 after many months of anticipation and renovations, the Tropical Hideaway officially opened to the public.  Located between the backside of the Enchanted Tiki Room and the exit of the Jungle Cruise, this new watering hole provides a fantastic place to relax and enjoy some Dole Whip, eat a bao or two, and just take in the jungle.

Once upon a time, this space was Aladdin’s Oasis.  And before that, it was the Tahitian Terrace.  But it’s been largely unused for the past decade or so, and with an expected wave of guests coming next year when Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens, Disneyland can use every inch of capacity it can get!

The new space ties the Tiki Room and jungle together and even leaves a few nods to its former Aladdin-based residence.  It’s beautifully designed, with exotic fixtures, a lovely tent canopy overhead, and a great snack menu.  All in all, Disney has done a fantastic job with this little addition to Adventureland.  With the improvements of shifting Tropical Imports across the street, removing the stroller bottlenecks, expanding indoor seating for the Bengal BBQ, and improving the same Bengal BBQ’s menu, Adventureland has been spruced up quite nicely!
