Hmmmm Why does it have to be Chimpanzee's? Why not, for instance, low land Gorillas? Gorillas would be more impressive, no?

I think if they were going for impressive, they’d drop the lame backstory.

That's been true for decades. Think of Monkeys, Go Home or The Barefoot Executive.

What better to replace the “racist” Native scenes than with chimps and monkeys. Hmm.

Isn't it obvious theyre prepping the ride for a full makeover to Planet of the Apes? Why buy Fox otherwise?

Poor Trader Sam...his sales were shrinking for years and he just couldn’t stay open with Disneyland closed this long.

So good old Trader Sam is now gone from from the WDW Jungle Cruise. No word on whether this is temporary or permanent...but we all know the answer.

What makes you think the restaurant is named after the character in the Jungle Cruise?

What if they cut the character but skippers just throw in a joke about Trader Sam? They don’t show you Dr. Albert Falls but he is part of the lore, nonetheless. “Today’s cruise is sponsored by our head hunter, Trader Sam. Feel free to stop by Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, where, if you mention today’s cruise, you can take advantage of his 2 for 1 sale! 2 of his heads for one of yours!”

Are you asking if the Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland hotel (opened in 2011) is named after the Trader Sam character from the Jungle Cruise??

Everyone knows it is named after Trader Sam, the used car salesman at ACE Motors on S. Anaheim Blvd.

I presume that it is a temporary absence and that Sam will get the 'Red' treatment at both parks.

Because the depiction was problematic, not the name. Trader Sam's can still be the name of a tropical bar as most of us are familiar with Trader Joe's without ever needing to see what he looks like. There's no reason to change the name of the bar.

Oh I like that guy! He got me a great deal on my used Acura!

I’m asking because several of the people who complained in this thread about “backstories” are now worried about Disney changing the name of the bar at the hotel.

A moment of silence please, in memory of Trader Sam.
Gone, but not forgotten.
We can only hope that he finally got a-head after all these years.....
