"Who are we offending? Headshrinkers??" - best line of the video, and the video itself is gold! It's been ages since I've made the trek down to Anaheim and I really should make reservations and hit up Trader Sam's again.
You hit on a number of observations I also had. Grog Grotto is much more theatrical than Enchanted Tiki Bar. Enchanted has much better cocktails. I think the difference is that Orlando's clientele is almost exclusively tourists, most of whom have never experienced tiki, so they're served boat drinks to meet expectations. In Anaheim, you have a lot more locals attending with a longer history of tiki bars and craft cocktails. The biggest realization came on our visit to Grog Grotto pre-COVID. We're enjoying the theatrics (which seemed not quite as relentless as those you experienced) although the drinks were disappointing. I'm chatting with the bartender/skipper, who is pleasant and engaging, and mention that we're driving to Fort Lauderdale the next day as we have reservations for the Mai Kai. The bartender says, "What's that?" That moment I realized that the bartenders at Grog Grotto are cast members, nothing more. They're playing a role. They're not tiki people. At Enchanted Tiki Bar they *are* tiki people and I've had great conversations there about rum selection and mai tai specs. I deeply appreciate a lot of what goes on at Grog Grotto, but Disney's attitude that "tourists expect boat drinks so we'll give 'em boat drinks" really diminishes the entire experience.
Sirens, bells, tambourines, AND yellling?? Watching you deal with all that noise was hysterical! This video is the ultimate resume for what is no doubt your massive career as a Tiki Consultant. Thanks, Spike!
It's surprising how different both are. Both are nice and all, but I have to admit the Orlando Traders just has this odd "TGI Fridays" feel. Just a bit too much bling and fluff.
Too generous to Grog Grotto on the atmosphere. To me the difference is the quality of the Bartenders, where at Disneyland they are true Bartenders who can do a rum sub for a Mai Tai or go off menu on a tiki classic or their own “secret menu”. In Disney World I asked for a Mai Tai with simple syrup rather than agave syrup and THEY DID NOT HAVE SIMPLE SYRUP. The skippers seem like wannabe Jungle Cruise skippers rather than bartenders and servers. An alternative rum Mai Tai made by Skipper Maddie at Enchanted Tiki Bar is currently in my top 5 Mai Tais of the year, it was that great! A Skipper Nate Mai Tai was second in 2022. You’re making me want to stay at the Poly at least for a day on my next trip, though. So many cool spaces there.
Thank you Spike for comparing these two. Makes me want to hit Disneyland even more now. I’ve always felt like the walls were closing in on me at Grogg Grotto and the patio there is an abomination.
Great video dude! I feel like I could tack on another video to every point you've made (both good and bad). My thoughts on Tiki Central earned me a forever dislike from a few Disney individuals - but the one thing I will say here is that Grog Grotto has too many shows that last too long, I think 2 minutes for their Uh Oa.
Dude, Incredible episode! One of our favorites yet. The Polynesian as a whole is something else. Finally getting out to Disneyland hotel to try to get into trader sams next weekend for the first time. Thanks for making our Friday night! Mahalo 🛸🤙
Agree 100% Plus the staff at the Orlando one was pretty rude when I was there. I just wanted to walk in and take a look at it and they wouldn't let me walk passed their little check in desk where they don't have any restrictions like that at the Anaheim location.
Going to Disneyland for the first time in 3 weeks and staying at the Disneyland hotel. Making the journey from Toronto Canada. Thanks for the great tips!
I get where you are coming from. I also think it's sorta off when Spike thinks there too much gimmicky stuff going on at the Grog Grotto, while he's missing shrunken heads and complaining about PC culture. But then again - in the couple of years I've seen Spikes shows - he comes off as a tradtitionalist. A tiki guy instead of a tropical guy.
Great work Spike. Really hit the nails here. If I could, or should choose a place to visit among these two, it would be Trader Sams. The Grog Grotto outside of Orlando is a circus and too much noice and show appearance for me...but then again, Im 60 so that might be a reason...or really not😄 I just want a Tiki lounge with good drinks and food. If I want a show with rubber ducks and water squirts, I go to Sea World.
