You know, it's one of those places at Disneyland that people love or they hate it. And boy, people love to hate it. Like IASW, the song gets stuck in their head and would rather go to the Begle Bar-B-Q and have a skewer stuck through their head. I love it, but because I've been going to it since it first opened, and it's a strong since of history. Not to mention that it was the fore runner to POTC. The success of Mr. Lincoln and IASW (a water ride with large guest capacity) at the worlds fair, and then the extensive use of AA in the Tiki Room spurred Walt into going from a walk -through Pirates Musium to the ride we have today. That's why it is so important to me. Well, that and I love Tikis!!
So Happy Birthday Tiki Room!
