Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room proved to be a smash hit for Disneyland, and thus it was an obvious choice for inclusion in Walt Disney World. In the Magic Kingdom, the Enchanted Tiki Room was renamed "Tropical Serenade" and housed inside the Sunshine Pavilion sponsored by the Citrus Florida Growers. Opening with the rest of the park on October 1, 1971, Tropical Serenade was essentially of a carbon copy of the Disneyland show.

In 2011 a small fire broke out in the attic of the Tiki Room theater, causing the sprinkler system to be activated. 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.
