You could not have picked a better person to do a segment about. Ben's work is famous and amazing.

Disneyland’s Tiki Tiki Room is a fond childhood memory for me. I loved it. My dad would take us every year.

I remember those glass floats-for-fishing-nets were everywhere as a kid in 1960’s LA, even my uncles Tikiroom/garage had a bunch; you don’t see many anymore, even as surviving decor. As I am just starting a book about building Disneyland’s Enchanted Tikiroom, this was a nice intro, Thanks.

I look forward to your book. i remember the Disney Show about the Tiki Room and audio-animatronic characters as a child in the '60's, but didn't visit Disneyland until my 40's. I liked the show but but the white "girl" birds seemed to be aging poorly. How often are these units redesigned and renovated?

Just curious: Is the tiki carving for the old Island Trade Stores in Disneyland the SAME carving now at Trader Mort's in San Diego? 🤔

Thanks. Let me clarify that it is not “my” book but a nice new hardcover I have just begun to read from Ken Bruce titled ‘Before The Birds Sang Words’, with a forward from Brad Bird. An extremely detailed account of Tikiroom creation. It already exists! Enjoy.
