Even once you're let in, there is not guarantee for an available seat, but generally works out.
I guess that's what makes it fun for some and not for others. I'm looking forward to meeting a few of those regulars myself. We ended up meeting a couple of CMs the night we were there and had a blast talking Disney and other things with them.I have been there a couple times. Both times, there were a bunch of locals, or cast members in there. They knew every line from the drink delivery schpeal. I like the place, but it's own popularity is what makes it no fun.
It's also a really nice 10 minute walk along the water from the GF to Trader Sam's. No need to take the Monorail if you're up for a walk.
Three kids 15,12,11. Non drinkers... will we still have fun? Is there a menu?
Thank youThere are a couple apps you can order and there are a couple non alcoholic drinks you can order. Here is the menu: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/polynesian-resort/trader-sams-grog-grotto/menus/
What is this pearl you speak of lolWe didn't wait that long to get in once we left our name (probably about an hour after it opened we checked it out). But once inside we couldn't get seats. So we stood next to one of the high top tables - a large group took all the chairs so we had to stand which is fine (for adults) but the table was high over my son's head! haha After we ordered and finished our drinks some people finally left and we got a table but by then my 7 year old was bored so we left. It was cool to see all the antics. People tend to hang around. The drinks are strong and expensive so they must spend a lot! It's really really small in there. We got the pearl to take home so that was cool. There is a kids drink that comes in a take home cup but they were all out of them so my son was bummed and another reason he wanted to leave! Next time I would try the outside patio since we've seen the show but then we can still get the take home cup and not have to wait in line. But definitely fun to see all the happenings.

A fun drink and the only plastic "mug" for the drinks that you can keep. If you're really lucky you might score a special Black Pearl. However as of last I heard the pearls are out of stock, but you can still get the drink.What is this pearl you speak of lol