We don’t care for Grog Grotto at all. At least Disneyland you have a place to sit. Grog Grotto is too small and they bring you in with no seating, standing only. Nope.
Really enjoy your channel! By far this is one of the best videos, EVER! We have been to Trader Sam's so many times and each time we discover another Easter Egg....The staff is so great and the drinks are amazing! With that said, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is definitely on my bucket list.
Another great one! Spent a week at the Polynesian with the fam last month. You nailed the review! I will say when I went solo later in the evening, the theatrics were much less than when I went earlier in the evening with the kids. The drinks though, they gotta work on those. Just sugary juice bombs.
You did such a good job, here, with this video. Thank you. And my vote for favorite is California's Trader Sam's. All of this information is SO helpful. Thank you, again.
A fun episode, Spike. Thanks so much. I've never been to either Trader Sam's so this was informative and entertaining for me. Uh-Oa! Uh-Oa! Uh-Oa-Oa-Oa!🍹🍹🍹
I will say this for Florida’s bartenders, they are good. If you ask, they’ll go off-menu and make you some classics. But you have to work a little harder to do so. That big horseshoe bar in CA gives you more FaceTime with the bartenders.
Such an amazing, well constructed, informative and entertaining episode. Awesome work spike!! This could easily be on Travel channel or any other broadcast station.
I agree that Trader Sam's Anaheim is the best, I missed the three cavallaro bartenders, Christian Kelly and Roy, sadly Christian has moved on to another bar, I missed the daytime drinking with Christian when it was slow he would start asking the customers different Disney trivia which was awesome he will be missed but at least we still have Roy and Kelly keeping the magic alive at Trader Sam's. I love getting a King Kamehameha my tie off the secret menu from Roy or getting the original sour version of planet of the apes from Kelly. Do chivalry my appreciation of friendship good service and most awesome cocktails I gifted him with a Tiki for his home bar and Kelly knows me as the pirate so these days I go to Disneyland not to ride but to drink. Of all the tiki bars I've been to across the United States my two favorite are Trader Sam's Anaheim and Trader Vic's in Emeryville. DJ Ray from crocodiles nightclub Modesto California 🦜
It was cool, those old beer handles at the Anaheim Trader Sams were copies of the carved figures that are at the Enchanted Tiki Room Patio. Trouble is they got broken quite a bit. I think the bar at Florida is more of a tourist setting hence the plastic mugs and cups filled with very weak cocktails (much like on the Disney Ships) . All in all I prefer the Trader Sam's in Anaheim. BTW Spike, Lake Buena Vista, not open to swimmers) got removed to make room for the larger themed pools because the old pool area was rather small and there was trouble with crowding.
Great breakdown ... Thanks for the heavily lift and unbias analysis. Living much closer to Trader's Sam Anaheim ... I definitely see it as being more accessible and being able to build familiarity through frequent visits of the Culture, Staff and Drinks. If I made it out to Orlando - I would probably just make the trek to the Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale instead. But you nailed the dinner theater vibe of the Orlando location like it was Medieval Times or Wild Bills. Trader Sam's Anaheim seems more like a community where as Trader Sam's Orlando is a one and done. Do locals in the Orlando have the same affinity for that location? Great video as always!
Another great episode and an interesting one. If I was ever to visit America I don't think either of those bars would be on my itinerary. Why? mainly because the atmosphere in both places looked a bit off. For me, a tiki bar should be mysterious, dark and menacing, like being in a jungle while also captivating in its beauty as one would expect if you were stranded on a tropical paradise alone with only the beautiful Wahines for company like you would have seen in the Mai Kai and Kahiki. I would be looking for that experience of escapism from the outside mundane world which I felt was missing here. Both bars looked a bit underwhelming and I was particularly put off by all the "bells and whistles" every time a cocktail was served. It was overkill and would quickly become boring and annoying. I love the idea of a ceremony but do it tastefully and sparingly to keep it special. Otherwise Spike my man, I think your review was spot on. Aloha!
