  You go for the atmosphere and the fun but the drinks were on point. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the drinks were. My sons loved when someone ordered the pearl drink. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.

  Fun cheesy tiki bar tucked into the main building of the hotel. The menu has a good mix of drinks with tons of super themed elements. The drinks are great but let’s be honest, you really come here for the theming. It’s a well done tiki bar with extra touches of animatronic elements, animations, and immersive details. Some drinks also come with theatrical deliveries which is so fun. Showed up without a reservation on a Saturday and waited about an hour for a seat. Apparently that’s not bad for a lot of the waits people usually get. They text you when your table is ready, so you can wander the hotel until it’s time. Like other Disney bars, smaller groups will be sat at tables with strangers. Everyone is focused on enjoying the overall vibe of the place, so it’s easy to chat with the folks you’re seated by. If you want to avoid that, consider being a group of at least 4.

  The best themed bar on Disney property. The bartenders are super fun and you can tell they love what they do! The decor and lighting is on point! The drinks were amazing! Not as much alcohol as some other places but they were still delicious. We can’t wait to go back!

  This was my third visit to Trader Sam's - and my second time introducing a new person to this fantastic experience! The atmosphere and bar staff are incredible - personable, fun and talented - and the drinks are delicious. My Hippopoto-Mai-Tai came with a form explaining my "HIPPO rights", and the bartender - noticing my photographing my drink - set it up to be the best photo op possible! Loved the Kalua Pork Tacos too. Can't wait to go back!

  Trader Sam's was great for our family of five. We joined the wait list and had a table ready in about 25 minutes. The atmosphere and drinks were a lot of fun. Our server was great and made our experience enjoyable. I would recommend the pork wings appetizer. Go around lunch hours for a shorter wait. We will return here again in the future.
