Tuesday Trivia - The Enchanted Tiki Room

Did you know that the original concept for The Enchanted Tiki Room was to include a restaurant?  As originally conceived, the audio-animatronic performers would entertain guests in Disneyland's Adventureland following a nice meal in an tropically themed restaurant.  Due to limited capacity and the desire to maximize the use of the beautiful birds, Walt and his imagineers decided it would be best to drop the dinner portion, and simply expand the performance into a full-fledged show featuring the feathered performers.  The first performance was given in 1963, and the show continues to delight guests of all ages at Walt Disney's original Magic Kingdom, nearly 50 years later.
