Behind the Scenes of the Enchanted Tiki Room

Includes clips of the original show.

[@fallspeed]

The "barker bird" at the entrance to Adventureland was soon removed because it created too much of a traffic jam.

[@eventvisionsinc]

I wish disney would build a park or at least an area in a park where the theme is old disney rides, where the disney's history and it outdated rides can still be enjoyed. Yeah some of the old epcot ride where outdated but it moved beyond that, if some of these rides could be seen for another 100 years just the level of how bizarre they are in themselves would be an attraction, people would enjoy them.

That is a lot of computers. In the modern version, the whole thing is probably controlled by an industrial PLC the size of a lunchbox. I'd love to see some more behind-the-scenes footage.

[@ZeranZeran]

it's controlled by a raspberry pi

[@deoxys3869]

zeranzeran THAT LITTLE THING IS CONTROLLING THAT WHOLE SHOW?! 😱

[@pepepepinazo9694]

@@deoxys3869 probably not a raspberry pi, but something as little as a desktop computer migh be doing all the work

[@danielandlucycartoonsmadne5885]

Jose is so adorable. Love the Tiki Room ❤

[@lilcrazy09]

"and here is special thing to make coffee" lol!

[@ztslovebird]

That would be SO cool! And they could have TONS of stuff there, not just the classic Disney rides: maybe revive 50s styles for resturants, clotheslines, and NO POP STARS!!! They could call it "Retro Disney"!

[@viking90706]

Saw it today, classic Tiki of the times, Think 1963 The Movie Diamond head and the birds referencing Bing Crosby, freaking time capsule LUV-IT!

[@tla1472]

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS ANCIENT!!!

[@SoundGuyDavo]

"We forgot to wake up the Glee Club." is that what I heard ?

[@gerryu21220]

The Barker Bird is really Jose's cousin "Juan".

[@acciofirebolt29]

@REDILLUSTRATOR Wow thats cool...you guys caught my attention right away because of the missing teeth...too cute!!! I love this show and have since I was a small child but I always wondered if kids back in that time were really that fascinated with the tiki room??

[@33Keith33]

@twoeffs38 The Tiki Room (Under New Management) at Disney World has a small fire last January and Iago was destroyed. Rumor has it that when it reopens in a few months, it will be the original show again. Hopefully Disneyland will follow suit and bring back Country Bear Jamboree (perhaps in California Adventure).

[@MonsoonMoonrock]

50th anniversary coming up this June!

[@GooglFascists]

@disneyanimationfan41 The original IS back, as of August of 2011, sort of. The fountain is gone. The 3 minute Offenbach number is too. So is the "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing" audience participation segment. But its close to the original and so welcome after their horrible mistake of using Gilbert "Garbage" Gottfried's big mouth to RUIN the Disney classic for years. The Tiki Room is back to near its original peaceful beauty, and that's enough for us.

[@JediMcFly717]

I Will Deffintly Be There!

[@joerusso4219]

Looks like they where using fullcoat film with magnet audio and control tracks on them

[@Kane615]

1:32 And it can hold all of 1mb worth of data. :P

[@cookieshopgirl]

i have never been to the tiki tiki room

[@shavedparmesanprosciuttoan4317]

You have to visit the enchanted tiki room! It’s one of last standing original Disney attractions. My sister actually decorated her bedroom to look like the tiki room 😅

[@Kane615]

@ObiTrev Eh what? Walt's cremated. All computers around the time this was built were that big.

[@ZeranZeran]

2:22 lol

[@YourMrJohnson]

Glee Club, yep.

[@andreapatane4204]

This is great footage even though Walt Disney and most of the imagineers are dead. Thumbs up if you wish to order a Tiki Room sundress on shopDisney.com immediately.

[@A113Productions]

Thanks :)

[@ztslovebird]

I like Jerry Orbach's Pierre more.

[@tamisweetie]

@GooglFascists Cool, thanks!! : )

[@tamisweetie]

The room where everything in the tiki room is controlled, where is that? In the Park? backstage?

[@michaelkozik3468]

Underneath the room

[@BenCDaugherty]

I doubt it but is it possible that this attraction is still operating on magnetic tape?

[@SpookyPretzel]

@disneyanimationfan41 it's back now

[@GooglFascists]

@tamisweetie Underground! The Disney parks are built on top of huge rooms and tunnels where the machinery and electronics operate, food deliveries are made and technicians maintain the machinery.

[@A113Productions]

Is there a specific time period for this film (Can anyone tell me what year)?

[@rob99201]

Jan 3rd, 1965. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney's_Enchanted_Tiki_Room#cite_note-TencennVid-12 (reference #9). Sorry I am replying a bit late - hope you didn't need it for a report or something...

[@ztslovebird]

No offence to the classics, but I prefer the Lumiere-voiced Pierre to the original voice of Pierre.

[@ObiTrev]

@Costerguy1234556 It was a joke, based on an Urban Myth. You know the Myth that Walt's Severed head is cryogenically frozen under Sleeping Beautie's Castle until the day they find a cure for Cancer. I then made the assumption that if Disney being the innovator he was, was able to build these computers (which for anybody at the time was an achievement in themselves) then by the time of his death his team must have made a super computer that could sustain his frozen head. Again it's a joke :{p

[@Kane615]

@ObiTrev Oh crap sorry. :P

[@botellapapel2179]

What DVD is that?

[@DAYLEDACS]

Add a comment...

[@ObiTrev]

@Costerguy1234556 I'm convinced, Walt Disney is indeed buried in a eugenically frozen coffin. With all of those computers running the show, I'm sure by his death they had an unrivaled super computer the likes the world has never seen.

[@waytospergtherebro]

I'm convinced you don't know what "eugenic" means and shouldn't try to say it anymore.

[@tzkelley]

The bird gives a wolf wistle and the girl says "thank you." That's the way it should be.

[@waytospergtherebro]

Fritz wasn't a puppet. One of the Nazis who built Disneyland actually transferred his consciousness into the body of a bird in order to escape the war crimes tribunal.

[@shavedparmesanprosciuttoan4317]

Only mildly racist 😅

[@Skelloween]

The voice acting is so nauseating. xD

[@pepepepinazo9694]

What did you expect?

[@BKDBrian2]

In my opinion the original attraction without Iago & Zazu is just dull and boring, plus it's far too bright and cheerful without those characters. Too bad it caught on fire in January 2011, and now my favorite Aladdin & Lion King characters are gone. I thought it was much more fun and exciting with them in it. But who knows, they might make a comeback someday, and maybe "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" might replace "Captain EO" again. I liked "Honey" better.

[@sanchezsushi007]

I agree about the tiki room

[@reelrebel5406]

Brian Draney I know right.

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Well you are entitled to your opinion, even though most people will disagree with you.

[@gregorypena2330]

Sorry, but no. The original Tiki Room is far superior.

[@sarahsheepdog]

I found this video from an article called "This Attraction Was So Bad Disney Fans Cheered When it Closed Forever" The tiki room isn't dull and boring, it's sweet and wholesome. 'Too bright and cheerful'? It's Disneyland!

[@hehmtube]

The people...they're so white

[@alebertfama]

Why Walt, why? America may never fully recover from this insidious early 60's nightmare. An insult to authentic Tiki aesthetics and moral principles. More rum please, and make it Haitian Barbancourt!
