Changes
/* Walt Disney World */
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 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 of 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's 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 Offenbach "Barcarolle" number from Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffman” opera <refname="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"/>.
