New Zombie Holiday Mug Coming to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Just when you thought you had no more room to spare on the shelf featuring all your favorite tiki mugs from Trader Sam’s, a new mug has been announced. This holiday season, lucky guests will be able to purchase a new Trader Sam’s Holiday Zombie Mug. It will have two versions (reading between the lines: you’re gonna need a bigger shelf): gold and red thread.

Yes, it’s green, wearing a Santa Claus hat, and it’s the cutest kind of creepy. This item was announced during this afternoon’s What’s Cooking with Disney Eats panel at Destination D23, where several new and upcoming novelty items were revealed. This was the only item that we saw related to the Walt Disney World Resort. Most of the other items were for Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line. You can preview those items here on the Disney Parks Blog.
So far, Disney has announced the following news for the Walt Disney World Resort at Destination D23:
- Tron Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom to Receive Special Red Overlay Celebrating ‘Tron: Ares’ Film
- Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic and Other Updates Announced for Carousel of Progress
