The Enchanted Tiki Room

Pros: Cool room, fun music, creative animatronics
Cons: Iago (aka headache inducing parrot) could be done without

I have heard a lot about the Enchanted Tiki Room at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, but I have never actually experienced it for myself, having passed by it many times. Full of differences in opinion, apparently this attraction has ...

Pros: THE bizarro attraction at the Magic Kingdom. Highly underrated.
Cons: Takes a sense of calm to appreciate.

Simplistic innocence takes on many forms across Walt Disney World. For example, who'd have thought that water + log boat + gravity would equal such a great ride as Splash Mountain ? Take a rather mundane roller coaster, enclose it and turn out...

Pros: rarely has waits, hints of a good show, wide variety of musical styles
Cons: no good seats, Iago horrid and grating, odd light effects

I never saw the original incarnation of the Enchanted Tiki Room. By the time I made my first visit to Disney World, the place was already "under new management" and an odd hybrid show attempting to mix the traditional with the new and hip. While I can ...

Pros: Great show, no line and air conditioned
Cons: none

Oh my aching feet!

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida sure it a lot of fun, but it’s killer on the feet. My kids and I visit Florida every summer. My family lives here and it gives us a chance to see them, as well as find some fun in the...

Pros: You can sit down in an air conditioned room.
Cons: The attempt to make a classic hip and cool utterly failed.

In an effort o revitalize a classic, Disney decided to update The Enchanted Tiki Room.  When it reopened, it added the subtitle Under New Management.  They completely changed the show and included Iago from Aladdin and Zazu ...

Pros: Iago and Zazu are familiar characters, air conditioned
Cons: not as good as the older version of this show

The Enchanted Tiki Room, Under New Management, is a show that lasts about 15 minutes. We saw the older version in 1996 and, personally, I liked the older version better. There was more singing and more fun to the older show, in my opinion. ...

Pros: The left one original song.
Cons: The rest of the show

I was mad when Disney got rid of Mr. Toads Wild Ride, and I was angry when they retired 20,000 leagues under the Sea, But I just could not believe what they did to the The Enchanted Tiki Room.
They ruined it. The old show was so charming. It was one...

Pros: no line, air conditioned
Cons: they ruined the show!

When I heard that Disney had redone The Enchanted Tiki Room, it never dawned on me that they would ruin it. I’d loved those singing flowers and chanting totems, where else on earth could you sit underneath dozens of birds without worrying...

Pros: the original birds, the songs
Cons: the tiki god/dess

I read many of the other opinions on this attraction and felt a need to defend it. I was a disciple of the old show and am still a fan after the "new management."

First let me tell you about my experiences with the old show. The first time I...

Pros: It's over! Some of the birds are still fun. Would be fine for adults or older children.
Cons: Scary for little ones.

[Please see new revision at end of review].

We just visited The Magic Kingdom last weekend, for the first time in over seven years for me! This is the first time our children (ages 3 & 7), have ever been.

There were so...

Pros: Upbeat; Colorful
Cons: Limited appeal; People who haven't seen the original won't get the joke

Until I saw this ride I never thought that Disney was capable of such self-satire. The Enchanted Tiki Room had been playing the same show for almost thirty years before they decided it wasn't marketable enough to take up so much space. Consequently, they...

Pros: Entertaining for small kids
Cons: Nothing like the old Tiki room!

Introduction

I was very excited to see the enchanted Tiki room. I had bought the Disney CD Collection, and the Tiki room song was one of my favorites. I knew almost the entire thing by heart, and was ready to see it paired with...

Pros: Entertaining show that made me laugh and smile
Cons: Some people find it boring :-(

The Enchanted Tiki Room is "Under New Management" at WDW. With the addition of Iago (from Aladdin) and Zazu (from the Lion King) as the managers of the Tiki Room, this attraction now incorporates the past show with a newer version that has been...

Pros: Good music
Cons: None

I seem to currently hold the minority opinion here at Epinions about this attraction, but I greatly enjoyed the Tiki Room. The voices, music and jokes were updated and funny. Gilbert Godfrey was one of the main bird voices and he was hysterical as...

Pros: robotic bird show, alittle cute
Cons: corny, old show

Enchanted Tiki Room is a a corny show at Magic Kingdom. This is a collection of more than 200 birds that tell wisecracks. They are automated birds, with wings flapping, singing flowers, totem poles and statues. The hosts of the show are Jose, Michael,...
