There is nothing better than a Disney attraction with ties to Walt Disney himself.  First premiering at Disneyland in 1963, the Enchanted Tiki room was an opening day attraction at Walt Disney World in 1971.   The Disneyland version was the first attraction to feature audio-animatronics, the foundation for the Disney 1964 World's Fair attractions.  The Walt Disney World version of the attraction was an identical show, with a different pre-show, the Tropical Serenade. There are over 150 talking, singing, and dancing birds, flowers, tiki drummers, and tiki totem poles—all singing the signature "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room song" by the Sherman brothers, among others. During a 2013 interview for the Tiki Room's 50th anniversary, Wally Crump explained that the Tiki Room's original concept was a restaurant.  Walt was ahead of his time; The Rainforest Café wouldn't open until 1994.  Of course, I joke, but you can see the similarities and how the show quickly became the focus versus a dining venue. There are over 150 talking, singing, and dancing birds, flowers, tiki drummers, and tiki totem poles—all singing the signature "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room song" by the Sherman brothers, among others. This edition of SamsDisneyDiary is the 2019 version of the Walt Disney World Enchanted Tiki Room!
