Thanks to everyone who has posted such great images. I had the absolute pleasure of working there as a hostess from 1985-1987, and have such fond memories... I loved standing out in front of the restaurant and answering questions, even if I repeated myself thousands of times "5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 7:15, 8:30 and 9:45"."The fresh fish of the day is Baked Mahi Mahi, and Grilled Ahi"."The nearest restroom? It's, er, over there behind that tree" :) To be standing out there, listening to the guys finish their Jungle Cruise spiels, as well as the "Hi-ho, Hi-ho" coming from the exit door of the Tiki Room, and the sounds of Fantasy in the Sky... I always thought to myself, man, I'm getting paid for this? I never got tired of the "South Sea Island Magic" theme, hearing the singing, catching glimpses of the performers (was mostly too busy to watch) or hearing the servers yell out "Pele, I need a Pele!!". I wish I had taken some photos! I remember a coworker filming the show one day.. oh if I could only see that now...

Thanks for sharing the great items and stories... it brings it all back to me, as if it wasn't so long ago. What a great place - I was definitely sad to see it replaced!
