Plaza Pavilion ~ Aladdin's Oasis Enchanted Tiki Room
This miniature sells for $275. The first time audiences were able to sing like the birdies was on June 23, 1963 with a little help from Audio- Animatronics, a WED Enterprise invention. The Tiki Room features a "cast" of over 150 talking, singing and dancing birds, flowers, drummers, totem poles and a magic fountain. When the Tiki Room opened at Disneyland it had a admission charge of .75 because it was then owned by WED Enterprises the rest of Disneyland was owned by Walt Disney Productions. Originally planned to be a restaurant where the birds serenaded guests as they ate. Early plans for the Tiki Room had a coffee station where the "magic fountain" currently is. With the Plaza Pavilion and the Tahitian Terrace in the same building the kitchen would have been shared. From 1993- 1996 Aladdin’s Oasis entertained guests of Adventureland with a restaurant and show. Then in 1997 a storyteller named Kazoo, Aladdin and Jasmine came to Aladdin’s Oasis to tell the story of the movie.
The detail on this miniature is amazing and comes with extra features. The entrance of the Tiki Room is removable to allow viewing of the seating area and fountain inside. With a push of part of the roof the tiki birds descend from the celling . You must see it for yourself.
