Attention ghouls, Disney has conjured a new Tiki mug!

The latest mug to honor the Haunted Mansion’s resident mystic Madame Leota has debuted at Trader Sam’s east coast outpost the Grog Grotto at the Polynesian Resort.
Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney World Resorts can transport you to a whole new world, and the Polynesian Resort is the perfect example of this! Nestled on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon lies a tropical paradise within Disney World. This resort is one of the three resorts located on the Resort Monorail Line, making it an accessible resort to stop at on your way to or from the Magic Kingdom.
Welcome to a tropical hideaway, you lovely people! We recently had the chance to visit one of the most popular lounges around Disney World’s hotels, and we’re here to tell you alllll about our experience!
A Zombie and a Hippopotomai-Tai
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is one of the most talked about spots when people mention unique experiences to be had at Disney World, and it seems to stand the test of time. Admittedly though, it had been a while since our last visit here, so we were due a trip to see if it still is as good as it once was!
Over the years, we’ve seen some Disney souvenirs become ridiculously popular.
Magic Kingdom
A few years ago, people would line up in stores to purchase Starbucks tumblers, and we often see limited-edition holiday season or new attraction merchandise fly off the shelves. But there’s one Disney souvenir that has developed its own fan group and culture — the tiki mug!

Grab a glass, my friends… it’s POG Juice time!!!
POG Juice!
Oh, I’m sorry; what’s that you say? You’re not familiar with POG Juice?

Dole Whip Bathtub Sundae
Okay, okay, we ALWAYS talk about Disney food, so sue us! It IS our middle name, after all. More specifically, though, let’s talk about all the changes that happen with Disney World restaurants. Now, we’ve seen restaurants come and we’ve seen restaurants go, but we also see restaurant menus changing every single week.
Disney World is full of fun secrets and surprises!
Cinderella Castle
For example, we were recently just selected to pick the Director’s Hat of The Day over in Magic Kingdom! There is magic all around in the parks and sometimes you might not even realize that rides and restaurants have hidden details and secret backstories!
Disney collectors are SERIOUS about the items they collect.
Tiki Mugs Available at the Disneyland Hotel
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!
