Enchanted Tiki Room/Tropical Serenade Questions

[Duckzz]

I've been reviewing several old videos of Tropical Serenade and I've noticed some strange quirks that aren't seen in Disneyland's show and I was wondering if there is anybody who could help me out.

Could you be just a tad more specific? What quirks?

 

[Duckzz]

Sure.In the "Tiki Tiki Tiki Room Song" Michael sang the line "And the flowers croon" as well as the lyrics about the macaws and toucans while at Disneyland it's always been Pierre.Second,in "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing" Pierre and Jose both did the Bing Crosby and Maurice Chevalier voices and Michael and Fritz did Louis Armstrong.At Disneyland it's always been Jose=Bing Crosby,Fritz=Louis Armstrong,and Pierre=Maurice Chevalier.

I'm fairly certain that the show's audio is produced from identical tracks. I've not viewed the videos in question however.

It had nothing to do with the audio,it was the programming of the birds.

The audio vocals needed to match the birds though yes? Jose doing different impressions would need a different audio track.

When I was researching my article, I found this D23 article very helpful:

From that article (focused on Disneyland's version)

In addition to the unforgettably catchy theme song by the Sherman Brothers, the Tiki Roomshow incorporates other tunes for the guests to warble like nightingales. José jokingly describes “Let’s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing” as “our national anthem.” During the performance of this singalong standard, Fritz imitates Louis Armstrong, José croons in the style of Bing Crosby (the Crosby-esque boo-boo-booing was performed by famed Hollywood voice-double Bill Lee, who sang “Cruella De Vil” in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, 1961) and Pierre musically mimics Maurice Chevalier.

The very few mentions I can find online say that the DL and WDW versions are identical aside from preshow.
I'm just trying to look for references to show differences to help; again, I've not looked for videos (yet).

I hate to always call on him for answers, but the only person I can think of that could confirm if the animatronic programs are identical would be @marni1971. I need to get me some other sources so I can stop bugging him

Thanks for all the help.The biggest surprise was I thought it would be more similar to the Disneyland version of the show.

When it comes to the show itself, Disneyland's still has the cool water-column fountain thing in the middle.

Disney World's was permanently removed during the dark times.

Disneyland also has the better preshow, what with the garden of the gods and all, not to mention the fact that you can buy dole whips and things while waiting to enter.

At least neither has Stitch. Yet.

You know I don't know and have never noticed! Is this the original WDW version, the newer one or both?
