    Trader Sam's Closed for Refurbishment - Does That Mean The CM's Too?

    In that case, get on over and request a Lapu Lapu. Orange + Lemon + Passion Fruit goodness! Often my go-to off menu drink if I want something a little sweeter, but by no means as sweet as most of the menu drinks.

    Trader Sam's Closed for Refurbishment - Does That Mean The CM's Too?

    They do, though it's the legit and original recipe. Far superior than what Tambu Lounge offers, which is namesake only. The Lapu Lapu is one of the standard off menu drinks at Sam's along with Navy Grog and a slew of other solid cocktails. Take a step toward what the bartenders can offer or make...

    Recipe???

    I've contributed on that Tiki Central thread because I was once obsessed w/Sam's cocktails - now that I know there's better stuff out there, I've mostly backed away or done my own tribute recipe variations. I have a Krakatoa Punch riff that I make which calls for Gorilla Grog, though split up...

    Trader Sam's Closed for Refurbishment - Does That Mean The CM's Too?

    There's never been a formal lobby bar at the Disneyland Hotel - prior to Sam's was still Lost Bar, which while being the hotel bar was still out near the pool. The Lounge at Steakhouse 55 is a prime opportunity for an upgrade both in service hours (only open during dining hours) and cocktail...

    Trader Sam's Closed for Refurbishment - Does That Mean The CM's Too?

    There is zero expansion going on for this Sam's refurb. It's only 10 days. There's just some behind-the-bar work going on that I'm told is much needed. This isn't the refurb as mentioned above by @SSG either. The "big refurb" still doesn't include expanding the interior of the bar thankfully...

    HAUNTED TIKI MUG

    As stated by Disney Parks Blog and other social media sites, UPDATE 9/13/16: Due to overwhelming popularity, the Hitchhiking Ghost Tiki Mugs have sold out at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. A limited restock will materialize closer to Halloween. As stated above, no. Cast Members don't get...

    HAUNTED TIKI MUG

    No way, not even next day quick. People had months prepare and spread the hype, take a day off work, etc. There's no way that would have been matched overnight when guests would have had to go inside like any other mug release in the past. That's why the Jack mugs and diamond mugs took longer to...

    HAUNTED TIKI MUG

    The problem of all this is that a cast member leaked a backstage flyer a few months ago and the photo was retweeted, regrammed, shared, etc etc thousands of times since between Disney, tiki, and haunted mansion communities. On that photo were various order numbers, codes, dates, and number of...

    HAUNTED TIKI MUG

    There's easily 30+ people in line at Sam's already. I'm more bummed about not getting a seat at the bar than I am the mug. I wouldn't worry about the availability of the mug as it's likely to be here for the majority of Halloweentime

    Sword in the stone

    Yeah that breaks my heart that it's not continued still. Just another fan favorite film to get pushed out of our memories.

    House of Blues leaving DTD Anaheim?

    Yeah you definitely need your walker. I don't mind the venue being there, and have even seen two shows there, but it is sorta odd, not to mention HOB isn't a favorite venue at all. The worst thing is that when you leave a show and feel like knocking back a few drinks or getting some food...

    It's RAINING at Disneyland

    This. Anyway yeah it went from sweltering heat and sun to mildly warm and overcast just in time for me to duck out and catch the USWNT game. A few lightning strikes later and all the hotel pools were evacuated and I found myself inside Trader Sam's. :)

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    Would be too large. Service is managable now, although I feel the inside bar is still shorthanded a bit and that's including the fact that one is almost exclusively making drinks for the rest of the room. Even though Enchanted Tiki Bar is a success in CA, how this bar will play out in FL is...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    The new mugs (original to Grog Grotto that is) went out while I was there - so no rum flight mugs nor mai tai glasses. The Nautilus wasn't and isn't for sale still. Plenty of Polynesian Pearls though! I don't know about the current zombie, Uh Oa, and Krakatoa mugs but they're all from The...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    On the bottom where it belongs. The awful pearl, and the rum flights, are the only ones w/visible branding. The mai tai's print rubs off so I'm not counting that. This damn zombie, though...I'm struggling whether or not I want a 4th zombie (original blue, mahaloween beige/blue, current...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    As I've only been to Animal Kingdom once, and am not a Florida local, I can't speak to Dawa Bar. The only thing I could possibly say is that the parks get more of a premium, detailed, experience in everything rather than a hotel's bar patio. Much more traffic etc at the parks vs one hotel. Yes...
