Adventureland was the home of several tikis even before the Enchanted Tiki Room was constructed. This is a view of the hotel which was at the very end of the Bazaar with one of the large tikis. This tiki may have been carved by Eli Hedley as he did own the Island Trade Store in the Bazaar and looks like his work. The Carnation Ice Cream sign in the background is pretty nice.
Does anyone know if that hotel building is still there? I always forget to look during my once-a-year trip to DL, and I've seen a few other old photos of it. I guess I'm so distracted by the crowds of people that I tend to miss the details of Adventureland! The Carnation sign is nice, but why is it there? Seems kind of out of place...
ReplyDeleteI believe the building is still there but has different theming. Also I think there was a Carnation shop selling ice cream in the hotel.
