tiki birds

[MrsBanks]

I love the Enchanted Tiki Room - so much so that when I sign on to my computer it sings "In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki,Tiki, Tiki room . . ."

I love the tiki birds. Why? I have no idea but I do. I liked the original version better but the newer version isn't bad. I make it a must whenever I go. Gilbert Gottfried's voice annoys me but I can deal with it just long enough. Of course after the tiki birds I get a citrus swirl, yum! And for some reason all day I have been singing this song.

I also love the tiki birds. It's one of the attractions that I remember from our honeymoon trip. I am also annoyed by Gilbert Gottfried's voice. I can't understand why they used him of all the voices. Anyway, it won't stop me from liking the birds. I would love to have one in my home singing his song, (My lovebird would hate him and try to attack him).

It's a Disney classic! I can remember as a kid, there was a television special that showed the attraction at Disneyland! - wow, guess I'm showing my age! I can remember my Grandmother coming back from visiting relatives in California and bringing us a board game based on the Jungle Cruise!

We leave the 17th of May! Can't wait.

The sweetpea loves the Tiki Room. We try to go often. Not every trip, but enough. She really enjoys the show. Ever since she was a little tyke she liked it. I told her it was here Pacific Island heritage. lol

But I actually really like Gilbert's voice. It cracks me up. Plus over the years, I've been able to develop a fairly good mimicry of it. And boy, doesn't the DW looooooove that...

My favorite line is from a SNL skit from a couple of years ago, where the Hollywood Squares set came crashing down, trapping the 'celebrities' inside, and Jimmy Fallon, as Gilbert, yells "I can't feel my legs so good!!".

(wow, I annoy even myself sometimes...)

You can add me to the list that likes this. True, I do use it as a break to get out of the crowds and hot weather but there are other options to do that as well yet I still choose the Tikis. Its cute and think about trying to put it together.

Love the tiki room!!! Prefer the older version to the newer one. If they could just tone down Iago a little bit...

The bird of paradise is an elegant bird
It likes to be seen and it loves to be heard

 

[HeatherPage]

Yep, we like it too - my son loves the song and Iago

 

[Jamie77]

I've seen it once, and I thought, I don't ever need this again.

Same here.

I love it. It is one of my must see's every trip.

My dd loves it too. When she was 14 months old we took her for her first time. She stood on my lap, waving her arms and saying tiki tiki tiki through the whole show. When it was over we looked over at her and she was standing up with her eyes closed on my lap. It was already way past her nap and she was half asleep when we went in.

I think I will now be singing tiki tiki tiki room the rest of the day.

 

[jamstew]

Same here.

I'm with you. I've only seen the old version, but my entire family wanted out within about 5 minutes (kids were 11 and 16 at the time). I probably won't bother checking out the new version.

 

[nataliesdaddy]

yes I love the tiki birds

 

[LadyLuc361]

Count me in too! I wouldn't say I LOVE them, but I don't know if I would want to miss it It's one of those attractions that seems very "Disney" to me.

 

[goofy4wdw2]

We love the Tiki Birds. It reminds me of growing up and going to WDW with my family, and now my DH and I love the updated songs and birds. It's a must do for us every time.

 

[lllovell]

Personally, I love the Tiki Room, but not for the reasons you might suspect. It's a tradition for my family to do the Tiki Room and then when we exit, we veer left to the Citrus Swirl stand just outside the doors and enjoy a citrus swirl. For those of you who swear by the Dole Whip, these are very tasty, too. They are a twist cone with vanilla ice cream and frozen orange juice. It's a MUST DO for me!

I only noticed this stand for the first time when we were down in April, but it is definately going to be a must stop for us next time! I LOVE Dole Whips and think my whole family will like a Citrus Swirl!

Also, we are big fans of the Tiki Birds. Gives us some down time and also is a fun show!

 

[Beth8266]

LOVE IT!! It totally is a growing up memory for me. So glad my sister is in CA so that I can the org. when we go to DL. Def a must see. I embarass my 8yo DD by singing the song every chance I get!!

 

[TinkerbellMama]

My dh loves the Tiki birds!!!!!! He is disappointed they don't still have the old version, but I think he would cry if we missed the Tiki Room on any of our visits! Seriously! He goes around singing the song at home all the time.
