It took us THE LONGEST time to finally make out to Trader Sam's, even with annual passes, but we finally were able to make it out here and enjoy the Hawaiian like atmosphere and (surprisingly) strong drinks! We came here and ended up sitting outside where they had live music playing and while the sun was slowly making it's way down to night time where the torches get lit up and really make you feel like you're in Hawaii during your stay at the establishment. We didn't plan on staying too long, considering we wanted to go into the park and do a couple of rides before heading back home, but the drinks and the ambiance made for the perfect combination that we ended up getting two rounds of drinks and another order of fries on top of the burger and fries we shared! You'll be hesitant at first when you see (actually, it'd be hear since they don't have the prices on the menu) the prices of the drinks at first. But remember, you are in a Disney establishment, and that damn mouse really knows that you'll cough up the money for it; AND they actually don't skimp out on the alcohol here! UH-OA! (4/5): The both of us shared the UH-OA! which came in an awesome mug that you can keep for another $2-$3; and with the exception that that by itself cost $18, we were extremely happy with the drink and the presentation it came with before consuming. Fair warning, you won't taste the alcohol too much in this one since they did an amazing job of making it taste very juicy, but the moment you get up to use the bathroom, it'll hit you like a wrecking ball. I'm definitely coming back next time with the intentions of drinking this all to myself! SIDENOTE: If you order this inside the establishment instead of in the outside patio, you'll get the sound effects going off any everything! Piranha Pool (5/5): Don't let this drink fool you... it might look like a harmless girly daiquiri with the pineapple on the side and an accompanying umbrella, but man does this come at you. And the problem is, they make it so delicious and smooth, that you'll want to continuously sip on this bad boy non-stop. We both saw this with a woman in a party right next to us and her drink was gone in a couple minutes! Definitely a go to drink if you want something with strong coconut flavor! Murky Mojito (5/5): You might be thinking "a mojito... what a cliche." But I specifically asked our server what the strongest drink they had on the menu and without me finishing the question, she referred me to this one. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you the first sip I had of this one, I had this thought in my head saying "that is WAYYYY too much alcohol for a family establishment like Disneyland!" It was a bit too strong that I had to wait for the ice to melt a bit so I could actually enjoy it. Well done you guys... well done indeed! Needless to say, Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar will be a go to place for us when we want to relax and feel like we're in Hawaii without the expensive plane ticket and long journey!

We had heard so many great things about this place so we wanted to try it out. We heard it gets busy so we got there right as they opened at 11:30am (check the app). It is located in the Disneyland Hotel area, which you can reach by walking all the way to the back of Downtown Disney area. We went out front and got our name on the walk up wait list in person right before they opened, but you can do it on the app once they open. We only had to wait about 10 minutes or so to be seated. We were brought to the bar inside (you do have to be 21 to sit at the bar itself). To get the full experience I highly recommend you request to sit inside and sit at the bar. It was absolutely the way to go here with the theming and overall experience. We ordered the Mojito, the Tiki rum, the volcano, and the tequila one for drinks. All were good but the volcano and the tiki rum were the best. When certain drinks are ordered anywhere in the restaurant the staff put on crazy effects in the restaurant and its funny to be a part of. You do have to buy into the craziness though to have a good time. For food we ordered the long greens (fried green beans) and the Ramen. The Ramen was amazing and super flavorful and definitely enough to share, just ask for another bowl. Also remember this is an “enchanted” tiki bar so keep an eye out for some interesting “enchanted” things to happen around, especially at the bar. It was so funny. Overall, you are going to pay Disney prices for food and drink here (as well as paying for the atmosphere) so be aware of that up front so you don’t get sticker shock when you get your bill. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely bring anyone else coming with us next time to this bar.

