What should you know?
This highly themed tiki bar has its own lore built in: It was started by Trader Sam, Adventureland’s famous “head” salesman, who welcomes you to his enchanted South Seas hideaway to explore a menu of “magical tropical drinks and food.” Trader Sam’s is a hit with Disneyphiles, so get there early—there are just 50 seats inside and 80 on the "Tiki Terrace" patio. After 8:00 PM, only guests age 21 and older are admitted.
What’s it like inside?
Off the Polynesian Village’s main lobby, featuring views of the marina and Seven Seas Lagoon. The bar has several show elements that a bartender can activate when various drinks are purchased.
What are the specialties?
Cocktails are the stars, with names like Tahitian Torch and the over-the-top Uh-Oa!—Plantation Original Dark and Bacardi rums mixed with various fruit juices and served in a communal tiki bowl. Souvenir mugs are available with certain drinks.
