There is just over a week left to purchase tickets to "An Evening at the Tahitian Terrace" dinner event at Disneyland on Oct. 13, 2012. The event is open to anyone who would like to attend, so if you're thinking about joining us, now is the time to sign up, as ticket sales close on Oct. 3.

Disneyland is working hard with us to recreate the look and feel of the original Tahitian Terrace inside of Aladdin's Oasis in Adventureland, which was the original location of the Tahitian Terrace. Disneyland is also re-creating a Polynesian show that will duplicate the original dinner show as closely as possible, complete with dancers, musicians, and special surprises. The exquisite buffet dinner will include menu items specifically selected from three different menus from the Tahitian Terrace's history, and you'll get to take home your replica menu as a souvenir.

After dinner, tiki/Disney artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily will be hosting a conversation with WED Imagineer Rolly Crump, who worked directly with Walt Disney and was responsible for designing many elements of Adventureland and Disneyland park, including all of the tikis in the Tiki Garden outside of the Enchanted Tiki Room, and portions of the Haunted Mansion. Your ticket will also include a frameable letterpress print to take home as a memento of the evening, featuring a Rolly Crump concept design of one of the Disneyland tikis that he created.

Tickets are $259, and are available at http://www.mousetalgiastore.com . Park admission is required and not included, though attendees can purchase twilight tickets from us for admission after 4:00 pm for a reduced price. After well over a year of planning and negotiating, we're excited to present this evening to anyone who wishes to re-live the Tahitian Terrace experience, or enjoy it for the first time. Hope to see some of you there!
