Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto (Soft) Opening Day

One of the highlights of both Sam’s here and in California are the nice hidden(in some cases not so hidden) tributes to the parks and attractions of the past. As you can tell 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea had a great influence here, but some of the other fun things include Mr. Toad not being able to drive after enjoying one to many at Sam’s.IMG_3805A left over picture or 2 from the Adventurers Club.IMG_3860
And for the not so hidden, a life ring from the much loved Maelstrom attraction.

IMG_3852Before I do wrap this up, I would be remise in not complimenting the hard working WDI staff who made this a real treasure and even more so the hard working skippers who help keep this place afloat!IMG_3864Now remember tip them, they don’t just act funny for the heck of it…well maybe Jen, but seriously remember tipping is a nice way to say “you didn’t spit in my drink and thank you!”

Oh and if you don’t happen to be able to make it into the Grotto, the Tiki Terrace ain’t so bad! It has live entertainment and a great view!IMG_3870

IMG_3869Also don’t worry, same drinks, food, and mugs are available outside also.

 

I am sure a lot of you are thinking it is the same as the one in Disneyland so why bother? Well to quote a friend Rain’s comparison of each of the Sam’s “Disneyland’s is if the Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise had a baby. This one is like if the Tiki Room and 20,000 Leagues had a baby.

And they are beautiful, beautiful babies.”

Now malaho and watch out for the hippos hiding in the trees!
