Tropical tiki bar with interactive shows and creative cocktails
"On the far side of Downtown Disney sits the perpetually dated Disneyland Hotel and its faint attempt to hold on to whatever allure Anaheim might’ve had in the 1950s (hint: it was orange groves). But one gem remains on the premises: Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. The kitschy, overpriced, and nonetheless legendary pool bar is a must-visit, if only to drink the thunderstorm-inducing Uh Oa! cocktail. It’s the rum-filled fishbowl you’ve been wanting since getting lost for 45 minutes inside the Mickey & Friends parking garage earlier this morning. Ooooooooooo-ga!" - brant cox

"No one’s technically coming to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar for the food, but these crispy crunchy bites are the perfect complement to a couple rounds of Hippopoto mai tais or Krakatoa Punch. Not thirsty? Find them a la carte at Tangaroa Terrace next door." - Carlye Wisel

"A lively tiki bar near the hotels and pool area known for whimsical tiki cocktails with Disney twists, small plates such as panko-crusted long beans, poke and ramen, and an adult-only indoor policy after 8 p.m.; it serves as a convenient spot for an afternoon break or post-park drink, with tropical treats nearby." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.
