Description And Comments

A January 2011 fire shut down The Enchanted Tiki Room-Under New Management! While repairs were being made, the "management" since 1998--Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King--was laid off and replaced with José, Fritz, Michael, and Pierre, the same four crooning, wisecracking parrots that hosted the original version of the attraction, which premiered at Disneyland in 1963. Despite having returned to its roots (egg?), the production remains, well, a featherweight in the Disney galaxy of attractions. Although readers like the show, they caution that it may be more frightening to younger children than it used to be. Concerning the scary parts, a mother of three from Coleman, Michigan, is outspoken:

The Tiki Room show was very scary, with a thunder-and-lightning storm and a loud volcano. Can't Disney do anything without scaring young children? It's a bird show!

A New Jersey dad concurs, commenting:

The Enchanted Tiki Room is REALLY intense - far more intense than I remember fondly from previous visits. Tiki gods storming and smoking, the whole room plunged into utter darkness, and thunder and lightning that quite literally shakes the benches you're sitting on - our child (age 2 1/2 years) was terrified. Definitely not recommended for very young children.

Touring Tips

Usually not too crowded. We go in the late afternoon, when we appreciate sitting in an air-conditioned theater with our brains in park.
