Daily Photo Tour - The Smile That Comes Out Mad


I always crack up at the Enchanted Tiki Room pre-show. The Tikis mostly all have humorous introductions but I think my favorite is Pele's. Her voice is so intense when she explains how she's so sad that her smile comes out mad. Texting translation - >:(

Notice how the bromeliad flowers around Pele are all red, the color synonymous with anger... and fire... and lava...? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the bright folks at Disney did that intentionally, which is awesome. Interesting anecdotal note - pineapples are a member of the bromeliad family and the only one to produce edible fruit. Dole whip sure sounds good on a warm night like tonight.

Daily Photo Tour - Enchanted Tiki


I wish Adventureland was bigger. I wish that there was some new attraction opening here next year that I could look forward to. I wish there was more room to expand Adventureland. Hey, I can wish can't I? And why you ask? Why the infatuation with Adventureland? Maybe its the color green that I love. Or the fact that Adventureland contains two of Walt Disney's original Disneyland attractions, and one of the most dynamic dark rides ever created (Insert: Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, here). Whatever it is, I love it. And like any normal human being, when I love something, I want more of it. More Adventureland please!
