Refurbishment Details & Timeline

The indoor portion of the bar is expected to remain closed throughout the spring. Disney currently aims to have the location back in operation in time for the bar’s 15th anniversary on May 25, 2026.

While the interior undergoes work, guests can still enjoy the tropical atmosphere nearby:

• Outdoor Dining: The outdoor patio at Trader Sam’s will remain open for guests.
• Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill: This adjacent location will continue normal operations during the construction period.

What’s Changing?

Permits filed for the project suggest that the refurbishment will focus on both aesthetic and technical upgrades. Planned improvements include:

• New Gas Tiki Torches: Updated lighting elements for the interior.
• Enhanced Special Effects: Refreshed show and lighting effects to bolster the bar’s immersive storytelling.
• General Technical Maintenance: Standard updates to ensure the longevity of the popular venue.

This two-week delay gives guests a final opportunity to visit the indoor space before it goes behind construction walls for its spring refresh.
