Anyway on to the Enchanted Tiki Room. So did you know?…

1. That the ETR was originally supposed to be a restaurant?… I didn't.

2. That the ETR was the first air-conditioned attraction at D-Land?… Not me.

3. That when the corporate Disney heads wanted to turn the ETR into a "Lion King" attraction, the contracted imagineers threw a monkey wrench into that "bright" idea by designing something that was deemed unfeasible?… Nope.

4. That Disney realized what a cash cow they had during the ETR's 45th Anniversary when unanticipated crowds stormed the park to purchase the expensive commemorative swag?… News to me.

5. That the ETR is the most awesome historical Tiki time machine experience up there with the Mai Kai and Hala Kahiki?… Yes, it's TRUE !!

Thanks Tangaroa-Ru, the "Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" song has filled the emptiness of my soul and made me a better Tiki citizen !! :)

I wanna go back. Can someone spot me a C-Note ?? :D

EDITED - Thanks BTD !!
