Enchanted Tiki RoomAnimatronic showLast edited by Robert Niles Set in an immersive room, where singing birds and flowers hang from the ceiling and the walls themselves become part of the show, the Enchanted Tiki Room show takes place all around and above visitors. Most folks under 40 will miss the dated vocal references to 50s and 60s celebrities such as Maurice Chevalier, Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. But kids will enjoy the colorful birds and flowers, not to mention the singing tikis and totems. Disneyland's decision years ago to axe the tedious Offenback number enlivened the Enchanted Tiki Room show and, if nothing elese, the blissful air conditioning's a treat in the summer months, too. Note that this is otherwise the original version of the Enchanted Tiki Room show, not the "Under New Management" version that plays at Walt Disney World in Florida. One more tip: If the line for Dole Whips is too long, just come into the Tiki Room's pre-show area. You can order from inside the pre-show area and the wait there is much, much shorter.

Reader reviews of Enchanted Tiki Room
Another top-notch effort from the wily Imagineers. I've been to Disneyland 400+ times in my 48 years and always make sure to visit this great attraction. Although I do miss the Tahitian Terrace Restuarant. The good old days. - mark evans A really pleasant show. This one of the best places to chill at Disneyland. The Dole stand is inside and outside the gates for this attraction so grabbing a whip or float while waiting for the next tiki room show to start is a treat, especially in the hot summer months. Once inside this classic show you get a chance to sit down in an air conditioned room and see a show that has stood the test of time. If you want a place to sit down and relax, or just want to watch a classic show than this is the place. There are shows every 20 minutes. - Manny Barron I used to love this thing when i was little, and it's still pretty cool. Its a good place to go if its hot outside or if you have little kids. - Chloe ! Revered mostly for it's "classic" status, the Enchanted Tiki Room is a great way to beat the heat and experience some of the "old school" animatronics within. Not to mention the great Dole Pineapple Whip! - Jacob Sundstrom Fulfilled a childhood dream when, upon taking the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps" tour, got to 'wake up' Jose... - Dave Williamson 6/10 This is a show that will delight anyone on their FIRST TIME. The birds are funny and the shows are cute. I guarantee you won't have to wait to get in. It's downside is that it's kind of short and it gets old after you've seen it once or twice. pros: entertaining +5 and short wait +3. cons: gets old -1 and is short -1. - Jack Borgeson This is definitely in the top five all time best Disney Attractions, especially since the recent complete restoration. The story, the songs, the music, the animatronics, the effects... Everything works so well to make this an awesome beautiful, thrilling, enchanted experience! - Jeff Nielson This show is for young and old. It was great to see young children singing along with the seniors in the group as well as all ages in between. - Chris K Tiki Room's fun. I like the show and the toucans but the space is small. When I was young I was scred of it - bennett devlin The Enchanted Tiki Room is a classic attraction that has been entertaining audiences for generations. It may be boring to teens and young adults, but it is a must-see for fans of Classic Disney Magic - Sarah E
