Best I could do, hope this helps....
The Enchanted Tiki Room - Under New Management blends the original cast of characters into a witty, upbeat show that features several new choreographed musical numbers. One song guests are sure to recognize is a stirring rendition of "Friend Like Me," sung by Iago. Another is "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" song, led by Jose.

* The original plan for the Enchanted Tiki Room was to have it as a Polynesian-style restaurant, and not an attraction. When he was planning the original attraction for
Disneyland, Walt Disney's concept was to possibly have a Chinese restaurant that featured a Confucius-like character offering words of wisdom to dining guests. The idea of a restaurant was quickly scrapped after Walt Disney didn't believe it would be practical.
* Walt Disney was inspired to create the Enchanted Tiki Room attraction when he purchased a fascinating, antique animated bird he found in a New Orleans shop. The original idea for the Disneyland attraction (which opened first in 1963), was for a dinner show, but that proved impractical. The original Tiki Room script was written by Wally Boag and Fulton Burley.
* This attraction originally premiered in Disneyland in 1963, and was the first to use Audio-Animatronic figures.
* The Sunshine Pavilion is the name of the building that houses the "Enchanted Tiki Room. - Under New Management" It was originally a D-Ticket attraction and was known as the "Tropical Serenade" and was the first attraction to use Audio Animatronic characters.
* When the "Tropical Serenade" in the "Sunshine Pavilion" opened on October 1, 1971, it was sponsored by and closely tied into the The Florida Citrus Growers. For more than 21 years, a "barker bird" (called the "Orange Bird") who sang for passing guests and begged them to come into the Tiki Room stood outside the attraction. In 1992, a new bird named Artemus took over until 1997, when the Tropical Serenade closed for a major rehab. The attraction opened again in April 1998 as The Enchanted Tiki Room... Under New Management
* "The Enchanted Tiki Room - Under New Management," opened on April 5, 1998, and contains the original cast of characters as well as the new "owners" of the Tiki Room, Iago and Zazu, in an funny, upbeat show that features several new musical numbers. The original attraction, known as the "Tropical Serenade," (but often referred to as just the "Enchanted Tiki Room," opened with the Magic Kingdom in 1971. The show's original four hosts, Jose', Michael, Pierre, and Fritz, are still present in the attraction, and most had new voice-overs recorded for the updated show.
