We’ve got absolutely incredible news for Disney World fans who can’t get enough of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto (AKA, it’s us, WE can’t get enough of this spot).
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is incredibly unique!
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is a bar/lounge located inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and previously, you’d have to wait until 3 PM to get into this spot and try some of their iconic drinks. That’s changed now, and we’re stoked — yes, you can now get into this lounge FOUR hours earlier!
Guests looking to dine at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto can now experience this unique spot from 11 AM to 12 AM, whereas you’d previously only be able to visit between 3 PM and 12 AM.

This means that if you want to grab a drink before you head to the airport, or perhaps go into a park for a later-in-the-day start, it’s much easier to do so. However, keep in mind that guests must be 21+ to enter the lounge after 8 PM.
A room with a view
If you’ve never been to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto before and you’re a big fan of in-depth, interactive theming, as well as interesting drinks to go along with it, it’s 100% a place you can’t miss. The lounge is quite small, so grabbing a seat can be difficult, but not impossible! The new hours certainly make it easier!
There are so many choices!
The drinks here are truly unlike any others you’ll find around Disney World, and some of the ones you order even make things happen around the bar! One of our favorite parts about the lounge is that it has a history that matches up with other Disney history — many years ago, the famed Adventureland explorer Trader Sam was bitten by the bartending bug, and has been searching for exotic ingredients to mix into magical libations ever since.
Uh-Oa!

I still wish they took reservations.
