I generally drink beer at most bars but couldn't help ordering one of the "fun" drinks so I could get the special Tiki glasses/mugs. I have only 3 in my collection so far...a bit pricey once you pay the upcharge for the glass.
You know you can just order the mugs standalone, right? Also the clear mug they use for the mai tai is a very generic mug created by Lancaster Colony. You can find them just about anywhere from the Polynesian Resort to your local Red Robin. Sam's will use a few mugs either as backups or as the sole mug that are nothing special, nothing original to the bar. :|
there was the entrance like that.. all full of green to a tourist spot and resort area in my town.. it was razed to increase the size of the road.. the place now looks like your generic every day "road to place X with plants".
so know the feeling regarding the removal of green life.
Some of them are generic mugs that you can get elsewhere. Others are Sam's customs like the Rum Barrel.

For me, one of the best things about it *is* how small it is inside. Nice and intimate. I wish I had confidence that TDO will deliver a similar experience at the Poly, should be about the size of Crew's Cup, but... yeah.I generally drink beer at most bars but couldn't help ordering one of the "fun" drinks so I could get the special Tiki glasses/mugs.

It's also great to sit outside when the 2 Hawaiian singers are outside playing.
TDO does not understand scale...I do not think they will get Trader Sam's right...but I sure hope I am wrong!
that songs fits humanity so well."Pave paradise, put up a parking lot."
Aulani looks nice but I'm not that impressed by the grounds. The interior and exterior designs look good. Like a Hawaiian version of Animal Kingdom Lodge.

I don't think Peter Dominick worked on Aulani.I thought the same exact thing when I looked at those photos. Did the same team/person design both places?
I just don't understand the need to remove the water feature. It's been there for about 40 years, why remove it now? I'm going to guess it's because $$$.
Hopefully fan sites like this do have an impact and Disney will reconsider. To really drive the point home, how many of you whose favorite was the Polynesian would now prefer to stay at a different resort? It's too expensive for me in the first place, but if money was no object, the Polynesian was my clear first choice. Now I think it would be the Grand Floridian or Port Orleans Riverside.
Demolishing GCH to give them the space they really need was the way to go but $$$.
