Although most people associate Disney with princesses and mice, the company also has a highly developed dialogue with Hawaiian culture and tiki kitsch. This comes as no surprise given that 50's America was Hawaii crazy (Hawaii became a state in 1955)!
Although Adventureland is a more general exotica than authentic French Polynesia, the strong gravitation towards tiki kitsch cannot be missed by even the most casual visitor. These details out side Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room serve as just one example. Enjoy!
