Credit: Disney Disneyland Resort’s beloved Enchanted Tiki Room is in need of some attention, according to a guest who recently shared their observations after visiting the attraction. Despite the attraction’s recent downtime for maintenance, the guest noted several issues still present during their visit, including broken animatronics and out-of-sync effects, leading them to urge Disney to invest more time in refurbishing the iconic show.
Guest Feedback: A Call for Repairs
The Disneyland guest, who took to social media to express their concerns, pointed out that “a few things [were] broken” despite the Tiki Room’s recent closure.
The guest specifically mentioned issues with the animatronics, such as the “wall tikis” being in a “state of permanently winking” and barely moving their mouths. This led the guest to suggest that the attraction’s animatronic figures may need more intensive maintenance.
In addition to the animatronics, the guest observed a malfunction with the enchanted fountain, which was “way out of sync with the bird mobile,” and noted that the lights on the bird mobile were off, further diminishing the experience. The guest also reported a “loud hissing sound throughout the show,” which contributed to the sense that the attraction wasn’t fully operational.
“I love the tiki room and hope that Disney takes some time to do a good refurb,” the guest said in their post. “I’d hate to see it get neglected.”

A Classic Attraction in Need of Love
The Enchanted Tiki Room, one of Disneyland’s original attractions since its opening in 1963, is known for its tropical setting, colorful birds, and catchy musical numbers. The show features an array of animatronics, including the famous singing birds, the flower-filled fountain, and the rotating bird mobile.
However, as with any long-running attraction, maintenance is key to preserving its magic, and the recent guest feedback suggests that the Tiki Room might be showing signs of wear.
With Disneyland Resort’s strong commitment to maintaining high-quality experiences for its guests, the Enchanted Tiki Room’s ongoing issues have raised questions about the park’s maintenance schedule and how frequently attractions are revisited for refurbishment.
Fans of the attraction are hoping that Disney takes the time to give the Tiki Room the care it deserves, ensuring it continues to bring joy to new generations of guests. The Tiki Room just underwent a lengthy refurbishment, which makes these complaints more distressing than ever.
More Refurbishment Needed?
As of now, Disneyland Resort has not made an official statement about any upcoming plans to continue to refurbish the Enchanted Tiki Room. However, fans of the attraction continue to voice their love for the iconic show, with many hoping for repairs that will bring back the magic and charm that have made the Tiki Room a cherished part of Disneyland for decades.
For guests visiting the Enchanted Tiki Room in the coming weeks, it may be a good idea to check the Disneyland app for any updates or maintenance schedules before your visit. As always, guests are encouraged to share their feedback directly with Disneyland Resort to help improve the guest experience.
