We had soft openings today RIGHT after we finished our training. Talk about a little nervous at first but I calmed down and was able to be inside for the 6th or 7th show and it was AMAZING! I never felt so proud to be a part of an attraction before. Yes I loved working for Pirates and that was a dream come true but the Tiki Room is truly a Walt Disney Classic. I smiled, cried and laughed when I first saw the show (without guests) and smiled even more once I introduced it to live guests for the first time. VERY excited for the grand re-opening tomorrow.

Video of the main show. I won't watch it as I'd like to see it first in person. So is this the original or just close to it?

We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

It looks like the same show as DLR. If it wasn't such a long time in between I would swear it was a coke vs. new coke ploy where the goal was to use "bad new hotness" to trick you into wanting "old and busted".

It's the same as the DLR one besides a few short edits so i think it's about a minute shorter than the DLR one.

On the WDWMagic link posted above, that is ME introducing the show and telling Jose to wake up and to not call me Senorita!

How exciting! I want to wait and see it for myself in person, so I will let the suspense build!

Awesome! Good for you! I've seen the video of the show, and I'm eager to check it out in person. It would be so cool to be there on opening day!

The clarity of the audio in that video clip sounds amazing! Looks like they did a great job restoring the original!

I was the first one to introduce the first official show yesterday! Above is the link from the first show :-) Something I will never forget!

Without even seeing it, I find myself content about the opening knowing that at least Iago and Zazu are gone and the original tropical serenade has returned...
