Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar Indoor Closure for Refurbishment Begins Feb. 17
Permit filings point to technical upgrades that will pause the bar’s signature indoor effects.
Overview
- Disneyland Resort confirmed the indoor seating at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar will close for refurbishment starting February 17, 2026, at the Disneyland Hotel.
- An October construction permit outlines tenant improvements including replacing 42 exterior gas tiki torches, installing an air conditioner in an electrical room, and renewing interior show effects and lighting with related mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work.
- The work focuses on the themed interior, so the drink-triggered show moments and other indoor effects will be temporarily unavailable.
- Outdoor bar and patio seating will remain open, allowing guests to continue ordering cocktails and appetizers outside during the interior project.
- Disney has not provided a reopening date or detailed how guest-facing elements may change beyond the technical scope in the permit.
