Tikis, Technology & Talking Birds: A Look Inside Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room - Imagine That: Episode 4
Grab a Dole Whip and join Amanda and Kevin for a tropical deep dive into Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room in honor of National Bird Day!
From the roots of mid-century tiki culture and the influence of Donn Beach and Trader Vic’s, to the pioneering use of Audio-Animatronics and the creation of José, Fritz, Michael, and Pierre — we’re exploring the incredible story behind Disney’s first fully air-conditioned attraction.
We’ll uncover how Walt’s mechanical bird gift for Lillian might have sparked an entire revolution in themed entertainment, and how legends Rolly Crump, Marc Davis, Harriet Burns, Blaine Gibson and many more brought it all to life. Plus, we’ll take you behind the scenes of the show's original dining concept, its global counterparts, and yes — the juicy history of the beloved Dole Whip.
Whether you're a longtime fan or learning about the Tiki Room for the first time, this episode is a feast for every Disney history buff and tiki lover.
