When we’re at Disneyland craving something tropical, we love heading to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar for fruity drinks and Polynesian snacks.

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar was closed for refurbishment until May this year, and the building is already being refurbished again!

We went to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar today when we noticed a brown scrim all along the length of the building. We saw construction workers going in and out, so there’s definitely some refurbishments happening!

Even though the building looks closed, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar is still fully operational! You’ll find a hostess stand at the front of the building, and they’ll lead you to outdoor tables and an outdoor bar serving the same Trader Sam’s drinks you know and love.

You can still grab some of Trader Sam’s new 15th anniversary menu items during the exterior refurbishment. Our favorite of the new bunch is the Furikake Fries, which are beer-battered French fries, furikake, green onions, and gochujang aioli for $12. We also enjoyed the BBQ Chicken Flatbread, made with Teriyaki chicken, red onions, mozzarella cheese, micro herbs, Fresno chilies, green onions, pineapple, and Kälua pork) for $24.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on more refurbishments at Disneyland. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disneyland news!

If you run into this dining problem at Disneyland, don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Disneyland dining should be straightforward — in theory. Yet, during a recent visit, we encountered a problem that’ll surely blindside non-Disney experts and tourists alike. Let’s talk about it.

During our visit, we were on the hunt for a rare DOLE Whip dessert that had gone viral when Disney posted it online. Simple enough, right?

However, when we were verifying our order, we noticed that the treat wasn’t advertised in person, nor was it shown on the Disneyland app via mobile order.

Later that day, we went to review a seasonal dessert at Naples Ristorante and noticed that it wasn’t on the official online menu, nor the menu in person. Fortunately, there was a little table advertisement that did highlight it, but it’s still worth noting in case you didn’t know about the treat beforehand.

This highlighted an obvious dining pitfall: Not all Disneyland offerings will be obvious to the average guest.

This problem usually plagues seasonal items — which wouldn’t be as much of an issue if Disneyland really didn’t embrace seasonal items. But it does, and so if you don’t know where to look, you could EASILY miss out on some pretty incredible exclusive treats.

Ultimately, Disneyland has lots of secrets that you need to know before your trip in order to unlock the full potential of your stay.

Keeping up with the trends is a tough task. It requires knowing where to look and who to talk to. Luckily for you, we’re pros at that, and we’ve taken it upon ourselves to know every little bit of what’s going on at Disneyland — from the latest ride construction updates to where you can find rare drinks. When we say we keep up with everything, we mean everything.

REVIEW: Getting A Dining Reservation at This Magic Kingdom Spot Might Be Worth It Just For These Halloween Eats!

Which new menu item are you most excited to try? Comment below! 

At DisneyFoodBlog, we eat our way through Disney World and Disneyland so you don’t have to guess.

Every month, our team of reporters hits table service spots, quick service counters, lounges, and everything in between, ordering the new menu items, the classics, and the dishes everyone’s talking about online. We take notes on flavor, value, portion size, and whether a dish is actually worth the wait or the price tag, because we know that on a Disney vacation, every meal is also a budget decision and a memory in the making. Last month, our team ate at 24 different restaurants across both coasts. We can’t cover every single bite in one article, but we’re highlighting five standout meals that taught us something important about dining in the parks right now — and we think these lessons will help you plan your next trip.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Proves Appetizers Can Steal the Show

When we headed to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, we started with the Bread Dip Pyramid, a $13 combo of Brazilian cheese bread, creamy tomato sauce, and a smoky chorizo dip. The sauce turned out to be the real star, thick and chunky with tomato, acidic and rich all at once, with the chorizo bringing a meaty depth and just a mild kick of spice. The cheese bread itself was soft and airy with a crisp exterior, pulling apart easily while still holding its shape against all that dipping. This meal taught us two things worth remembering: first, that Skipper Canteen isn’t the only place to find great Brazilian cheese bread at Disney World anymore, and second, that Jock Lindsey’s continues to be one of the most reliable stops for appetizers and cocktails in all of Disney Springs. If you’re tempted to skip the lounge menu in favor of a “real” meal elsewhere, this is your reminder not to.

