Is that a drive-in restaurant in the center of the parking lot?

Here are some more Enchanted Tiki Room concepts from Marc Davis - this time from 1968, during the design for Walt Disney World's Tiki Room:
Florida's pre-show:
Interior show:
Conceptual idea - possibly shooting beams of light out of tiki god's head? Overlay on original Marc Davis sketch from 1963:
Possible show scene from Florida's Jungle Cruise (never installed), 1968:

Tangaroa, all the Marc Davis and Dave Constable illustrations are just amazing ! Thanks for posting all of them. Tikibars, I think that building the the center of the parking lot of the Polynesian was where the restaurant was located, but no mention of a drive-in on the postcard....what a great idea that would have been !

WOW! Mark Davis artwork is always great. Tangaroa, do you have any more artwork from the original Enchanted Tiki Room?
Your friend,

Here is a print of Don The Beachcomber's-International Marketplace-Waikiki. It is from a set of signed prints by Don Davey. The other 3 prints are Nuuanu Pali, Blowhole, and Hawaiian Sunset. They came in a presentation folder with a description of each print.
High in a Banyan tree is "Tree for Two"-a bit of old Polynesia created by an International restauranteur. Providing just the right exotic and sheltered atmosphere for such an enterprise, the Banyon tree is a phenomenon. It begins it's life as a seed dropped from the branches of another tree and as it sprouts it sends it's roots down to the ground. A strange network of trunks and roots begins and this "vegetable octopus" has been known to develop as many as 350 large trunks and over 3000 small ones.

Here's some Polynesian themed art by the remarkable Mrs. Blair - enjoy!

This painting is a surreal landscape by Painter Steve Meikle,Oakland,CA. I bought this and some of his other works from his estate. He died at a young age. Also bought a blow fish that I found on one of his shelves still in the original wrapper. I named it Stevie. Though it doesn't really qualify for this thread, I'd like to think of it as a view of Tiki Heaven.

Some not-so-great artwork for a 1979 advertisement from Alvin's Fashions, in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida.
Compare with a photo of the exterior:
