Shopping Disney: Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Shirts at the Disneyland Hotel

When we took our family trip to Disneyworld last year,  the one thing we missed out on was getting to visit Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.   Unfortunately it wasn’t opening for a few more weeks.   Our trip was planned around my stepdaughter’s Cheer Competition otherwise I would have planned the trip around the opening of Trader Sam’s.   I was hoping that it would be soft opened---but no such luck.

I really wanted to go there in order to get the Trader Sam’s Hawaiian shirt and the cool Grog Grotto  T-Shirt.  
Luckily I didn’t have to wait to get back to Orlando.   The main store at the Disneyland Hotel is now carrying both shirts.  (Actually they have been carrying them for awhile now—they are just often out of stock).

So for Tiki and Trader Sam’s fans.  The next time you head over to Trader Sam’s for a Tiki Cocktail stop over at the shop near the Hotel Lobby and grab a bit of Tiki.

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #77 Ku'u Lei Melody 2016 9 out of 10

 Ku'u Lei Melody 2016  9 out of 10

I absolutely loved this cartoon.   Mickey is trying to compose the perfect melody on a Uke and has been inspired by on island spirit in the form of Minnie Mouse.  The animation is superb.  It is the perfect mix of Tiki and Mickey.   Surfer Goofy and Donald interrupt Mickey.   They all end up searching for his melody in an ancient Tiki area that brings forth some cool Tiki Room references.  Mickey eventually finds Minnie and his tune.

Here is a picture for Mickey, Goofy and Donald walking past some Tiki room Totems. 

One of the only things I like as much as Disney is Tiki Stuff so this episode grabbed my attention on so many levels.

Mickey ends up connnecting with Minnie and the end of the episode and finding the mystery melody he was searching for.
This episode captured everything I love about the current Mickey cartoon series.  It featured the big 3 and had some adventures humor and fun.
