We STILL remember the chaos surrounding the Figment Popcorn Bucket in 2022, after all. Popcorn buckets, in general, tend to be highly popular with collectors. Of course, we can’t forget about pins, either. But one of the most coveted collectibles could be the Trader Sam’s Tiki Mugs. We’re going to take a look at the Tiki Mugs Disney released in 2023 and show off some of the BEST!
A NEW tiki mug is now available at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World!

The Thanksgiving weekend crowds have left Disney World, and we’re now heading into the holidays!
Christmas tree made of ham and cheese — OH YEAH
Granted, the holidays started WELL before Thanksgiving in Disney World, but you know what we mean! So let’s talk about food. Now, we’re a little disappointed that Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs won’t be opening in Disney World until 2024. But the hot chocolate flight we recently had made us feel better. Now, though, let’s look at restaurant menu changes in Disney World, because those are ALWAYS happening, no matter what.
One of the most important parts of your Disney World trip (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for.

When it comes to tiki drinks and fun snacks, there’s one fan-favorite place to visit at Disney World.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World
Yep, it’s Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto! This fun little tiki bar at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is home to a menu filled with fun cocktails and small bites. There’s only one problem. Seemingly EVERYONE loves this drink spot — and it’s usually crowded. Like, the kind of crowded that you have to join a long wait list to have a chance at getting in. Well, we have a tip for you if you’d like to enjoy an empty and serene Trader Sam’s.Â
