Thanks for the link, WonderlandFever. According to the various YouTube vids I've seen, most of the songs have indeed been edited.
"In The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" is missing the last verse (about the "lady's hat") but on the bright side, the current Disneyland version is missing this verse, as well.
"Barcarolle" by Offenbach is completely missing, as it is in the current DL version.
The saddest cut for me is "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing" which trims approximately the final 1:30, including the sing-along and whistling section, which are intact at DL.
"Hawaiian War Chant" trims about 25 seconds from the end of the first verse (the first lines sung by the male vocals after the female vocals begin the song). This alters the melody of the first verse, but luckily this lost melodic line is repeated in the second verse.
The second, more rhythmic part of "Hawaiian War Chant" appears to be intact, as does "Aloha To You" and the "Heigh Ho" exit song.
In all, the show has been shortened by approximately 2 minutes compared to the current Disneyland version (which itself is basically the full show minus Offenbach and a few small trims).
While I would have preferred the WDW version to have retained at least the same content as the current DL version, I am ecstatic that the beloved original classic is back, and look forward to seeing it MANY times the next time I'm in Florida this winter!
I also applaud the return of the original WDW preshow, which is less argumentative and less cynically "showbiz" than the UNM preshow.
I commend "TDO" for bringing back this classic, although it did take a fire to make it happen! Thankfully no guests or Cast Members were hurt in the fire.
It sure is swell to hear the classic Tiki Room theme song once again without obnoxious Iago interupting it right at the beginning!
Here is a video of the WDW preshow and the mainshow shot Sunday during the soft opening. There's a lot of great videos already available online, but I picked this one because it is the only one I've seen so far that include the "Heigh Ho" exit song in its entirety:
