food IS a theme park
ALOHA from BouTiki in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We’ve found some rather unique offerings at the Polynesian’s primary merchandise shop over the past several months.

In particular, we’ve happened upon some Trader Sam’s goodies — like a Nautilus Chips and Dip set! — while Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and the Tiki Terrace remain temporarily closed. And today we’ve got another truly unique find for you… [Read more…]
Some of the bars and restaurants in Disney World are still currently closed, including Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and its outdoor counterpart, Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace.

In addition to the incredible tropical concoctions Trader Sam’s is known for, this spot has also earned a dedicated following thanks to the unique souvenir glasses and tiki mugs several of the drinks are served in. And if you’re missing those gorgeous take-home tiki mugs, we have some great news for you!
Good morning from Disney World’s Monorail resorts!

We recently took a stroll around the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Grand Floridian Resorts to see what’s new!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has had all kinds of fun and unique merchandise available lately, like those delicious shortbread cookies and some adorable Duffy and Olu Mel items!

Today we spotted even more cool, NEW merchandise themed to Trader Sam’s, but it’s selling out quick so you’ll definitely want to head there quickly if you want to check it out!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting ready to undergo some refurbishment, and we can’t wait to see one of the new Moana-inspired rooms in the future!

But, until then, we’re glad that we can still stop by this resort to grab a sweet Dole Whip or some fun merchandise. Recently, we heard a new, special item had made its way to the Polynesian, so we made our way over there to see if we could find it!
Since we’re not eating out anymore…like ever…we’ve been looking for ways to get creative in the kitchen with some of our most-missed Disney recipes!
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar
You KNOW we’ve been trying tons of delish Disney recipes. Our favorite so far? Probably the Dole Whip (two ways!)…what can we say, we’re suckers for a good Dole Whip! But will we potentially have a new contender in the mix today? Let’s find out!
Yep, we think we’ll be hanging on to this pin!

Is anyone else missing Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort as much as we are?? If so, we found a tiny trinket to give you a little touch of tiki in your life!
Shopping for souvenirs in Disney World almost seems like a rite of passage for some people. If you don’t come home with a pair of Mickey ears, did you even GO to Disney World?!
Coral Minnie Ears
But some pieces of merchandise are more “rare” than others. Often times you can find Disney parks merchandise online at shopDisney or at your local Disney Store, but other times there are items that can ONLY be found in the parks! [Read more…]
We’ve got a very important matter to discuss with you today!

We know we’re always talking about our favorite foods at the Disney theme parks, BUT did you know many of our favorite snacks don’t even require a park ticket?!
