New Permit Points to Behind-the-Scenes Work at Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room
It looks like the birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room might be getting a little behind-the-scenes TLC, because a new Notice of Commencement just perched onto Orange County’s public records. The address on the permit maps right to our beloved Tiki Room in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, and while it’s always tempting to start speculating about major changes, this one has a very specific tell.

The owner on the filing is Facilities Asset Management rather than Walt Disney Imagineering. That alone signals that this is likely infrastructure or facility work, not a retheme or show overhaul. Sorry, Iago — you won’t be returning to “manage” anything this time.
The permit lists PCL Construction as the contractor. PCL is one of Disney’s go-to partners for large-scale, practical refurbishment work across property. Couple that with the generic “General Construction” scope, plus an expiration date running through November 4, 2026, and it strongly suggests the project will be happening quietly behind the scenes rather than dramatically changing the show itself.

And here’s the most reassuring detail for fans: Disney has not announced any downtime for the Enchanted Tiki Room at all. So José, Fritz, Michael, and Pierre should continue crooning as usual while any backstage improvements take place.
As always, we’ll keep our ears open for any updates. Until then, consider this a calm little chirp rather than a storm of Tiki-god thunder.
