    The Enchanted Tiki Room Will Reopen This Summer

    Disney recently announced that its Magic Kingdom attraction, the Enchanted Tiki Room, will reopen sometime this summer after a facelift. Shut down in January due to a fire, the latest version of this classic is said to be "reminiscent of the original show" called Tropical Serenade.

    This will be at least the second revamping of the attraction. In 1998, the show added "Now Under New Management" to its name and included appearances by Iago from "Aladdin" and Zuzu from "The Lion King."

    We'll keep you posted on specific dates for this fan favorite's reopening as we get them.
