Posted under Enchanted Tiki Room & Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s version of the Enchanted Tiki Room is currently under “New Management” and has been for some time. But the old Disney classic still comes to life with several birds who sing your favorite songs along with two Disney “stars” who bought the place. Zazu from The Lion King and Iago from Aladdin both “own” The Enchanted Tiki Room and you are there as they tell the birds of the new change. Although Zazu wants to keep the show the same, Iago has some big changes in mind which angers the Tiki Gods. A cameo from the Tiki Gods leaves the birds singing as their show seems to be pumped up to the next degree and you’ll be singing and dancing your way out the door as they make you “disappear”.

Great video and really shows what the attraction is like. Good one to visit if you need a sit down and a cool down from the summer heat. Not one if you want any excitement though!

When I was growing up…I went to Disneyworld 30+ times and Disneyland in California, Once… so I have a large heart full of magical memories at Walt Disney World in Orlando and of all those memories I cherish those of The Enchanted Tiki Room with Jose and company leading the show… even a 41 years of age I know all the song tunes and many of the words…I cannot tell you the many times I have even parodied the “Its time for you to Go” ending song to people visiting and its truly time for them to go :) lol …. In the mid 1990s I was forced to stop visiting WDW like I used to because I found out I needed two total hip replacement surgeries but that I needed to wait a few years before having them…NOW they are complete and I am ready to return to Disney again and the first place I intended to go was The Enchanted Tiki Room…I had heard there was an update at WDW so I wanted to preview it BUT after viewing a YOUTUBE version of Under New Management I must admit shedding a few tears of sadness… No more Jose leading the flock, No “In the Tiki tiki tiki room” no “When the Flowers Sing”.. NONE OF IT IS IN THE WDW SHOW. What the Disney Imagineers were trying to do was Noble, BUT they missed the mark by a million miles… The show actually insults those of us (quite directly and verbally by the new characters) who enjoyed the old show… My brother just purchased a DVC (disney vacation club timeshare)membership for all of us to enjoy, so now I can see a long happy future of visits to Disney in our midst… And while yes the original Enchanted Tiki Room lives on in Disney Land, it is very expensive for us when you consider that we live on the West coast of Florida and only 2 1/2 hours now from Walt Disney World! The Enchanted Tiki Room has always been the first thing I see in my mind and feel in my heart when I think of WDW… Those birds are alive to me (and yes I understand the robotic technology)…. If I had a chance to have my picture with any Disney character, I Love Mickey, Goofy, etc…BUT my choice always was and always will be with a picture of Jose…
If any Disney Imagineers read this… Please change it back or as a compromise perhaps design the show to alternate at different hours between the new show and the old show…I know it can be done with a little adjustment.
Disney wants to grant us a Million wishes…I do no want money, nor some special hat, or anything, Just PLEASE consider returning Jose and the Tiki Room to us at WDW before I get to go there in November (right after thanksgiving).
