Anyone know who the voice of the guy is who says, "...and now, ladies and gentlemen, come with us, to a land of joyous songs, and wondrous miracles...Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room (gong...)....

Hmm, interesting. Now I really want to know the answer, even though I never thought of it before! LOL I can't seem to find it in Dave Smith's Disney A to Z, or my Tiki Room album, or Google. I'll keep poking around...let me know if you ever find out. :)

I realized I also don't know who voices the tiki gods and goddesses in the forecourt. These annonymous people have become such a part of my great memories of Disneyland, I guess I want to put a name to them all!

I know that Thurl Ravenscroft is the voice of Tangaroa.

The voice sounds a lot like Benson Fong, the character actor who played Mr. Wu in "The Love Bug."

I think Eleanor Audley (Madame Leota) voices Pele...

For some reason I'm thinking Wally Boag did Rongo? But I'm not sure...

You are all awesome! I love that there are other people out there who think about the Tiki Room courtyard voices. Makes me feel less alone in my Disneyland craziness! :D

Alooo-ha! :)

...but I just found out some answers, and wanted to share!

I wrote to the very nice Dave Smith asking about the pre-show voices, and here are the names he gave me:

Rongo, the male voice that does the Garden wrap-up, is Ernie Traveras. Tangaroa-Ru (The Wind) is Ginny Tyler.
Hinna Kuluua (The Rain) is Ann Bazam.
