Just in time for the Halloween season, Trader Sam’s revealed its newest Haunted Mansion themed tiki mug! This year the mug features everyone’s favorite Hatbox Ghost!!
This guy is the latest in a series of mugs that come out every year around this time. They’re always limited edition, and they always cause a serious stir! (And by stir I mean hours-upon-hours long lines, carefully rationed wristbands, and a dedicated cadre of guests who are willing to spend an entire day hoping they’ll get one of the few available.)
If you don’t know who the Hatbox Ghost is, well, then you need to book yourself a trip to Disneyland ASAP! He can be found hitchhiking (of course) right after the ride through the attic in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. (In case you’re not sure you’ve got the right one, he’s the ghost that every single camera phone is trying to capture the best video of as you turn that quick corner!)
This mug is available starting TODAY at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and Tiki Terrace in Disney’s Polynesian Resort, so go grab it while it lasts! A limited number of wristbands are given out for the mug, and it is currently limited to just one per person.
It even says “Memento Mori” on the back, another nod to the Haunted Mansion ride.
The mug is $31.95 with a drink, which you can get either alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
The Grim Grinning Grog features Gosling’s Black Seal rum, Barbancourt Pango Rhum, passion fruit orange guava juice, lime juice, blood orange, falernum, and angostura bitters. Yes, please!
This replaces the old Fogcutter drink and we are totally OK with that!
You can also get a non-alcoholic drink in the new Hatbox Ghost mug, appropriately named the Foolish Mortal. This drink features pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine with flavors of mango, guava, and ginger. A great alternative!
Time to “Hurry back!” to Trader Sam’s to grab one of these Hatbox Ghost tiki mugs before they’re gone!

Does this come with an experience similar to the Uh-Oa! and HippopotoMai-Tai?
Leah says
If you want to get one of these how early would you suggest getting to trader sam’s?
DFB Sarah says
Leah, in our experience: the earlier the better!
DFB Sarah says
Jordan, it’s just the mug with the option to fill it with the Grim Grinning Grog or non-alcoholic Foolish Mortal.

We tried to get one of these yesterday and went to the Poly at 3. The wristbands had all been handed out by that time and the line wrapped around the building, so no mug for us. It was a crazy scene. They said they MAY start handing bands out around 1:00.
Anita says
When will they be released to Trader Sams in Anaheim Ca?
Dona says
Would love two of these! Trying to get to Disneyland this month. Any help would be appreciated!
