Worth the wait to sit inside. Servers are great and helpful. Bartenders are fun and enhance the whole experience. The room reacts to the bartenders. Drinks are well made and good. Food is prepared well. A must when visiting

Sat at the outside bar and received stellar service from the gem of a human Felipe. Very kind and sweet and had great cocktail recommendations! Will return to hopefully be served by Felipe again

Trader Sam's is an experience I recommend every Disneyland visitor to try at least once. I've gone here a handful of times and it's always a great time. Reservations are highly recommended but walk ups can be available depending on how busy they are. Keep in mind that to get a table inside, you will have to wait longer. The staff has always been welcoming, the food has been solid, and the drinks are yummy.

Great food and tiki atmosphere with a lot of energy. Get ready for a lot of volcano eruption announcements and to get a little wet. Only bad thing is that the cocktail pours are pretty light with A LOT of ice.

Best themed restaurant/ bar at Disneyland, and a must for tiki bar lovers. Used waitlist, and table took about an hour. The restaurant has seating inside and outside, but you don’t get to pick where you sit. The experience inside the restaurant is unforgettable- truly a unique and wonderful experience. Plenty of themed cocktails, and unique souvenir glasses available to purchase. Now, if you get sat outside, you still get access to food/beverage, but the service is slower, and the ambiance and nowhere close to the interior. Completely different experience. What we found out on the last day is almost the entire menu was available for purchase at the walk-up restaurant in the back of trader Sam’s- it comes out quicker and it’s the exact same ambiance as the seating is also outside on the same terrace. My opinion is that if you get sat on the outside, skip it and just order the food/drink yourself to save money and time.
