Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a tiki bar full of enchantment, adventure… and crazy popular souvenir glasses!
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
While many of the specialty cocktails on the menu such as Krakatoa Punch, the Uh-Oa!, and the Polynesian Pearl come in souvenir glasses, the granddaddy of them all is: The Nautilus. And the “glass” is now available in its 2nd edition, according to the @WDWToday Twitter account.

The Nautilus — made to serve two — comes to you filled with Barbancourt Pango Rhum, Appleton Estate Reserve Rum, Combier Crème de Pêche de Vigne Liqueur, Tropical Juices, and Falernum. As with the other drinks served in souvenir glasses, ordering one will set off a chain of special effects around the small room that is the Grog Grotto.

Remember: this one comes with a granddaddy of a price tag, too. Be sure to check the price listing (it should be tucked in the back of your menu) before you imbibe. Otherwise, drink up, me hearties, YO HO! (I know, I know… wrong attraction reference for a bar themed around the Jungle Cruise. But, still… RUM!!)

Do you get to keep this or any of the other glasses they serve drinks in at Trader Sams or do you have to pay for your drink and then pay a seperate fee for the glass?
Brian — You pay a separate fee to take the glass home.
AJ, thanks very much for the info. I can see why Trader Sams is one of your favorite places. Had a great time there in October.
Brian — Glad you could stop in!
Any idea what the differences are between the two? Based on your pictures here, they seem to be exactly the same, with the possible exception of the color of the glaze…
Lee — Usually glaze color is the big difference.
Any idea how much this is? Thanks
Carl, the Nautilus mug is $56. 🙂
