I just found out via the above link, they are putting the tiki room back to it's original glory
AND casting out the evil parrot Iago with a voice that made me want to throw my shoe at him
AND eliminating the freaky silly volcanoe god.
AND it will be open for my August trip....

Walt would be proud...I can't tell you how very happy I am...!

From what I understand, it won't be exactly like the original. However, it should be a welcome change for those who did not enjoy the 'under new management' version.

I always loved the tiki room, but the new mgmt verison got on my nerves - althought I never missed seeing it when I visited. I hope the classic version is a hit with everyone!!!

 

[LoriABil]

Oh, I hope it's a retake on the classic! Yea!

I couldn't find it in the link. What is the exact date it'll be reopened?

 

[MonoManBlue]

lets hope they don't butcher it like they did with Journey into Imagination..........

 

[ducky_love]

Oh- I thought from the title it opened early! I was planning on going TONIGHT if that was that case!!

I'm surprised how much I miss my Tiki!

 

[apicozzi]

I can't wait to see it again! I stopped going after seeing "Under New Management" a few times..

Me too. It's such a minor attraction for most but I love it. We will not be back till Sept and I'm glad we are waiting so that it will be open again by then.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the "near" original one again - I had only seen it twice before the new management came in. My kids have only seen that version and they really like it. Go figure.

 

[sydneysmom]

You know, I have to admit... I have NEVER seen either show ! Not even once. I KNOW!! In all the times I've been to WDW, we've just never gone to see it.... I guess next time I might have to !!

Yea, I hope it opens for my trip as well. I read this awhile ago they changed it due to a fire correct?

Glad it's gonna be under old management!

 

[BrdwayBoy]

I'm so looking forward to seeing this in August; I've been to WDW many times, but some how I've never made it to the Tiki Room.

The rehab schedule shows until 8/15 - but I understand that might just be an estimate..http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/rehab.htm

Taken from the LINK
"5/15/11: The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) will be returning to a version similar to the original 1971 version. Fans have never really embraced the new Tiki Room, so this news comes as a welcome answer to the questions that have been buzzing around the internet since a fire in January caused the attraction to close for repair. The new version will open this summer and will once again be called "Enchanted Tiki Room". "

Looked here as well..

WISHING FOR PIXIE DUST! Go Walt!...PUHLEEZE...Expunge the obnoxious loud IAGO...and Volcanoe goddess!

I'm looking forward to seeing the "restored" show on our October trip. I was OK with the new management show but definitely preferred the original.

We generally fit in a visit to the Tiki Room. Its a nice break in the AC and generally never has a line.

Me too!! Very very happy

Yes according to this LINK - there was a fire JANUARY 2011

 

[bluejasmine]

Cant wait to see it in Sept! My teens have never seen the original..

 

[wdwpirates]

Really excited for this!! Can't wait to see the re-do!

Yep. I was there the day it happened I have kicked myself daily since, because we didn't go- it was our "we'll do it tomorrow" attraction
