You'll find this dish at the Disneyland Hotel Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, which takes its name from the familiar "head salesman" of the Disneyland Jungle Cruise.
The Disneyland Hotel celebrates the completion of a two-year renovation this month, with significant upgrades and enhancements that have earned it a AAA Four Diamond rating. Guests are enjoying new room decor with modern amenities, an expanded courtyard, three pools including themed waterslides at the Monorail Pool, and a tribute to the early years of Disneyland Park. Nostalgic new additions include Tangaroa Terrace, a casual dining restaurant; and Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, which takes its name from the familiar “head salesman” of the Disneyland Jungle Cruise. A magical Disney oasis, the Disneyland Hotel features 969 remodeled rooms, fine dining at Steakhouse 55, plus 120,000 square feet of convention and meeting space.
