in his eyes too but maybe she was just imagining it
âhey yâallâ said peirre
âhiiiâ said yuki with a wave
âhi guys nice to see youâ lara replied to both men infront of her
âya ya heyâ said daniel with a slightly yet not very noticeable annoyed tone
âhowâs everyoneâs nightâ
âitâs really nice im so excited for the quail tomorrowâ lara said back to yuki
they all nodded and moved on to the next conversation as more drivers came and surrounded them.
the night went on with more dancing but no drinking since they had quali in the morning the next day
daniel and lara had danced all night, refused to leave her side he continued to flirt and keep his hand on her waist and or shoulders at all times
lara had felt so protected in daniels arms and didnât wanna leave his side either
the night had come to an end and all the drivers and teams had started to leave

you walked away to go find pierre
âhey pierre iâm leaving with daniel if thatâs alrightâ âyes ofc itâs alright, have funâ he said back with a wink and lara blushed heavily

just a silly au I thought of, but the Enchanted Tiki Room from Disneyland/WDW but with the Bad Friends Trio (and England dragged in there too for some reason) because the actual birds themselves (Jose, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz) really do remind me of Antonio, Arthur, Francis, and Gilbert so much itâs not even funnyÂ
I tried to replicate the original Enchanted Tiki Room poster with my own spin (Oh and a poggers new artstyle too!)Â

My Disney Fab 50 Statues
This is my version of the Disney Fab 50 statues for the WDW 50th Anniversary, and why I picked each one. My list aims much more to park history than the official list does. I'll note which ones are official statues by underlining them. These are in no particular order, but organized by park they'd be in. Magic Kingdom 1) Mickey - Obviously, Mickey, being the park and company mascot, needs to be here, and he's on the official list as well. I chose to put my version in his Philharmagic costume. It's got the hat from Fantasia/Sorcerer's Apprentice, which is well known, but tailored more to the park attraction. 2) Daisy Duck - One of the Fab 6, Daisy is also along for the ride. But unlike the official's "standard" outfit, I'm putting Daisy in a safari outfit to represent Jungle Cruise. Since Jungle Cruise doesn't really have any characters, I'm using outfits, like with Mickey, to represent attractions that otherwise would be left out. 3) Goofy - Another of the Fab 6, Mickey's best friend needs to be represented. Like Daisy, he's also repping a character-less ride. This time he's repping Big Thunder Railroad. As an added bonus, if they put him in a conductor outfit, it could also rep Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, but that's at another park. 4) Pluto - The last of the Fab 6 in this park (the other two I'm placing elsewhere), Mickey's dog Pluto. And since the Park Wishables already put Mickey and Minnie in space suits for Space Mountain, let's give Pluto an astronaut helmet to represent it! And, as an added bonus, it doubles as a take-that at Universal, since Disney can't have Marvel in the WDW parks, and Pluto would be a joke on Cosmo (the space dog in the Collector's museum from Guardians of the Galaxy). 5) Sonny Eclipse - The first statue of mine that's not only unique to my list, but also represents something 100% in the park. I haven't been to Cosmic Rays myself, but from what I hear around WDWNT and WIGScord, it's pretty popular. Or at least Sonny is. So he gets a statue. 6) Merlin and Archmedes - Second statue unique to my list, and the first that's for the history of the park. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom was a scavenger hunt-type game that closed down early this year, and Merlin was kinda your guide for it. The game apparently had a lot of problems, but it looked really fun at the same time. 7) Genie - A surprising omition from the official list, and, unlike DLR, WDW actually has an Aladdin ride. The official list does have Abu, but I feel Genie is much more iconic and representitational of the movie. I'm also surprised that Carpet wasn't with Abu. 8) Pirate Dog - The Pirate Dog holding the keys is my representation of Pirates of the Caribbean. The dog might not be the most obvious pick, but as I'm trying to steer away from realistic-looking human characters, the dog was picked. Plus, they also made a Tsum Tsum and a Wishable of him, so... 9) Big Al OR Henry- This one's a toss-up. Either bear would do, and it's surprising to me that Country Bear Jamboree isn't represented. Of course, we know that it's a "less popular" attraction, so... 10) Madame Leota - The hitchhiking ghosts would also work to represent Haunted Mansion, but I think that having a gold statue inside of an ornate glass orb would look cooler. Plus, it only takes up one character slot, rather than 3. 