[Question] Lipsyncing Tiki Room Queue Maui Speech

[tablesetter]

So, Last Friday was the first time I had ever been to the Tiki Room. While Maui was speaking, some dude was lip syncing and rolling his eyes back in his head when the gong sounded. Weird dude obv cuz he wasn't a CM. Is this standard?

I've never seen anyone do that; that's wierd. Out of the norm for sure.

That's Jim. You can find him outside the Tiki Room every third Friday and every other Wednesday. He really likes Maui.

Someone might want to let Jim know that girls his age aren't really into this act. He was super into it. He almost made the "O Face" during the gongs. Creepy.

I don't know. Jim does pretty well with the ladies.

Re: Lipsyncing Tiki Room Queue Maui Speech

Wow! I'm glad someone else finally made a post about this (and I can't believe I forgot).
I saw last month for the first time and I was dying.

I managed to get a short video right at the end... I was going to go back and record his whole "show" but forgot.


I have a friend who works Tiki and he says they get complaints about him all day, but there's nothing Disney can do because he's technically not doing anything wrong.

Not the greatest of quality for some reason.

No freaking way...this guy's name really is Jim? I just threw that out there, being a smart apple. I've never seen, nor heard of this guy until now...and his name really is Jim?!?! I'm stunned. And a little scared of what this means. My psychic powers must be manifesting, finally! :lmao:

Hahahaha. Honestly I just saw everyone say "Jim" and assumed that you all knew him or something so I threw his name in the title.
I just posted that video 5 minutes ago so you could all see it haha.
Wow. I'll see if I can change the title of the video. :lol:

In August I saw a guy lipsync the whole show. He even had a little sit-down dance routine going on, kind've like an interpretive dance thing. His purpose might have been to give the people in his group a good laugh but his performance was spot-on accurate, i mean impressively accurate. I would go as far as to assume that this guy was an off-duty Jungle Skipper/Tiki CM based on his age, the age of the people with him, and by his knowingness of the show. By the end of the show about a quarter of the room was watching him instead of the show and even applauded him.

But the real question here is...is his name really Jim?

That's hilarious. But kinda creepy. I love the reactions of the people around him.

Some people are just too into Disneyland....

Re: Lipsyncing Tiki Room Queue Maui Speech

I actually admire that he has the guts to get up on the podium (of sorts) and do this in front of people. I only had this much brass to do stuff like this when I was a CM and had my badge and work costume on.

No. Such. Thing.

I think it's kind of cool to see someone who is so into the Disney magic. It obviously brings him great joy, and looks like it might be brightening the day of those around him, too.

Agreed, I would rather see 100 more of these kids than the ones that come to the park to have makeout and groping sessions.

Re: Lipsyncing Tiki Room Queue Maui Speech

Yes, this guy is way into Disney. Yes, being way into Disney is Awesome by definition.
However, this guy is pretty odd... and actually kinda creepy.
I'm sorry but this is nothing more than hilarious to me. And I'm laughing at this guy, not with him. He was completely serious.

But I will reiterate that his love for Disney is definitely true.

Although if he does live in the close vicinity of Disneyland and goes there all the time... I guess you've gotta find some way to entertain yourself. (And others for that matter).
