New Dining at the Disneyland Hotel

Two new dining locations have opened as part of the ongoing Disneyland® Hotel renovation. The tiki-inspired design and storyline for Tangaroa Terrace—Casual Island Dining and Trader Sam's—Enchanted Tiki Bar tie in with the mid-century modern architecture of the hotel and the adjacent Adventure Tower.

Inspired by the Adventureland® areas from Disney Parks worldwide and the nostalgic Tahitian Terrace restaurant, located in Disneyland Park from 1962-1993, Tangaroa Terrace—Casual Island Dining will immerse visitors in a tropical setting with tiki torches and themed music. The name of the restaurant was borrowed from one of the tiki gods at Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The fast-casual dining experience will feature a tropical setting complete with tiki torches and island music setting the stage for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests can start the day with signature breakfast items such as French toast with bacon and warm banana-caramel sauce, or grilled cinnamon-spice oatmeal with island fruit.

For lunch and dinner, Tangaroa Terrace will offer a 1/3-pound Angus Hawaiian cheeseburger with teriyaki sauce, bacon, grilled pineapple, Havarti, tomato and lettuce burger on a multi-grain bun. For the health-conscious, the Asian chicken salad features greens (lettuce, cabbage, carrots, sweet peppers and cucumbers) with chicken breast, cashews and rice noodles in a sesame vinaigrette. The Kalua-pork flatbread will be topped with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, red onion and fresh cilantro.

Every evening, a different "Island Plate Dinner" will be on the menu. You can enjoy miso-crusted salmon, tamarind-glazed pork shanks or panko-crusted chicken, each served with jasmine rice, panko-crusted long beans and green papaya slaw.

If your in a hurry, a "Grab 'n Go" selection includes yogurt parfait, a tropical fruit plate, house-made pastries, sandwiches, veggie with dips, a sweet potato cake with guava cream cheese icing, pineapple-lilikoi pie, and "Trader Sam's Dessert Flight" with pineapple upside-down cake, layered passion fruit with pineapple-coconut crème and chocolate coffee cake.

Trader Sam's—Enchanted Tiki Bar is adjacent to Tangaroa Terrace, and it's named after the infamous Jungle Cruise "head" salesman. Trader Sam's unique lounge experience will include interactive experiences with a bit of Disney magic your Clients won't want to miss!

Trader Sam's will offer substantial "bar food" with options like sweet-and-spicy Asian wings, chicken lettuce wraps, and ahi poke (sushi-grade tuna). But it's the vintage island cocktails in kitschy glassware that will draw the most attention - drinks with names like Krakatoa Punch, Uh Oa! and HippopotoMai Tai.

These new locations are in addition to a newly expanded pool area that features a Monorail waterslide, a 4' D-Ticket pool, rentable cabanas, the Minnie Mouse spa and an immersive water play area, which are now open. New in-room décor and exterior of the hotel, as well as the redesigned Never Land Pool are scheduled for completion this year.
