-Like the original Tropical Serenade show, the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) began with the attraction's host waking up Jose, the attraction's host. After awakening  the macaw would wake 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 start the show, Michael would note that they needed to “wake up the glee club”. After whistling for the rest of his friends to arise, all of the birds throughout the room began to chirp, the cast began to sing the attraction's first song The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room.

-When the original Enchanted Tiki Room opened in Disneyland on June 23, 1969, it was a technological marvel <ref name= "D23"> https://d23.com/a-to-z/enchanted-tiki-room/ </ref>. Introducing the Audio Animatronic technology to audiences, Disney's newest technological breakthrough proved to be a smash hit <ref name= "D23"/>.

-Like its Disneyland counterpart, the Tropical Serenade proved to be extremely popular upon its opening. By the 1990s however, the attraction's popularity had begun to wane. With the luster of the early Audio Animatronic technology gone, and the genre of the attraction from a long gone era, the Tiki Room played to low audiences, who were known to walk out during the show. With this in mind, Disney began to look for a way to update the show.

 {{Quotation|It was kind of demoralizing to see guests leave in the middle of the (original) show,” said Burke. “So we wanted to infuse new life into it. We wanted to bring out the Disney magic that current audiences would relate to. People who have seen the show before will wonder ‘What is going on around here?” <ref name="Korkis"/>}}

 For the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management)  the original voice actors for Jose (Wally Boag), Michael (Fulton Burley) and Thurl Ravenscroft (Fritz) were brought back, while Pierre's voice (which had originally performed by Ernie Newton) was rerecorded by Jerry Orbach.
-Besides the attraction's two famous new owners, The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management), the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) featured three other new characters. The attraction's preshow as now hosted by two toucan talent agents named Morris (voiced by Phil Hartman) and William (voiced by Don Rickles), who bickered over who had the better clients. Inside the attraction's main show, in addition to the attraction's familiar cast, Iago and Zazu were joined by Uh-Oa, the Tiki Goddess of Disaster who eventually would put Iago in his place.

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, off-putting.
