Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Walt Disney World’s tiki bar, during a September 2023 trip.
Trader Sam’s is famous for its collectible tiki mugs and for the little shows that happen around the bar when certain drinks are ordered. The photos and video show some of the mugs and the bar in action, including a blue skull mug.
It’s one of the most popular bars on Disney property and gets crowded quickly, so arriving around opening time is the best bet for a seat.
