The Enchanted Tiki Room opened in Disneyland in 1963. I never get tired of it. I love the show every single time, and I enjoy singing along.
When we were there three weeks ago, we sat and waited outside for the next show to begin. It was dark out and I thoroughly enjoyed the little pre-show before the doors opened. If I have ever sat and experienced that entire show before, it was so long ago that I didn't remember it at all.
There is a short film about the history of the Dole company, and the Tiki Gods speak to you from every corner. I thought it was great!
At the Tiki Juice Bar Hosted by Dole, you can get a Dole Whip, and a few other Dole goodies.
This Dole magazine advertisement is from 1951:

And here is one from 1953:

How timely that you should post this, as the Tiki Room is one of the attractions my DD is most excited to see when we go to Disneyland this weekend! I have some CDs of Disney music and the Tiki Room song is on there and she just LOVES it. I just called her in to show her your pictures so she'll know what to expect. And I personally can't WAIT to have a Dole Whip or a Dole Float! :D I'll think of you when I'm there this weekend!
I LOVE the enchanted Tiki Room at WDW! One of my favorite places!~~~XXOO, Beth
I love fresh pineapple too, if it is perfectly ripe. I'd love to be at the Tiki Room! I mean at "the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room". I love the talking parrots and minahs, I remember one is named Jose. Hi Faith, I too went on a Dole pineapple tour on Oahu in 1978. Very interesting. They gave us pineapples and I actually brought one home to California. Great post and I'd better go out now and buy a pineapple. Love T
Hey ladies, the pineapple thing is not so hard!! We just hosted a Hawaiian party where we served roasted shredded pork, rice, cole slaw and FRESH PINEAPPLE! My hubby showed me how to cut it. The main thing you need is a big and very sharp knife. Look it up on Wikipedia... you can do it! I know you can!
I love the Tiki Room! For some reason as a child we missed going there but I found it on a trip there when I was 20. It is really dated, a Disney classic!
I have this on record..does anyone have it converted to MP3 and available online? I would love to play it in my car. Thanks
