Trip Report- Trader Sam's at the Disneyland Hotel July 16

Since I am in California visiting Disneyland for the 56th Birthday, I headed to Trader Sam's Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. It is a nicely designed and decorated bar with drinks suited for a tourist spot (way too sweet and kind of gimmicky.) Here are a few shots. First up the exterior:

Doors to the entrance from Oceanic Arts.

Lovely light.

One of the best design pieces are the tiki's at the bar, based upon the chanting Tiki Room poles.

More design elements with a great megaphone. One of the character stories for the bar is the skipper Skip and this is his megaphone.

The view of the patio at torches at night.

Yours truly in the bar.

    Everything is better when you're wearing a fez! (What does it say, by the way?)

    You should have mentioned that you visited on surely the most crowded day in its brief history!

    Outstanding! I wore my Sons of the Desert fez - from Fez-O-Rama, of course - on a visit in June. A Trader Sam's fez would be just the thing...

    Major- the fez is the Honui Fez for the Fraternal Order of Moai (FOM- www.fraternalorderofmoai.org) I am a proud member of the order.

    That is seriously the coolest Hawaiian-print shirt I have ever seen. Are those surf boards in the leis? Very unique!

    TikiCentral? Love the shirt. It's outstanding. Looks like you've visited fez-O-rama. Going to Disneyland in October for my 61st birthday. Looks like a place I need to visit.
