What happens when one of the most recognizable names in the tiki world turns out to be far smaller than most people imagine?
In this episode of Spike's Breezeway Cocktail Hour, I sit down with Joel Tanner, one of the founders of Tikiland Trading, to uncover the real story behind the brand that seems to dominate Instagram feeds and Facebook groups across the tiki community.
Many people assume Tikiland Trading is a massive operation with a large staff and corporate backing. The truth is a lot more surprising. Joel shares how the company got started, how it grew into one of the most recognized names in modern tiki culture, and what it takes to keep the business running behind the scenes.
We also dive into the origins of TikiLand Day, the annual unofficial gathering at Disneyland that has brought together thousands of tiki and Disney fans from around the world for a day of friendship, fashion, collectibles, and Adventureland fun.
If you've ever wondered who is really behind Tikiland Trading, how the brand became such a force in the tiki community, or what goes into organizing one of the largest tiki meetups at Disneyland, this conversation is for you.

In my wildest dreams, this never even occurred to me. When Vacay Dreams reached out to me about potentially hosting a cruise with viewers of Spikes Breezeway Cocktail Hour I was like, I guess? Man, did we have fun! It exceeded all of my expectations and I cant EVEN wait for the next one.
