It\u2019s delightful and imaginative, but let\u2019s be real, we\u2019re there to appreciate the history of it all.<\/p>\n<p>Walt Disney himself helped to design the Enchanted Tiki Room, but in the initial concept it was actually meant to be a restaurant! Walt Disney loved to bring in concepts from his travels, so\u00a0 when the Imagineers brought the concept of a tropical paradise restaurant he was intrigued. Then they dropped the bombshell on Disney, the restaurant would be filled with tropical exotic birds.<\/p>\n<p>Birds?! Walt Disney\u2019s immediate response was that birds will poop on people\u2019s food! This is the birth of an idea. Animatronics.<\/p>\n<p>Classic Disney attractions are known for their audioanimatronics, but have you ever thought about where they started? When creating the Enchanted Tiki Room Imagineers pushed the boundaries of technology. They created a robotic concept that could play music or scripts in a synchronized fashion.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HE-RFILrDzA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Now remember, this is the late 50s and computers are far from commonplace or streamlined. These tiny bird animatronics came with a giant room of computers.<\/p>\n<p>Walt Disney was infamous for perfection and never being satisfied. There was always something to fix, something to improve. When Walt saw the 150 birds singing \u201cThe Tiki Tiki Tiki Room\u201d, he had one thing to say about it\u2026 They\u2019re not breathing.<\/p>\n<p>Imagineers were confused and reminded Walt that they were animatronics, but he says that he wanted guests to sit and wonder whether or not they were real, and to appear real they needed to breathe. Back to the drawing board! The original birds had a chest covered in cashmere to showcase the new robotic \u201cbreathing\u201d element. Who knew that Disney animatronics were so posh?!<\/p>\n<p>The end result is Walt Disney\u2019s Enchanted Tiki Room that opened in 1963 in Disneyland. An identical version was placed in Walt Disney World. Now guests can visit one of the last attractions that not only Walt Disney himself touched, but also where it all started! The Enchanted Tiki Room paved the way for animatronics for Pirates of the Caribbean, \u201cit\u2019s a small world\u201d, and the Carousel of Progress!<\/p>\n\n<p><b>Comments, Questions, be sure to leave them in the Comment Section Below!<\/b><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"milit-131628750\" class=\"milit-after-content milit-entity-placement\"><br>\r\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/4V6YWP2M2DNAU\">Send Steve a Tip<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Chances are you have walked past Walt Disney\u2019s Enchanted Tiki Room and didn\u2019t even know it. &#x1f4cd; Magic Kingdom | Adventureland This unassuming building holding the ancient tiki gods is right in the middle of Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom.
