/* Attraction History */
The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) opened to guests on April 5, 1998. While the attraction played to full audiences upon its opening, over time attendance once again began to dwindle. While the infusion of popular Disney characters endeared the attraction to a new young audience, many found the attraction's new cynical tone, and the shrill voice of Gilbert Godfried's Iago, offputting.
Despite its limited popularity, the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) continued to run until January 12, 2011, when a small fire broke out in the Tiki Room's attic. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the sprinkler system had been activated and the attraction's main Iago Audio Animatronic suffered extensive damage. Following the fire, the attraction closed, and its fate seemingly remained up in the air. The damage from the fire combined with the fact that a refurbished Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland had regained its popularity, convinced Disney that the time was right to bring back the original Tropical Serenade <ref name= "Spence"/>. Finally, at the 2011 D23 Expo, Disney announced that a slightly modified version of the original show would be returning.
