Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room has closed at the Disneyland Resort. This comes as the musical attraction begins a lengthy refurbishment. The attraction, which opened in 1963 and has become a beloved favorite for fans visiting Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom.
On Monday, walls had already gone up around the attraction. However, guests who wanted to still order a Dole Whip could do so. The walls wrap in a way to allow guests to still pick up their Dole Whips via a narrow walkway. Daps Magic team member Steven stopped by Disneyland to check out how this looks.

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room Official Description
Tropical birds, tiki gods and colorful flowers come to life in a swinging South Seas musical celebration.
A Musical Paradise
An extravagant feast for your eyes and ears, this theater-in-the-round show invites you to experience the beauty and magic of the Pacific Islands.
Take your seat in an air-conditioned ceremonial house in the heart of Polynesia. As the lights dim, 4 talking macaws spring to life. Before long, the chorus of crooning birds is joined by an enchanting cast of over 225 choreographed Audio-Animatronics performers.
Sing along and enjoy the magic of this jubilant Disney classic!
Enter an Enchanted Garden
As you gather on the lush patio before the show, carved totem poles representing island gods spring to life and introduce themselves.
Don’t forget to treat yourself to a world-famous Pineapple Dole Whip® from the patio-side Tiki Juice Bar while you wait!
An Animation First
The Audio-Animatronics technology that powers the show was introduced to the world when Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room debuted in 1963 at Disneyland Park.
This groundbreaking technology allowed animators to synchronize movement, audio and visual effects, paving the way for other classic attractions like “it’s a small world”, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion.
Dinner with the Birds
Walt Disney originally envisioned the Enchanted Tiki Room as a dinner show. However, he knew the attraction would be so popular that he changed the format to accommodate more Guests before it opened.
Today in the Tiki Room
The current show has been enhanced with a state-of-the-art show-control system, remastered audio and energy-efficient lighting—while maintaining all the charm and wit of the original.Guests can now dine on the flavors of the tropics at The Tropical Hideaway restaurant right next door. You lucky people you!
