Head to Disney’s Polynesian Resort to check out this tropical tiki bar. This fan favorite location captures the romance of the South Seas through unique food and drinks. Be sure to arrive early because you’ll probably find a lengthy wait to get in! 

Venture into this hidden hideaway for an enchanting evening packed with fantastic fun and delightful surprises. Explore the whimsically themed lounge filled with ancient artifacts and exotic treasure. Or, set sail for the open-air Tiki Terrace for a relaxing sip or nibble under the starry sky. The Tiki Terrace sells the same drinks as Trader Sams’ Grog Grotto.

Does the name Trader Sam sound familiar? If you’re a long-time Disney fan, it should. Many years ago, Adventureland explorer Trader Sam began bartending. And ever since then, Sam has searched for exotic ingredients to add to fun concoctions.

Previous limited-edition mugs sold here have been some of the most collectible items found at Disney World. In fact, most of them run out very quickly.

Wristband distribution for the new mug begins at 12pm ET daily, but we recommend arriving earlier than that to get a shot of one of these cool items.

To purchase, guests can buy their choice of either the new Manu Aloha or Blame It On The Samba (Non-Alcoholic) beverages. Note that these are while supplies last so go soon if you have your heart set on getting one!

Wristband distribution for the new mug begins at 12pm.

While you wait for the lounge to open at 3:00pm, check out all of the December activities at Disney’s Polynesian HERE.
