Enchanted Tiki Room - Adventureland attraction at Disneyland; opened on June 23, 1963. The first attraction to feature sophisticated Audio-Animatronics figures. The term Audio-Animatronics earlier described the movable figures populating Nature's Wonderland, but the process was greatly changed enabling press releases to call the Enchanted Tiki Room the first to use Audio-Animatronics.
The four parrot hosts of the show are named Fritz, Michael, Pierre and Joseé. They introduce a lively 17-minute musical presentation by more than 200 birds, flowers and tikis. The audience is invited to join in with "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing."
It had originally been planned to have the Tiki Room as a restaurant, but that would have greatly limited capacity. Sponsored from 1964 to 1973 by United Airlines, and from January 1976 on by Dole Pineapple. Also in Adventureland at Tokyo Disneyland; opened April 15, 1983. The similar attraction at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World was known as the Tropical Serenade, located in the Sunshine Pavilion. The Florida attraction's show was extensively renovated, reopening in the spring of 1998 as The Enchanted Tiki Room - Under New Management.
I remember watching this as a young child. I thought it was really raining. I couldn't understand how it had cleared up so quickly when we came out. If you get the chance, try the pineapple whip. It's light and cold and really good. ~~Becky
