Rumor Bye Bye (Tiki) Birdies?

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

For MNSSHP sure.
But no I don't believe the rumor that one person comes up with.
There have been many things that people talk about that never ended up happening.

 

[wedenterprises]

I don't think UNM failed because simply it was an overlay, I think it failed because it was cynical, plus Iago was annoying. A character like Hei Hei is sweet and innocent and could potentially strengthen the existing spirit of the show.

While I would personally leave the Tiki Room alone, there exists an entry point for the poor Imagineer who has been tasked with pulling a Chapek.

If it's more than an overlay and they tear the show out, I'll definitely be upset.

Enchanted tales with Moana!

 

[QuasiNoFroyo]

I bet Maui has sold damn few of those. He's about as cuddly as Quasimodo, and his toy/doll versions were nightmare-fueled merchandising disasters.

How dare you talk bad about me like that!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

So the yearly "Tiki Room is closing" thread has turned into a weekly thing? Some people have too much time on their hands.

 

[Magicart87]

Enchanting tales with Moana!

Sounds highly probable.

 

[MouseBrayden]

Why don’t they just put the Moana show rumored today inside the Moana volcano hotel rumored 2017 next to the Moana Adventureland meet and greet rumored 2016?

 

[Hakunamatata]

I don't recall him having a hummingbird form. He did briefly turn into a bug though.

Thatmay be what i was thinking of.

Well, you know, if they can shoehorn Frozen into Maelstrom...

I get what you’re saying, but I’m not sure that’s a fair comparison. Technically speaking, there’s a lot more you more you can do with a ride show building even if it’s not particularly large when compared to similar attractions. The Tiki Room is exactly what it says it is: a room. The space is so limiting that it would difficult to turn it into a truly worthy Moana experience for even casual guests.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

So the big rumors for the 50th....
slap white paint on Tomorrowland.
Take out country bears for toy story.
Add / Replace Moana with Tiki Birds
Plop Tron down next to Space Mountain.

Oh yeah... and change the name to “move it, shake it, fifty-party-up-it”.

Can’t wait.

 

[marni1971]

@marni1971 reported that something could happen to Tiki Room, including a Moana overlay.

Yeah. They’re a bit behind with the news.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I just hope Disney considers the coconuts.

For as much as I love Moana, I'd be terribly saddened to see the Tiki Room go especially since they brought it back to its original state after UNM. I feel like Disneyland shouldn't be the keeper of all Walt original attractions and we should save the few that we have here as well.

Say what you will about UNM, but at least it was extremely self-aware of the reasons behind its own existence. If this ends up happening, I can guarantee you it won’t be.

On the other hand, folks complain that WDW always gets what DL gets. Even MMRR and TRON may (will? Certainly MMRR is being copy/pasted to DL and WDSP) go to DL.

When I went to DL, it had a feel that I can’t fully explain. You could feel Walt’s presence there. This has never existed in WDW for me. I don’t mind DL staying Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom and ours changing. The idea of updating the Tiki Room wasn’t the problem to me. It was the execution. Under New Management was OBNOXIOUS. Like everything with Gilbert Gottfried...

 

[trainplane3]

I posted your posts on the previous page. Literally 2 years from the first time 1974 shared it. I thought Tom would be better with getting clicks...

I think that feeling is the quaintness and old world charm of Disneyland. Small walkways, big trees, park benches, it truly is a theme park from the past. That being said, Magic Kingdom is also about to hit 50yrs old. Its no young park either, so while MK doesn't have the Walt presence, we can still get that from some of our oldest attractions. I'm not a hard core attraction saver by any means, however I think its good to keep some of that old world charm/magic from yesteryear available in WDW for future generations to enjoy. If we remove them entirely, what makes it different than any other theme park?

My understanding is Walt didn’t want WDW to be a copy of Disneyland, so my point is more that people who want shows to stay over some connection to the founder of the company are misunderstanding his dreams for the Florida project.

I understand everyone’s feelings of nostalgia. Again, I’d be devastated if HM left. Disney has been removing classics for decades, however. I don’t believer there should be a certain age beyond which an attraction is untouchable.

 

[CJR]

It's not too surprising IMO. I just hope it stays on the East coast and keeps away from DL. At least it's not a return to Under New Management.

Disneyland has a certain charm that is indeed hard to explain, but you definitely feel it once you walk under the bridge and onto Main Street.

Disneyland Parc, surprisingly, has some of that charm as well, or at least it did for me. You'll hopefully understand what I'm talking about next year.

I'll believe any rumor about the Tiki Room once it closes, or once a certain few insiders say something's definitely happening with it.
