EnchantedTikiGoth - My wife and I grew up in SoCal and have been obsessed with Disneyland since about forever I think. My 'tiki' aesthetic is far more Disneyland and 30's pulp than straight post tiki-bob tiki. We love foliage and the feeling of being encroached in a comforting way of hanging vines and overgrowth, like the underside of a willow or a secret grotto.

Same! Disneyland was my introduction to Tiki, and my own preferred Tiki aesthetic is the more generalize Adventureland aesthetic of the Enchanted Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse, and the Jungle Cruise, though I do have a pretty healthy love for 1930's Pri-Tiki. King Kong and Honolulu are two of my favourite movies :) One of the things I love most about the Adventureland aesthetic is the lush foliage and ultra-colourful flowers (especially if those flowers sing!).
