Sketch: Orange Bird and the Tiki Room

Welcome to the Tropical Hideaway you lucky people you! Imagine watching the Tiki Birds with Orange Bird.

Being Californians we were not familiar with "The Little Orange Bird", but we pretty much fell for him from the moment we saw him! He was developed by Walt Disney Productions as a mascot for the Florida Citrus Commission- the original sponsors of the Magic Kingdom Tiki Room. At Walt Disney World the Tiki Room show was called "Tropical Serenade" from 1972 through the 1990's. The version of the show you will find today is a slightly truncated version of the current Disneyland show and goes by the name "Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room".

We think of  "The Little Orange Bird" as a mascot for our youngest son since he too is an East Coast creation. He's a big fan of the little guy and we dressed him up in a homemade Orange Bird costume for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and in the sketch he can be seen wearing the costume.
