Aloha Elizabeth and welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you're a fellow fan of
Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, and I definitely think it's a great place to pop by on a little post-work expedition just to enjoy all of the immersive elements that you can find within, along with the general lush surroundings of
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. I enjoy seeing all of the whimsical Tiki Mugs as they become available and only wish that I started collecting sooner!
You'll be happy to hear that I've been able to successfully request for one of
Sam's No-Booze Brews in place of an alcoholic beverage when purchasing a specialty mug; the friendly and very responsible Cast Members definitely wouldn't want to be serving you anything alcoholic if you're about to continue driving home! Note that offerings and policies are subject to availability and may change at any time, and it's also worth inquiring over at
Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace which can sometimes be a bit speedier (especially when new limited-edition mugs are released), just without all of the fun effects that come with ordering one of the legendary specialty cocktails!
As a personal recommendation, I always make sure to make a mobile order and stop by
Capt. Cook's for some Pulled Pork Nachos; they are super portable and great to eat on the go! Be sure to check out the
planDisney Pocket Guide to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for each of the new and exciting offerings and additions that you'll be able to enjoy as a local! (There's really nothing like being able to escape for a little dose of Disney magic every now and then after work!)
Wishing you all the best on your quest to find your Tiki Mug Treasure!
