Pam Brandon, Disney Parks Food Writer, has posted on Disney Parks Blog some details about the new lounge at the Polynesian Village Resort, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

This is one of the additions to the Polynesian Village Resort that a lot of people have been waiting for. This will be an East Coast version of Disneyland’s Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. So there will be some similarities, but there will also be a lot of unique details to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Some of  the drinks that were created for Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto:

• Polynesian Pearl
• Nautilus
• Castaway Crush
• Tahitian Torch
• Dark and Tropical Stormy

There are also some drinks that will be included on the menu from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar:

• Krakatoa
• Uh-Oa!
• HippopotoMai-Tai
• Shrunken Zombie Head

For those that prefer non-alcoholic drinks:

• Schweitzer Fall
• Skipper Sipper
• Polynesian Punch

There will also be a bar menu:

• Chicken lettuce cups with hoisin ginger sauce (from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar)
• Hawaiian poke with Sriracha aioli and wonton chips (from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar)
• Kalua pork tacos with shredded cabbage and pickled vegetables (new)
• Pan-fried dumplings with soy-sesame dipping sauce (new)
• Roasted chicken and port pate banh mi sliders with pickled vegetables (new)
