Of course I would have preferred the Circle of Hands theatre in the round AA extravaganza first proposed, but it sounds like it would have been a huge waste of money for the modern park goers. How sad. Personally I would rather have Circle of Hands over the whole of Paradise Pier, but I know I am different.

Didn't the attractions host used to that in the Tiki Room too to wake one of the birds at the start of the show? Do they still do this? I haven't set foot in there in forever.

Originally Posted By DlandDug LOL. Some of the hosts tap the perch with a stick, others have the crowd "wake up the birds," and some just call to them. Funny thing-- Jose still says "Buenas dias, senorita," even though most of the hosts are now guys. Some hosts work it into a gag ("Wake up, Jose! And don't call me senorita again!"), and others just ignore it.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 And to Hans she was classic Disney. To me she was okay but occasionally corny. And that's makes the world go around.

Putting the word classic, and what she did in G.D, may be a crime punishable by one year of banishment from Disneyland!