Capa Reminds Us That Splurges Are Sometimes Worth It

Few meals this month made an impression quite like Capa. The NY Strip Steak with blackened caramelized onions was good enough to earn a permanent spot on one reviewer’s special-occasion list, and the combination of outstanding food, incredible service, and impeccable views made the case that some restaurants genuinely justify their price tag. Our lesson here is a simple one for readers planning a milestone trip: When you’re celebrating something big, Capa is the kind of place where the extra cost buys an experience, not just a plate of food.

Rix Sports Bar and Grill Now Has Churro Waffles

Breakfast got a serious upgrade with Rix Sports Bar & Grill‘s new Chicken and Mickey Waffles for $20 — Mickey-shaped churro waffles topped with crispy Nashville hot chicken tenders, hot honey maple, and a dusting of powdered sugar. The Nashville sauce dripped down onto the plate, so nearly every bite carried some heat alongside the sweetness, and the churro flavor baked into the waffles took the dish beyond a typical chicken-and-waffles combo. It landed at a pleasant medium heat rather than anything punishing, with the best bites coming from dragging those sweet waffles through the spicy sauce. What we took away from this one is that Disney’s kitchens are leaning harder into bold sweet-and-spicy flavor combinations lately, and it’s worth seeking these dishes out if that flavor profile appeals to you — just come prepared for a little bit of heat.

Golden Oak Outpost Proves Quick Service Can Still Surprise You

At Golden Oak Outpost, the Hot Honey Chicken Strips for $12.99 came with marshmallow and candied pecan-topped sweet potato waffle fries, and the whole plate over-delivered for a quick counter-service lunch. The chicken was crunchy and coated in hot honey with a great sweet-heat balance, while the waffle fries brought nostalgic marshmallow flavor with just enough hot honey drizzle to tie the whole plate together. The candied pecans added a nutty note that some might find a touch sweet, but it balanced nicely against the chicken’s spice. This meal taught us not to underestimate quick service: Disney World chicken strips, a menu staple most guests think they already know, can still get better.

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby Sets a New Bar for Downtown Disney

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby recently opened at Downtown Disney. We were blown away by the Beef Wellington, priced at $73 and served with potato puree, fresh herb salad, and red wine demi. It lived up to every bit of its reputation. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare and wrapped in crispy puff pastry with mushroom duxelles and Dijon mustard, our reporter called it “utter perfection,” and the red wine demi and elevated potato puree rounded out a genuinely show-stopping plate. This restaurant is worth booking if you want a meal that impresses even seasoned Disney food reporters, if your family is fans of Gordon Ramsay and his shows, or if you simply need a slower, more upscale pace during an otherwise chaotic Disneyland day. Our takeaway: this quickly became one of our favorite Downtown Disney restaurants, full stop.

Taken together, these five meals show just how wide the range of “worth it” can be at Disney. Sometimes it’s a $13 appetizer at a lounge, and sometimes it’s a $73 entrée at a celebrity chef’s table — and both can earn a spot on your must-do list. The throughline across everything we ate this month was flavor experimentation: kitchens across both coasts are leaning into bold sweet-and-spicy combinations, elevating quick-service classics, and proving that even reliable comfort foods like cheese bread and chicken strips can be reinvented in new ways. Our biggest lesson for readers planning their own trips is to keep an open mind about where you spend your dining budget — some of the best bites we had all month weren’t at the fanciest restaurants.

That’s exactly why we keep doing this. With so many restaurants, menus, and price points across Disney World and Disneyland, it’s easy to end up spending money on a meal that just isn’t worth it and just as easy to walk right past something incredible. Be sure to keep checking back with DFB for all of our latest restaurant reviews, new menu item taste tests, and dining guides, so you always know exactly where to spend your time and money on your next Disney vacation.
