Spring has sprung and the weather is warming up! It's the time of
year when people start to think about moving their recreational
activities outdoors, and one of the classics is the luau. A better
term might actually be “Hawaii theme party,” since we mainlanders
don't usually follow all the genuine island traditions, but “luau”
is the accepted term used by all the party supply stores. Luau gear
is in abundance all throughout the spring and summer in the U.S.—all
the leis, tiki torches, and plastic piña
colada glasses molded to look like coconut halves that you could
want.
But this isn't just any party planning guide. This is the Disneyland
Dilettante! And when a Disneyland aficionado gets it into their head
to hold a luau, there's only one place to go...
To the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room!

hideaway for the lucky people you welcome there.
