Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
The Monstro Tiki Mug we previously saw in Disneyland made its way over to Disney World! We found it at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We waited in line for around 75 minutes to get this unique mug!

There were two drink options to choose from and we went with the Whale of a Tale, made with Malfy Gin Originale, Plantation Pineapple Rum, Italian Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, and Orgeat, and garnished with an Orange Wheel, Charred Pineapple Wedge, and a Pineapple Leaf. We paid $50 for the mug and the drink.