they have the same syrups and basic rums that the original had at launch, mor or less, but somehow always worse! same drink 3x and different tasting 3x, i dont get it
Let me say this, from a former southern Californian who lives on the East Coast and frequents Orlando now, you have a California bias in this video. Disneyland and Disney World are 2 separate beings. Disneyland is much more of a vibe for Californians which i didn't understand until I left the state and saw it from the outside. Florida is for families traveling from far away. A lot of them on once in a lifetime trips. California is mostly locals even if they don't go a lot. They are from a more local culture in Socal where tiki is more popular. Tiki is not as popular in the rest of the world where Florida grabs it's visitors from. Therefore, Florida is more for fun and for tourists. Not as much tiki purists.
Great video! I have to agree with many of your observations. Anaheim "Sam's" is way too bright (didn't used to be), several of the decor items that have been removed didn't really need to be. And the skippers in Anaheim are the best around, you can order off menu, always a flavor adventure! They do need a smaller bell.
@@BreezewayCocktailHour the lighting under the counter got 10x brighter after the rennovation maybe in 2017 when the countertops changed too and the upholstry. if that lighting returns to something not blinding, the whole place will be darker liek it used to be
I didn’t realize there’s a whole sub culture just dedicated to just tiki -one of my minor gripes here is that you’re underwhelmed by stuff on the ceiling on one location and then also underwhelmed that you get an entire light up god in the other. While also lamenting political correctness for taking away a god from the ride. -this is the first video I’ve seen from the channel and I loved the production value and look forward to checking out more. -I do get where you’re coming from with the patio at grog grotto but you also have another pool bar and an entire tiki resort to explore. And at the Polynesian u can hangout and see the fireworks over the castle and they pump in the show music so if hit that time it seriously upgrades the score
I totally was underwhelmed by the stuff on the ceiling at the ETB but I wasn't underwhelmed by the light up guy. I was just annoyed that he went on for so long. 😂 it's a great feature, I just think that it's too drawn out. But it's also my opinion, so take that as you will. 👌 I'm sure seeing the fireworks at the Grog patio is probably great, but take that away from the place and it's just a patio by a lake... which is very nice, but I don't think compares to the patio at the Disneyland Hotel. Again, just my opinion though. Thank you for a very well thought out and respectful message. 🙏
I have not been to GG since right before Covid but I felt like the drinks we got at that time were better than a 2. Wonder if the quality has declined. Thoughts from more frequent visitors?
Great comparison video! I’ve never been to grog grotto so thanks for showing so much about it. Both seem so different it seems worth visiting both as seems like a very different experience. Only thing I disagree with is that the drinks are good at Enchanted Tiki Room…they’re not. I consistently get the worst drinks there compared to all other Tiki bars in So Cal. But they’re not terrible, just mediocre. But the theming is so cool it makes up for it.
Maybe it's you, or somebody inexperienced making them. They have good rums and some really knowedgeable people like melissa, kelly, roy, to name a few who can really make some great originals or solid classics
@ I’m sure they are fine folks. It’s not an attack on them personally. But when I go to Bamboo Club, Strong Water, Royal Hawaiian, and others, I always consistently get better tasting drinks than Trader Sam’s. Only other place I’ve been that’s maybe beneath them for drinks is Bali Hai. Again, they’re not bad drinks by any means! Not even Bali Hai. It’s just when I rank them compared to other tiki bars they fall short. Thanks for your comment.
This is definitely on of the best videos on UA-cam that shows the bar, and talks about the drinks and experiences.
Thanks so much! I put a lot of effort into getting that right. 🙏
"Who are we offending? Headshrinkers??" - best line of the video, and the video itself is gold! It's been ages since I've made the trek down to Anaheim and I really should make reservations and hit up Trader Sam's again.

