Oh come on. It's WDW Magic Kingdom we're talking about. That thing was born tacky and will always be tacky.

Just look around at the park. Their Fantasyland is a husk of painted flats with no flow, nothing to draw the eye, and a total lack of rides compared to Disneyland's. Where's Casey Jr? Where's the Matterhorn? Where's Monstro the Whale and Storybook? Where's Pinocchio, Toad or Alice? Nonexistent theme and acres of dead space. I far prefer Disneyland's cobblestones and quaint bavarian villiage.

Their Tomorrowland is a joke, a failed theme, possibly grasping at something like Las Vegas.

Liberty Square is the only place where the theming really works. And that's kind of sad.

I grew up going to Disneyland, and when I went to the Magic Kingdom for the first time, I have to admit I really had to recalibrate my enjoyment. It really seemed that the whole park was tacky and overly loud and annoying. Like you took the original Disneyland and turned its design and execution over to Six Flags.

Oh, and their Pirates sucks.

But the Tacky Tacky Tacky Tacky Tacky Room I took as a good joke. It wasn't a bad show, if you know you have the real tiki room to go home to.
