Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room is an attraction located in [[Adventureland]].
==Attraction History== ===Creation for Disneyland=== The genesis of what would one day become Walt Disney's Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room is musical revue began in 1950s with a Polynesian theme Walt Disney himself. At the time, Walt and is set his Imagineers had been working on a way to animate three dimensional figures for use in Disneyland. So far they had found minimal success however, as the mystical “Enchanted Tiki Roomtechnology that they developed (Audio Animatronics) was still very crude and unreliable.” The attraction originally opened with Although they had been able to animate some of the animals found on Disneyland’s [[Magic KingdomJungle Cruise]] , attempts at more complex Animatronics had proven unsuccessful. Things began to change however, when while on vacation in 1971 New Orleans, Walt came upon and is located in Adventureland within the Sunshine Pavillionbought a mechanical toy bird that could sing (as well as move its beak and wings) <ref name= "org"> http://www. Originally named the Tropical Serenade, the waltdisney.org/blog/disneyland-classics-walt-disneys-enchanted-tiki-room </ref>.[[Image:Walttiki.jpg|thumb|400px|Walt Disney World version of the show was a carbon copy of the in Disneyland attraction, The 's Enchanted Tiki Room]]. The show is hosted Inspired by four macaws of differing nationalities – Jose (Mexican)the technology used within the toy,Michael (Irish),Pierre (French)Walt decided that if toy makers could animate 3D objects, his Imagineers could too. After dissecting the bird and Fritz (German)who lead over 200 birdsunderstanding the technology that made it work, flowers Disney Imagineers were able to produce fluid, Audio Animatronic tropical birds (including toucans and Tikis in musical numbersmacaws) <ref name="D23">https://d23.com/tiki-room-50th-anniversary-archives/ </ref>.
With the design of the show now in place, Walt turned to the Sherman Brothers to create a new song for the attraction <ref name="Spence"/>, which had a working title of Legends of the Enchanted Tiki <ref>https://d23.com/tiki-room-50th-anniversary-archives/</ref>. According to the Shermans, “we suggested that the song could be done in a calypso beat: ‘the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room.’ It had a sound you could remember. And Walt bought the idea, just like that." <ref name=The Tropical Serenade==The Tropical Serenade operated from 1971 until 1997 "D23"/> As they were working on the attraction, the Sherman brothers suggested that a specific parrot be the emcee of the entire show. Walt liked this idea, but took it one step further. Instead of relying on a single host, the attraction would be hosted by four parrots which had French, Spanish, German, and Irish accents. Besides just providing the Tiki Room with a catchy song, the Sherman brothers also previewed what would be coming in the Sunshine Pavilionrest of the attraction with their opening number [[The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room]] <ref> https://www.youtube. ===Tropical Serenade Plot==com/watch?v=trtJMX90Etw </ref>.
The Tropical Serenade remained unchanged until 1997, when the show closed for renovations. Due to the attractions waning popularity, Disney decided they needed to seriously update the show. In order to do this, Imagineers added the popular characters Zazu (from Disney’s The Lion King) and Iago (from Disney’s Aladdin) to the attraction. Furthermore, the show was given a new plot that centered around Iago and Zazu becoming the new owners of the Tiki Room <ref name="yester"> http://www.yesterland.com/newmanagement.html </ref>. Although the show featured a brand new script and musical numbers, the original Tiki birds remained a part of the show <ref name=="yester"/>. After an extensive refurbishment, the Tropical Serenade Cast===reopened as The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management on April 5, 1998 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/the-enchanted-tiki-room-under-new-management.htm </ref>.
Despite Disney's efforts to make the new show appeal to a wider audience, Under New Management quickly proved to be unpopular with guests and attendance problems once again plagued the attraction <Ref name= "Spence"/>. In 2011 a small fire broke out in the attic of the Tiki Room theater, causing the sprinkler system to be activated <Ref name= "yester"/>. Although no one was injured in the fire, it has been heavily speculated that the Audio Animatronic Iago was badly damaged and that the attraction suffered some water damage <ref> http://thedisneyblog.com/2011/01/16/update-on-tiki-room-fire/ </ref>. 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 Tropical Serenade <ref name= "Spence"/>. To this end, on August 15, 2011 <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2011/08/walt_disneys_enchanted_tiki_ro_1.html </ref> the original show reopened as Walt Disney'Thurl Ravenscrofts Enchanted Tiki Room. Opening in time for the Magic Kingdom's 40th anniversary <ref name= "yester"/>, Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room follows the same script as the original show, however it is six minutes shorter. This brevity was caused by the removal of the "Barcarolle" number from Offenbach'-Fritzs "The Tales of Hoffman” opera <ref name="magic"/> and some of the attraction's dialogue <ref> http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/walt_disney_world's_magic_kingdom/enchanted_tiki_room/ </ref> <ref name= "Spence"/>.

The Enchanted Tiki Room'''Fulton Burley'''-Michaels preshow begins as guests wait outside of the Sunshine Pavilion. When the show is close to beginning, a waterfall found in the middle of the queue opens up to reveal two toucans, Claude (voiced by Sebastian Cabot) and Clyde (voiced by Dallas McKennon). After introducing themselves, Claude and Clyde tell the humerus tale of how they found the Enchanted Tiki Room before telling the audience that they hope that (guests) have a real "Tropical Serenade".
===The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room===Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room begins with guests entering the Enchanted Tiki Room, only to find all of the birds inside sleeping. A cast member then “wakes up” Jose (The red, white and green macaw located in the middle of the room) by either taping him with a stick or having the audience cheer loudly. After Jose is awake, the macaw wakes up the attractions three other hosts: Michael (a white and green macaw), Pierre (a white and blue macaw) and Fritz (a red, black, and white macaw). With the four hosts now ready to put on the show, Michael says they need to “wake up the glee club”, which he does with a loud whistle. As all of the birds throughout the room begin to chirp, the cast sings the attraction'''Ernie Newton'''-Pierre s first song [[The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room]]
