One, the pre-show just isn't very good. And NO seating - really? Walt Disney World is huge, it's punishingly hot/humid outside...and there is NOWHERE to sit while you wait for the previous show to end. Big minus.
Two, the Florida tiki room was built on a MUCH larger scale than the original to handle crowds. It's just TOO big (I've been to WDW three times and never saw more than 10-15 other guests in the ETR at the same time as myself). The California version has the same intimate feel as the perfect tiki bar.
That said, the show is good, and at least they got rid of that ill-advised "update".
The initial act of the Tiki Room in Disneyland is getting a Dole Whip. At Magic Kingdom it was the Citrus Swirl (at least when we went in 2014... Now that they serve Dole Whips beside the Tiki Room instead, this may have changed). The Citrus Swirl itself is a great treat, but unlike Disneyland you barred from eating it inside. You have to scarf it down during the preshow.
That preshow is not a charming little lanai where Tiki gods recite rhymes. It's an amphitheatre directed to two birds whose story is cute and all, but not nearly as cool and fun as the Tiki gods. You then deposit your Citrus Swirl dish into the garbage and enter the Tiki Room itself...
Though has more floor space and seating, it feels smaller than the Disneyland one because of a lower roof. The show itself is almost the same, but its cut in a few odd places. For example, after singing about how we should all sing like the birdies sing, they don't give you the chance! The song cuts just before the sing-a-long portion!
It's still good... We still saw the show many times (doubling time between that and the Country Bear Jamboree), but it was just... less... than the original.
