Disney collectors are SERIOUS about the items they collect.
Disney fans collect everything from popcorn buckets (we still can’t get over the Figment Popcorn Bucket chaos of 2022) to Loungefly bags (some designs sell out in MINUTES) to limited edition pins, Minnie ears, and more! One of the most SOUGHT-after Disney collectibles, though, are the Tiki Mugs from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World. Among these tiki mugs, though, seven of them are SO memorable we had to write about them!
Haunted Mansion Gargoyle Tiki Mug
The gargoyles in the Haunted Mansion are ICONIC, so we had to talk about the Haunted Mansion Gargoyle Tiki Mug released in 2023 in Disney World. We had to stand in a MASSIVE line to get our hands on one of these babies, which resembles the gargoyle candelabra you’d find in the Haunted Mansion with a Tiki twist.
Now, this mug is a little delicate, so we don’t break it out to use often. No, this is one you show off in a display case with the rest of your Tiki mug collection. It’s special! (And valuable…)

Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug
As you can imagine, Haunted Mansion Tiki Mugs are hot ticket items, and caused some of the longest lines we’ve seen at Trader Sam’s. The Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug was originally released in Disneyland and Disney World in 2018, but another version turned up in Disneyland ahead of the Haunted Mansion movie premiere in 2023.
Hatbox Ghost is so popular now that he can be seen in both Disneyland and Disney World, so this tiki mug was a HOT commodity every time it was released.

Jose Tiki Mug
Welcome to Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room! Who doesn’t love a tiki mug inspired by a singing bird in the TIKI Room? The Jose Tiki Mug was released last year, and this is the mug for fans of The Enchanted Tiki Room (we bet the song is looping through your brain RIGHT NOW).
This mug was released to celebrate the Tiki Room’s 60th anniversary, although there have been previous Jose tiki mugs in the past, too. You can’t put a good bird down!

Monstro Tiki Mug
Okay, when we say Disney villains, you probably don’t even THINK of the whale in Pinocchio, but you should! This man-eating whale was terrifying in the movie, but oh, did he make a cute Tiki Mug. The Monstro Tiki Mug is another mug we had to wait in a long line for because it’s rare to get him on ANY merchandise.
We got Monstro in Disney World, although a similar mug quickly sold out in Disneyland, too.

Missing Cargo Tiki Mug
The ultimate mashup might have happened when Disney World released the Missing Cargo Tiki Mug, which recreated a scene from Jungle Cruise (the ride, not the movie). How fun is this mug?
This one came out in 2021, and we’ll admit we weren’t so happy with the drink that came with it (we still think of that licorice-like flavor when we look at this mug). The mug itself, though? WORTHY.

Now, new tiki mugs don’t drop all the time, and you’ll need to make sure to keep an eye out for announcements from Disney about when and where they’ll drop. We’ll also let you know when new ones are set to release, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
