I have mentioned in a few other posts that Disney Imagineers and show designers have a huge soft spot in their hearts for tiki and Polynesian pop. Both Trader Sam's are proof of that, Moana, Aulani, and now possibly this too. There's also Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily as well. I'm sure others here can point out more. One more thought -- this design hit me as just a wee bit reminiscent of the old Hawaiian Punch village at SeaWorld San Diego. Could be my mind playing tricks on me, but I'll have to go back and look at old SeaWorld pics and see if there's any real similarity.
