Some merchandise sold at Disney Parks are highly valued as collector’s items.
We STILL remember the chaos surrounding the Figment Popcorn Bucket in 2022, after all. Popcorn buckets, in general, tend to be highly popular with collectors. Of course, we can’t forget about pins, either. But one of the most coveted collectibles could be the Trader Sam’s Tiki Mugs. We’re going to take a look at the Tiki Mugs Disney released in 2023 and show off some of the BEST!
So here’s the deal: Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World and Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland get special souvenir Tiki Mugs, but the Disneyland location seems to get more specialty mugs. So, we’re looking at mugs from both locations.
Ursula Tiki Mug
Who doesn’t love villain merchandise? TONS of poeple had no problem waiting in line to get their hands on the Ursula Tiki Mug in Disneyland and Disney World. Only a few poor, unfortunate souls managed to get their hands on it, though. It was pretty popular!
This mug is so creepy and ominous — we love it.

Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug
Hatbox Ghost is VERY popular right now, thanks to the addition of the animatronic in Disney World’s Haunted Mansion AND his appearance in the Haunted Mansion movie. So, the Hatbox Ghost Tiki Mug OBVIOUSLY made the top of our list this year. It was released exclusively in Disneyland.
This tiki mug is a ghostly light green color with a black glaze. We have a feeling this one was super popular (we didn’t manage to get our hands on one, sadly).

Haunted Mansion Gargoyle Tiki Mug
Haunted Mansion Tiki Mugs will probably ALWAYS be super popular among collectors, so we weren’t surprised at how long we had to stand in line to grab the Gargoyle Tiki Mug in Disney World. When we finally got our hands on it, we knew it was a VERY impressive mug. It looks just like the gargoyle candelabra inside the Haunted Mansion, but with a little Trader Sam’s twist.
We did notice this mug felt a little fragile, so this is a mug we won’t be drinking out of often. This one goes up on the shelf to show off.

Holiday Tiki Mug
The Holiday Tiki Mug from Disneyland has us asking, “Why is the rum gone?” thanks to that fun barrel shape. But this isn’t any old barrel — it’s a special holiday barrel done up all in red.
This is another one that sold out pretty fast. A lot of these mugs are only available for one day, after all.

José Tiki Mug
Of course, you can always see José, the singing bird, in The Enchanted Tiki Room, but Disney also turned him into a Tiki Mug that looks JUST like him. The mug was released to celebrate the attraction’s 60th anniversary. WOW.
A similar mug was previously released in Disney World in 2022, but this new one was released in Disneyland in 2023, so we had to include it on the list. We love José!
