The Enchanted Tiki Room

Zazu from The Lion King and Iago from Aladdin take over as hosts of The Enchanted Tiki Room. Clyde and Claude, hopefully, found work elsewhere in the park. The reviews weren’t great however, because it was just too similar to the old show.

A tiny attic fire destroyed poor Zazu in January 2011, and a sprinkler system destroyed one of the mechanical goddesses, Uh-Oa. The show was shut down once again, and the board members in charge decided that the redesign would be in the original Tropical Serenade style. “Don’t fix what ain’t broke,” as the saying goes.

‘Stolport’ for Disney Employees And Guests

This one won’t be missed so much, as it pretty much served little purpose to begin with. The STOLport runway, which stands for “short take-off and landing,” had no hangers and could only accommodate four grounded planes at a time. At the very least, travelers were spared the agony of luggage claim.

In 1972, management determined it was prudent to wind down passenger operations, with the company finally closing fully in the 1980s. The landing strip is still in use, however it has been relegated to storage. The landing strip is still visible from the monorail.
