Creator's Key Takeaways

It's one of our favorite places in the world. Actually, I take that back. the original Trader Sam's out in Anaheim at the Disneyland Resort is one of our favorite places on earth.

We love the experience. Seating is a big one. uh the fact that you have your own space, the fact that you're not rushed, and the fact that it's really just a more fun and pleasant environment to be in

Drinks are fantastic here. Not necessarily the recipe. all the recipes fine, but the immersion and the presentation and the show aspect of it just puts it so far over the top.

Don't go for the food. If you're hungry, it's not bad, but I wouldn't go here for the food. Go here for the immersion, the theming, the drinks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get to Trader Sam's early to avoid long wait times.
โœ“If hungry, eat at Captain Cooks while waiting, then go for drinks at Trader Sam's.
โœ“Make an advanced dining reservation for Kona Cafe as a backup if turned away from parking.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Today, we are headed back to the Polynesian Village Resort to the secretive and highly-themed Tiki Bar located just off the lobby down a nondescript hallway...Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. Trader Sam's at Walt Disney World is a second location based on the original at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, which we love. You do not need reservations to visit here, but there is generally a substantial wait to the walk-up list. Is it worth the hype? Let's go find out...Enjoy!
