Pele Pops Up on a Popcorn Bucket at Disneyland

Posted by The Tiki Chick in Other Tiki Topics and tagged with , , , ,

As you may have noticed, I sometimes tend to have an issue with timeliness when it comes to this blog. Hence, a quick Christmas post from our visit to Disneyland/California Adventure last month.

Apparently, elaborately designed popcorn buckets have been a hit for Disney in Tokyo, so they’ve started making holiday-themed buckets for the stateside parks. (Mr. Hockey is a popcorn fiend so that has given me an excuse to get them…)

And when I went up to take a look at the snowman-style Mickey, i spotted Pele from the Enchanted Tiki Room peeking out from the bucket next to it. More tiki updates from The Happiest Place on Earth to come…

Happy Halloween!

Halloweentime at Disneyland

For not having acknowledged the holiday until the last six or so years, Disneyland does a bang-up job with HalloweenTime. There’s the amazing “Nightmare Before Christmas”-Haunted Mansion mash-up, and this year they added a “Ghost Galaxy” element to Space Mountain.

Also new were special Halloween-themed fireworks which featured Disney villains and “Nightmare.” Zero the dog flew across the sky!

Enchanted Tiki Room pumpkins

But my favorite part are the creative carved pumpkins they have decorated in Frontier Land. Gotta love these Enchanted Tiki Room pumpkins! More festive gourds after the jump…

Agrabah Bazaar at the Enchanted Tiki Room, Orlando

Agrabah Bazaar

The Agrabah Bazaar next to Disney World’s Enchanted Tiki Room houses all the tiki-related merch and is also a good place to loiter during impromptu Florida rainstorms.

Enchanted Tiki Room baseball cap

Of course, twenty minutes later the sun is blazing down so I was able to justify this Pele hat purchase as a necessary travel expense. Could this baseball cap be considered another convergence of tiki and America’s pastime?

Most of these items made their way west over the summer to the Adventureland Bazaar at Disneyland’s Enchanted Tiki Room, but this was the first time that I’d spotted them.

Enchanted Tiki Room magnets

The store was stocked with the above hats, shirts and magnets, but they also had this cartoon tiki logo on hurricane and shot glasses. Anybody else find it odd that Disney sells shot glasses? Anyway…

Magic Carpet Ride at Disney World

I thought the Magic Carpet ride adjacent to the store was very neat—a golden camel spits at you! The movie “Aladdin” gets big billing in Disney World’s Adventureland, as you can see from this ride, Agrabah Bazaar and Iago’s unwelcome presence in the Enchanted Tiki Room. Gotta take the bad with the good, I guess.
