In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room


The Enchanted Tiki Room has been a classic since The Magic Kingdom first opened. Though most of the animatronic figures have remained the same, some new birds have joined the cast!


The new "and improved" show now features the likes of Iago (Aladdin) and Zazu (The Lion King) as the show's new managers.

Some people liked the change... others (like me) don't. The plot of this attraction now seems pointless and silly whereas the original's plot was created by Walt; even if it was cheesy it was a piece of history. This new plot may have originally drawn in more people, it has settled out, and not many people go to see it (there is rarely a line, even in peak season). This ride still only pulls in Disney fanatics and admirers of the attraction in particular.

This attraction is a definite must-see if you have younger children, or are simply enthralled by Classic Disney because much of the original attraction is preserved. This ride does have it's "scary moments" (darkness, and "thunder") which could be too much for younger children, but generally speaking, this is a family-friendly ride!

I'm one of those that likes the "Under New Management" show.

I think it gets way too much flack from Disney purists, who seem to get all too bent out of shape over it and need to develop a sense of humor.

I also don't think that the new show's plot is silly or pointless at all.