Wow Spike you killed this one!! Beautifully shot and so informative.
Thank you sooo much. 🙏
Sirens, bells, tambourines, AND yellling?? Watching you deal with all that noise was hysterical! This video is the ultimate resume for what is no doubt your massive career as a Tiki Consultant. Thanks, Spike!
It's surprising how different both are. Both are nice and all, but I have to admit the Orlando Traders just has this odd "TGI Fridays" feel. Just a bit too much bling and fluff.

Well done, good ratings system too; not surprised at the results! Really good in-depth take on both places ❤
Thanks, buddy!
Excellent video! That was such a fun night!! The drinks were especially off that night at the GG.
Thank you Spike for comparing these two. Makes me want to hit Disneyland even more now. I’ve always felt like the walls were closing in on me at Grogg Grotto and the patio there is an abomination.
The #1 Tiki show on UA-cam!
Kelly is a magician

You're gonna love Trader Sam's! Tell 'em I sent ya!
The ceiling was the first thing I noticed at Trader Sam's, Disneyland. I mean, even if they painted it a darker color, it would look better!
Florida feels like a Tiki Bar on a cruise ship
EXACTLY
But the Mai Kai!!!!!!
Great idea! Very interesting to compare.
Thanks!
Agree 100% Plus the staff at the Orlando one was pretty rude when I was there. I just wanted to walk in and take a look at it and they wouldn't let me walk passed their little check in desk where they don't have any restrictions like that at the Anaheim location.
They probably have to deal with people all the time just trying to "walk in".
@ And like a regular bar why would that be a problem?
Going to Disneyland for the first time in 3 weeks and staying at the Disneyland hotel. Making the journey from Toronto Canada. Thanks for the great tips!
You're in for a treat!
Well done Spike, can't wait for the Mai Kai review!
You and me both!
As a Jivaroan tribesman I appreciate them removing the shrunken heads. We no longer practice that. It’s been at least a couple of weeks.
I get where you are coming from. I also think it's sorta off when Spike thinks there too much gimmicky stuff going on at the Grog Grotto, while he's missing shrunken heads and complaining about PC culture.
But then again - in the couple of years I've seen Spikes shows - he comes off as a tradtitionalist. A tiki guy instead of a tropical guy.

@25:48 That Jules Verne submarine thing…is the Nautilus. It’s from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Fun fact: while ETB feels bigger (I think so too!), GG actually seats 4 more people.
Spike nailed it. He was definitely not the target audience for Orlando. Stay in CA I guess.
Grog grotto is what introduced me to tiki, so i will always have a biased perspective, but i love it...
A fun episode, Spike. Thanks so much. I've never been to either Trader Sam's so this was informative and entertaining for me. Uh-Oa! Uh-Oa! Uh-Oa-Oa-Oa!🍹🍹🍹
😂 🙌🔥
I’ve got to say, I do think the bartenders and drinks are better in CA.

Yeah, that's something that I just forgot to address, sitting in front of the bartenders really makes it a personal thing.
Such an amazing, well constructed, informative and entertaining episode. Awesome work spike!! This could easily be on Travel channel or any other broadcast station.
Thanks so much, Darren 🙏

Trader Sam’s Disneyland wins ambiance/atmosphere hands down. Can’t beat the bar design alone.
Great review. I need to get to both of these establishments.
i've only been once (so far) but Trader Sam's was just a great experience all the way through. can't wait to go back.
Yes the Mai Tai at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar is pretty good
It was cool, those old beer handles at the Anaheim Trader Sams were copies of the carved figures that are at the Enchanted Tiki Room Patio. Trouble is they got broken quite a bit.

I prefer to sip my cocktails in peace so these places would be certainly avoided.
😂
Looking forward to this comparison since i went to the trader Sam’s at Disneyland.

Great episode. Did you dock them a point for the upside down shield at 2:18? How did nobody catch that?

I'd like to hear those reports too!

Parking at Anaheim is EXPENSIVE. They refuse to validate even though they say they do. Change that and I’m there.
Stay past 11:30 and it's freeee 😏👌
theyll validate if you park at the hotel
good video. Keep the intro
Is there a zoom every Friday?
There is a live show on IG every* Friday.
I think on Patreon we are going to start up a monthly Breezeway After Dark Cocktail Party on zoom.
I was in California in d23 😅 had better time in calif vers Florida
