Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar Interior Closes for Refurbishment at Disneyland Hotel
Permit documents point to a comprehensive replacement of interior show effects and lighting systems.
Overview
- Disney shuttered the indoor bar on March 2, 2026, and has not set a reopening date beyond an expected spring timeframe.
- The outdoor patio remains open on a walk-up basis, and the adjacent Tangaroa Terrace continues normal operations.
- Disneyland has removed reservation options for Trader Sam’s during the closure period.
- An October permit details replacing interior show effects and show lighting with associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work, installing an electrical-room air conditioner, and swapping 42 gas tiki torches for epoxy-anchored alternatives.
- The pause comes during a wider resort refurbishment cycle that also has Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Incredicoaster, and the Haunted Mansion temporarily offline, with Napa Rose awaiting a reopening date.
