You can speak on the pinapples and other yummy treats outside of it if you like...

Originally Posted By agent I always make fun of it. But, I always make a point to go each trip. My kids love it and I love the Dole Whips. I guess that answers the question!

If I didn't bring my chicky-chicky dance from IASW over there to perform with the Hawaiian War Chant at least once or twice every visit now, I'd be a very disappointed nutty shimmier. ;-)
Originally Posted By liveforvacations I love the Tiki Tiki Room! It is one of those attractions that anywhere else it would seem weird but at Disneyland, it works! Do you know what I mean? That being said, my husband absolutely hates it, and IASW, and refuses to go in with me. I say that it's his loss and make sure I enjoy it at least once every trip! Of course, I enjoy a dole whip as well!
Originally Posted By wonderingalice ^^Good for you, lfv!

Hee hee hee hee...)
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I love the Tiki Room.

I'm going to DL on Monday, and I've been planning to make it in there since my last trip there a few weeks ago. It certainly isn't a must do every time for me, but every couple times. My mom really liked it, so we always went when I was little, so I guess it's just sort of engrained in me. Sure, it's kitschy, but that's part of what makes it so great!

Originally Posted By wonderingalice ^^I know we'll be back there again during the first week of December again, if not sooner! I'll teach you (not much to learn... *LOL* Just combine the motions of the Tahitian dancers in IASW and the drummers in Tiki Room and totally cut loose and you've got it! ;-) and we can drive Mr. Alice completely over the edge... Heh heh heh heh...

I especially like their accents and the way they talk. *hence, the title of this thread (an ode to one of my favorite lines in the show)* Hey, that's a good idea...everyone post your favorite tiki room line... another one of mine is.. *Mi amigos, stop the clucking! You sound like a bunch of old hens!*
Originally Posted By SunshineOR For us, the Tiki Room is not something we'd do if we're short on time and trying to take in as much as possible quickly. We're doing a short trip with spring break crowds soon and will likely skip it to take in all our other favorites. However, we like to take a leisurely trip and find the time to visit the Tiki Room. Yes, we feel Dole Whips are a must! We love to get our treats, sit down and get off our feet for a while and enjoy the music.

Originally Posted By dltraveler Personally, I wouldn't miss it. We tried it again last year after a long hiatus, and in the process we remembered why we don't care for it. Perhaps it's because we're from Hawaii and the whole "Alooooha!" thing just makes us cringe. So, my perception is likely skewed.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I didn't go to the Enchanted Tiki Room for my first three trips because I didn't really think it was important.

I don't think I'd ever go to Disneyland again without seeing it - I hope they don't change it, I was underwhelmed by the WDW "Under New Management" version.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost I used to love the Tiki room at WDW before they ruined it with that loud mess of a show, "under new management". When I went to DL last year I noticed that Tiki has a cult following. They hold hands, sway back and forward while singing along. It is almost spiritual. Man do I ever wish it were back in WDW.