My husband and I are huge disney fans! We've been wanting to come here for SO long! Finally this trip we made it happen! Sadly, this is the first time with ANYTHING disney related that we were disappointed. It was extremely small, but that is okay. The menu was very fun and had 3 non-alcoholic drinks. But the major issue was our server. WOW, I have never had such rude, careless, slow service ever in or even near a disney park. It was baffling, honestly. We were so excited, we sat down, he introduced himself in a mumble and we asked how his day has been and he answers with "terrible". Then proceeds to take our drink order, never come back to take our food order, mind you this place is TINY he walked by many times and we say excuse me and at first we thought he couldnt hesr but it became very obvious we was IGNORING us. Finally, he took our food order and then again with the impossible game of getting our check! Once we had the check, we thought finally we could LEAVE well, no! He LOST OUR CREDIT CARD?! When he brought the black check thing back, we signed the receipt and realized there was no credit card. We asked him, and he literally just said, "What do you mean?" He fumbles around the floor looking and then goes to the back for like 2 minutes and is like "oh I left it back there." No apology, nothing, just a "here ya go. " I really do hope this was a one-time thing for this server. I know disney sets much higher expectations for things. But it RUINED our experience. My husband was heartbroken by the lack of magic and absolute carelessness. He said he doesn't even want to go back to Trader Sams. The food was great, the drinks were good. We ordered 2 non alcoholic drinks and 1 plate to share. It took over 90 minutes to get those few items, and there were like a dozen ppl inside, so it wasn't the best experience.

I was very hungry after travelling all day to attend my work conference at the Disneyland Hotel. The front desk mentioned their only onsite restaurant was Trader Sam's and it might worth checking out instead of heading to downtown Disney. I didn't have a reservation but they were able to get me in to the bar. I think that was lucky because on subsequent days they were booked every time. I'd recommend downloading the Disney app to get a reservation in the future rather than trying blind luck like I did. The bar itself isn't very large but the tiki atmosphere is quite fun. There is so much detail with a plethora of knick nacks on the walls and ceilings that you will likely see something you missed if you stare at the same spot twice. The menu is the same as the outdoor seating/grab and go area. However when you sit in here you feel like you are in a magic tiki island hut, with wonderful AC I might add. Also, during your meal the servers will act/interact with you. Like there was a hurricane and volcano eruption while I was there. One of the servers had a small spray bottle they would squirt into the air as to mimic us getting rained. Definitely some Disney magical fun going on here. The food is tasty and probably the best I had on my stay. Downtown Disney had some good options but I didn't feel they were as fresh or tasty as Trader Sam's. It isn't michelin star quality but good enough I ate here twice. I recommend the Salmon Ahi Bowl. Good sized portion and fairly priced for a resort. Overall it was a fun place to get a bite and take a break from the crazy covid world.

So, my wife and I had just finished a long day at Disneyland for our anniversary. We wanted to get a reservation for Trader Sam's, but it was already booked up, so we decided to take our chances and do a walk-up. We were fortunate and got in about 10 minutes after we walked up. We were seated outside and were happy for that, as the inside bar was loud and crowded. We did not want that for our dinner after a busy park day. Our server came by shortly after we sat down and took out drink orders. We decided to get our requisite waters and my wife got the Piranha Pool, complete with the souvenir mug. Our drinks arrived shortly after and she took our food order at the same time. We decided to get the Kalua-style Pork Nacho Poutine as an appetizer and my wife ordered the Hawaiian Platter for an entree while I got the Poke Bowl with Salmon. The appetizer came out about 10 minutes later and it was amazing! The sweet potato fries were tasty when combined with the pork, cheese, and aioli. Our entrees were on the table in short order and were very well received! My wife's platter had amazing short ribs that paired well with the veggies and rice. My Poke bowl was an impressive size compared to others I have had in the past. The salmon paired well with the toppings and other fillings and it was delicious! Overall, Trader Sam's was a winner. I would even go out on a limb and say it is superior to the one in Florida's Disney World. The food selection is better and they have a more festive atmosphere. We will definitely be back if given the chance!

After decades of coming to Disneyland i have missed out on checking out Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar. This was my first time and it was my birthday! I was expecting easily a 2 hour minimum wait time, But Cast Member/Hostess Stephanie managed to surprise us with a 10 minute wait and got us into the indoor portion of the bar, we were shocked and surprised in a good way! The atmosphere was much more than i expected and the hustle and bustle of ordering specialty drinks made drinking at the bar more fun and interactive. It made me want to buy more drinks just to see what else we could trigger in the interactive bar. The Drinks were solid, exactly what i'd expect in a traditional Tiki Bar. Our server Dana was excellent, and handled our orders and requests promptly to the best of her abilities. She even came over to whisper "Krakatoa is Erupting" to us, because aparently they weren't allowed to put on their normal show due to covid, absolutely awesome for her to do that for us. Stephanie and Dana were power houses and made the experience much more Magical. I will be going back to collect more mugs, i hope they have the Piranha Pool Mug available next time i go back!
