Introducing my friends to Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar


Back during the early part of August, we were experiencing triple digit weather. NOT my favorite time of year! Nevertheless, we decided to go to Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar after work one Thursday. I was surprised to learn that two of my co-workers had never been so I immediately knew that this was a rather serious situation that needed to be rectified!

 I got to the resort first so I booked it to Trader Sam's to be sure I could snag a table. When I got there, only two open tables were left! I was ever so grateful for the wonderful air conditioning and sat down to inspect the menu. This link takes you to the Disneyland site so there are no pictures but if you Google Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar and then click on images, you'll have a feast for the eyes.

 Speaking of feasts...I ordered the Shrimp Tacos and a Krakatoa Punch because I wanted the souvenir glass! Guess what? They were out of souvenir glasses. BUMMER. Oh well, the Castmember put a glowing ice cube in my drink so all was not lost.

When my friends arrived I had already finished eating so for my second drink I got a Lost Safari. Let me tell you, that was one strong drink...and I liked it. If I didn't have to drive home that night I would have had three more!

My friend, Jen, also ordered a Krakatoa (tall glass) and another drink which did come in a souvenir mug.

My friends were digging the atmosphere in the bar and we all enjoyed the Krakatoa yell... Whenever anyone in the bar orders a Krakatoa, everyone else that has one raises their glass and yells "Krakatoa!" Apparently it's a popular drink because we raised our glasses and yelled several times that evening!


Here you can see my glowing ice cube. My Krakatoa was long gone but I filled the glass with water from my bottle. Oh, and my yummy Lost Safari.

The obligatory group shot.

We were there a good two and half, maybe three hours and then walked out. We saw that there was seating available so we plopped ourselves down so that my friends who were newbies to Trader Sam's could experience the music and atmosphere.


Not only had my friends had never been to Trader Sam's, they had never explored the Disneyland Hotel grounds so off we went on a mini tour.

Right off the bat, we ran into a Disneyland Cat!


 I love this area at night!


We went to the lobby area of the Frontierland Tower so they could see the massive Big Thunder Mountain model that was on display and then we parted ways.

Take the tram ride back to the parking structure with me...

I love Trader Sam's....great way to spend an evening!

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
