If you are a Tiki fan, you are not alone. After the success of the Broadway musical, South Pacific and a huge MOMA exhibit showcasing Polynesian art and artifacts in the late 1940s (and of course, Hawaii becoming a state), Americans became fascinated with the dreamy allure of luaus, hula dances, tropical beaches and exotic cocktails. Disneyland capitalized on this fun trend by opening the Enchanted Tiki Room as an attraction in 1963.
