Larry ordered the Rams, and I initially got the Cheeseburger but ended up switching to Ramen. Wow, this might be the best ramen I’ve ever had! I was genuinely surprised, even for a Disney spot. It had just the right amount of spice—not too overwhelming, but with a nice kick. It was fantastic!

The food, however, can be hit or miss. Some days it’s excellent, while other days it falls short. For instance, I had a delicious Hawaiian plate a few weeks ago; the meat was tender and perfectly marinated. But last week, I was disappointed when the meat was tough and looked like it had just been splashed with teriyaki sauce before being served. The service is outstanding, with bartenders and servers who are very attentive. Orders are promptly served, which is important since guests have a strict 90-minute time limit to experience everything Trader Sam's has to offer! The main draw for us is the atmosphere, especially in the bar area (the terrace is nice, but the bar is where the magic happens). Disney really outdid themselves with the interior design, creating an enchanting experience that rivals any ride in the park. From animatronic effects like a ship in a bottle (triggered by ordering a shipwreck drink) to a view of an erupting volcano (when you order the Uh-oa bowl), Disney made sure the bar is truly interactive! There are even stools that shrink when you’re not paying attention! The bar is decorated with memorabilia from Jungle Cruise, Temple of the Forbidden Eye, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Up, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. Plus, in the evenings, there’s usually live entertainment from a duo performing Hawaiian music, which we thoroughly enjoyed last October when they sang their rendition of "999 Happy Haunts," earning a standing ovation from everyone on the terrace! Despite some inconsistencies in food quality, we always look forward to our visits to Trader Sam's. So make sure to stop by, order your favorite drink, raise your glass, and toast, Kungaloosh!!!
