BACKSTORY: From the Disneyland website:
TRADER SAM'S ENCHANTED TIKI BAR
Welcome, Brave Adventurers! Dock your tramp steamer at the cement shores of the Disneyland Hotel pool area and enter this mystical oasis. Bold and unforgettable cruise-ine awaits at this tiki bar inspired by the world-famous Jungle Cruise. Trader Sam's — named for the "head" salesman of the Amazon — features some of the exotic wares he has collected over the years.
What Makes This Restaurant Unique
A Tropical Tiki Menu Guests can voyage beyond mere bar food with panko-crusted Chinese long beans with sriracha mayonnaise, sweet 'n spicy Asian wings and Ahi Poke — a wasabi-yuzu-marinated ahi tuna served with avocado, green onion and crispy wontons.
Concoctions from beyond the South Seas! For Guests over the age of 21, Trader Sam's serves beer, wine and a boatload of inventive cocktails in kitschy, tiki-inspired glassware. Be careful what you order, as there could be consequences! After drinks and appetizers, set sail for Tangaroa Terrace – Casual island Dining, located right next door.
TANGAROA TERRACE Casual Island Dining in a quick service retreat complete with lit torches and music from the South Seas. Named for the most magical of gods from the Enchanted Tiki Room, the restaurant is located between the Monorail Pool and D-Ticket pools. Dine inside or al fresco to nightly live music.
