I love this attraction, it's a show and not a ride. This is such a Disney classic! I've been to the one in Orlando and Anaheim multiple times, but there is never a crowd inside either. This ride is equally enjoyable at both parks in FL and CA.
I think the entrance to the Tiki Room is a lot grander in Florida and I like that you have a show to watch while you are waiting for the doors to open.
I mostly come to this because of childhood memories, but I did bring my husband and another guy friend to this attraction for their first visit and they enjoyed it.
The song from the show is catchy and will be in your head. This is a wonderful spot for a break on a hot or rainy day. Plenty of comfy benches that surround the birds, I don't think there is a bad seat in the house.

This ride gave me a classic Disney feel. It had a surprise dark element that was fun and the show didn't run too long, so it didn't take lots of time out of your day. It's actually a nice break...
Read moreMy three daughters love this show. I also love that the songs from it sometimes play on our Pandora "Disney" station. I like the cultural aspect of the 4 main "performers", one each from Spain, England, France, & Germany.
Then there is the cultural relevance of the Polynesian/Hawaiian Tiki-magic. I am not sure how accurate the representation is, but knowing Disney, they probably did their research.
If you've seen the show before, this is also the perfect place for a quick cat-nap if you're looking to escape the oppressive heat of summer, & recharge the batteries before finding another line to wait in. That's also a huge advabtage to this attraction, there's almost never a wait, and if there is,...