11) Dumbo - One of the original rides from Disneyland, this classic has to be represented, and Disney agreed. Although I cut out Timothy. Didn't wanna take up another slot. 12) Stitch - Another statue to represent a past attraction, Stitch is here to represent Stitch's Great Escape. He's also, like the official statue, in his 626 form, because there's not nearly as much merchandise for him that way. 13) Winnie the Pooh - Piglet is with him on the official statue, but I think Pooh can stand on his own. Or, at least, eat hunny on his own. I mean, the ride is called "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," not "Pooh and Friends." Also, Tigger is way better than Piglet. 14) Mr. Toad - Another surprising omition from the list. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride might not be in Magic Kingdom anymore, but he's still fondly remembered, and they even made a Wishable of him (from the Disneyland 65th Anniversary set, but whatever). 15) Maleficent (Dragon) - The first of my statues that's not for an attraction, but a show (okay, Philharmagic is kinda a show, but shush). And she's also considered the "leader" of all of the Disney Villains, who are not represented at all in the official list, which I think is a shame. Sure, we all love the heroes, but who would those heroes be without their villains? 16) Face Clock - The only non-character in my list, the Face Clock is iconic enough for the World's Fair-turned-park ride. Because if you picked one of the dolls, which doll would you pick?! 17) Elliot - I've never seen the Main Street Electrical Parade myself (unless it was when I was 5), but I'd recognize the dragon float from Pete's Dragon anywhere. Bonus points if they could do the statue in such a way that it looked like the float, too. 18) Tinkerbell - The last of the revealed statues, Tinkerbell has come to represent Disney magic, both within and outside the parks, just as much as Mickey. Officially representing Peter Pan's Flight, I'd like to think that she also represents the Castle, like in the company card at the start of the movies. 19) Jose, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz - Yes, I know I've been trying to avoid "wasting" slots with multi-character statues, but... How could you pick just one of the Enchanted Tiki Room birds?! 20) Cheshire Cat - Cheshire and Mad Hatter both made the list (as separate statues), but I feel that Alice in Wonderland can be represented by Cheshire on his own. Plus, cat. 21) Boo - Monster's Inc Laugh Floor is an attraction that I wish was at DLR, so I could go on it, but even better than Sulley or Mike is the adorable Boo. 22) Jimminy Cricket - Yet another surprising omition from the list, Jimminy is almost as iconic to Disney Magic as Tinkerbell is. The official list has Pinocchio, but Jimminy is so much more "Disney" in general than Pinocchio. 23) Dopey - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train represent, as well as Disney's first animated feature. EPCOT 24) Donald Duck, Jose, and Panchito - Mickey's other best friend, here represented with the other two of the Three Caballeros, as represented in the Gran Fiesta Tour ride in the Mexico Pavillion. Like with the other members of the Fab 6, I chose to put him in an attraction outfit, and since I did, the other two had to come along for the ride. 25) Figment - Journey to Imagination (or whatever the current name of the attraction is) might be "meh" as a ride, but everyone loves Figment. Even Disney, who included him. 26) Olaf - I love Bruni. Bruni is probably my favorite character from all of Frozen. But Bruni isn't even named in the movie, he doesn't need to be on a statue. Olaf can represent Frozen Ever After by himself. 