Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and its attached companion restrooms are now closed for refurbishment in Adventureland at Disneyland Park along with other construction projects in the land.
Tiki Room Refurbishment
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room is now closed and behind wooden fencing-like walls for an extended refurbishment.
Yellow signs are attached to the fencing that read “Our Tiki Birds Have Flown the Coop! Come back later and join us for another chorus!” The signs have pink tropical flowers surrounding the text.
Located at the exit of the attraction is a companion restroom that is also closed for refurbishment. Another sign alerts guests to this closure with locations of other companion restrooms that are still available for use at Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree and Tomorrowland Station.
The nearby Tiki Juice Bar is still open, with a small pathway leading to the snack stand which serves DOLE Whip.
More walls and scrim are also up around the Enchanted Tiki Garden and upper patio area. We recently reported that the Tangaroa Tree standing outside the Enchanted Tiki Room would be completely rebuilt during an extended refurbishment of the attraction. It appears that the tree has been dismantled.
The Tangaroa Tree is an animatronic tree standing off to the side of the building that houses Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. The Tangaroa Tree was added in 1963 when the Enchanted Tiki Room first opened to guests, and the tree has never been removed since this time. Despite its iconic nature, the Tangaroa Tree has not functioned for several years. The tree has already been scanned at a high resolution, so Disney will be able to rebuild the tree as closely to the original as possible.
Adventureland Fountain Construction
Across the way, work is being done on a fountain located outside the Adventureland restrooms. Themed-signs pointing to the restrooms and guiding guests around the construction are posted to the walls.
In the summer of 2023, a pipe burst creating the need to remove the fountain. This area has been behind walls since the removal. However, the first visible work since the incident can now be seen behind the fencing-like wall. We do not know if Disney is adding a new fountain or simply updating the facade in order to remove the walls in time for the upcoming 70th Celebration.
Disneyland Park has recently been refurbishing several classic attractions in preparation for the Disneyland 70th anniversary celebrations. “it’s a small world” has closed for another lengthy refurbishment and is expected to reopen on July 17, which is also when the attraction will debut a new verse of the ride’s classic song as a tribute to the late Sherman Brothers. July 17 is also when Disneyland Park will debut the show “Walt Disney – A Magical Life,” featuring the first Walt Disney animatronic figure.
