The popular Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto added another reason for guests to visit. Starting today, guests can purchase an all-new Skipper’s Adventure Mug. Walt Disney World announced, “Calling all travelers! Discover the all-new Skipper’s Adventure Mug designed by artist Mookie Sato docking at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort starting May 28.”

Guests can purchase the Skipper’s Adventure Mug with either of the following:

  • Pair-a-dox Punch: Ford’s Gin, grapefruit and lime juices, coconut cream, passion fruit, mint, and bitters
  • DeNile of Libations: Lyre’s Pink London Non-Alcoholic Spirit, grapefruit and lime juices, coconut cream, and passion fruit.

Both of those beverages appear to be relatively new additions to the Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto menu.

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is a whimsical tiki bar located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Walt Disney World. Inspired by the legendary Trader Sam character from the Jungle Cruise attraction, this intimate lounge immerses guests in a richly themed South Seas atmosphere filled with tropical décor, exotic artifacts, and clever nods to Disney lore.

The menu features a creative selection of cocktails served with flair, many of which trigger entertaining special effects throughout the room. Signature drinks often come in collectible mugs and are presented with dramatic lighting, sound effects, and even animatronic surprises. A small but flavorful menu of Polynesian-inspired bites complements the drink offerings.

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is a location known for its immersive storytelling and interactive experience. Seating is limited inside the grotto, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Still, outdoor seating at the Tiki Terrace offers a more relaxed option, complete with live music and stunning views of the resort’s lagoon.

Whether you’re a Disney fan or a tiki culture enthusiast, Trader Sam’s offers a fun and unforgettable escape. It’s a perfect blend of Disney magic and island vibes, making it a must-visit for adventurous guests.