27) Remy - I'm shocked that Remy's not on the official list, given that his ride [officially] opens on the first day of the 50th Celebration, and represents the future of the parks. 28) Orange Bird - OB is on the official list, though in MK rather than EPCOT. All of the merch and such I've seen for him has been for the EPCOT festivals, so I'm sticking him here. 29) Rocket Racoon and Groot - Another statue to look to the future, for whenever Cosmic Rewind opens. Also, unlike the official statue, we are not using the realistic style from the official statue. The fur on Rocket looks so bad. Nah, instead we'll do him smooth, like the cartoons. 30) Mushu - Mushu was left out of the live action Mulan movie, but he's designed after traditional Chinese dragons, so let's put him over by the China Pavilion. 31) Marie - Did you really think that this list was not going to have my favorite character on it? I mean, really? Plus, we've got THREE mice/rats on the list, AND a dog, so we need another cat. Hollywood Studios 32) Minnie Mouse - And here we have the last of the Fab 6, Mickey's gal Minnie! Why is she in Hollywood Studios? Because she's representing Tower of Terror, wearing a cute outfit, of course! 33) DJ-R3X - Remember all those Fab 6 characters representing multiple characters? Yeah, R3X here is doing the same. Not only is DJ-R3X the DJ at Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge, but he was originally RX-24, the pilot for the original version of Star Tours. Much better representation than BB-8 or R2-D2 from the official list. 34) Kermit the Frog - One of the more offensive omitions from the official list. MuppetVision3D is great fun, and the Muppets don't get nearly enough love, even with the Haunted Mansion special coming. 35) Chuuby - Okay, so sue me, I'm obsessed with the little merchandising bird. He's just too cute. 36) Woody and Buzz Lightyear - I know the official statue is Woody and Bo-Peep. But I haven't seen Toy Story 4 (or 3), so I want Buzz there. Disney's Animal Kingdom 37) Chip and Dale - Ya gotta have the little buddies! And who better to be wearing cute little Wilderness Explorer outfits? 38) The Yeti - So, the real Yeti might not work in Expedition Everest, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be represented as a statue! Just make sure it's not realistic fur like that horrible Rocket statue. Stylized only! 39) Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa - Simba is separate from his friends in the official statue, but the trio (Simba as a child) should stick together. Festival of the Lion King is amazing to watch. You'll note a few things on my list: 1) There are no princesses. This was a specific omition on my part. The princesses have their own line of stuff, and are fairly over-used as it is. I wanted to get away from that. 2) As I mentioned with the Pirate Dog, I wanted to avoid realistic human characters. They either look good, or they don't. And I wanted a bit more of a similar style to everything, hence why I'm noting that Rocket should be done in the cartoon style, and the Yeti should be stylized. 3) Everything is tied into an attraction, land, or Disney Magic. Nothing is there solely from a movie. 4) My list only has 3 statues more than the official list. 5) For reference, here are the characters that are on the official list that are missing from mine: Timothy the Mouse (with Dumbo) Piglet (with Winnie the Pooh) Bruni (with Olaf) Bo-Peep (with Woody) Lumiere and Cogsworth Mad Hatter Pinocchio Gus and Jaq Lady and Tramp Abu Dante Miguel Pua and Hei-Hei Joe Gardener Edna Mode Frozone R2-D2 BB-8 Sebastian and Flounder Nemo and Dory Bambi and Thumper Of these, there are no major parks connections for Lumiere and Cogsworth, Lady and Tramp, Dante, Miguel, Pua and Hei-Hei (yet), Joe Gardener, Edna, and Frozone. Edna and Frozone especially bother me, as they're not even the main characters. Why couldn't we get a Jack-Jack instead? And Mr. Mittens and 22 over Joe Gardener? 6) And, finally, here are my statues that are new to my list: Sonny Eclipse Merlin and Archmedes Genie Pirate Dog Big Al Madame Leota Mr. Toad Maleficent Face Clock Elliot Jose, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz Boo Jimminy Cricket Dopey Remy Mushu Marie DJ-R3X Kermit the Frog Chuuby Buzz Lightyear The Yeti
