At Trader Sam's right about now!

[Communicore]

That's right! Communicore is having a drink at Trader Sam's right now, and it's an awesome place. I didn't go when I was last here in November and now I'm having the big fun here. I also explored the hotels and their amazing in every sense of the word! The Disneyland hotel is so historic, even though it has been renovated I feel like I'm in the 60's! Unfortunately no wifi here at Trader Sam's but it's a great atmosphere! No theme parks for me this time.

I love Trader Sam's as well. The hotels are great, too. Have a good time!

So what drink did you choose to sample?

Zombie Head?
Hippopota-mai tai..?

 

[LuLaSue]

Yummy Zombie Head!
We stopped here the night of our arrival. We had a snack and a sip and were off to bed at the Disneyland Hotel! Great choices here! ENJOY!

Plenty of off-menu drinks especially depending on who is your bartender. Can't go wrong w/a Navy Grog, such a classic.

FYI that's the Krakatoa Punch you're thinking of. Smooth finish from the orgeat syrup.

That's it! It also "sets off" the volcano when you order it

Is there a list of the drinks that will "trigger" the various effects?

No idea. Only been there once. @raven24 ? @kkocka ?

 

[Californian Elitist]

I bet there is a list on the Internet, somewhere. I'll see if I can find one, when I get the chance.

Eh, I hate blatantly giving them away, but I'll do it here. When the place first opened up it was pretty empty, just my wife and I and maybe another couple. We had usual rum and cokes, then she started ordering off the menu, and got a Shipwreck on the Rocks. After that, we ordered every single drink on the menu and left tanked after 3 hours, but damn if we didn't see every one.

There's only three drinks that give an extra show, the Krakatoa Punch, Shipwreck on the Rocks, and Uh Oa! Everything else is standard w/o an extra zing, but regardless the drinks are well mixed and delicious.

 

[Communicore]

Sorry for the way late response, but I had a Bud Light. LOL!

 

[kkocka]

Get out.

Finally stopped in here during our recent first time to Disneyland visit. It was everything I hoped it would be. Drinks were amazing, effects were fun and our souvenir cups look great. The bartender we had was a true pro as well.

Went to TS last week. Loved it! The drinks were delicious and it was a really great atmosphere!

They need more indoor space, huh? We needed the table for 6 but inside was all 4 or less...and packed full!

Yes, definitely more indoor space! I was quite shocked at how little indoor space was there when I went in to use the bathroom. The lack of indoor seating would definitely prove difficult on colder days with rainy weather!

Fortunately we don't have a lot of cold rainy days here in California. Although I say this as we're in the middle of the worst drought in history. Anyway the size is a point of many discussions - personally i think it could use maybe just a few extra seats. Remember that its meant to be a hotel bar, not a standalone joint. Sam's is also something, that if you're a regular like me, you figure out the good and bad times to go - its like anything else in the park, or the parks themselves. Don't go during busy seasons, middle of the day during the weekends, etc. Opening and potentially closing times are the best, in my opinion. I've been fortunate to have the bar to myself for hours on several occasions.
