Welcome to the world-famous D23 Spotlight Series, where D23 Members are invited to cast off on a guided journey tracing Walt Disney’s global travels that inspired the beloved attractions of Adventureland! The Walt Disney Archives staff will serve as your honorary skippers (and possibly lion tamers and dance instructors) on a journey to discover how Walt’s curiosity and love for travel led to the creation of classic attractions such as the Jungle Cruise and Walt Disney’s The Enchanted Tiki Room. Later, Imagineer Kyle Barnes will also join the voyage to reveal how Adventureland inspired the design and creation of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, the outpost celebrating its 15th anniversary this year! Plus, enjoy an on-stage Trader Sam’s mixology demonstration as well as the opportunity to shop at Mickey’s of Glendale to complete this epic adventure that you won’t take for granite!

  • A panel from the Walt Disney Archives exploring Walt Disney’s global travels and how they inspired the attractions and offerings of Adventureland, plus a look into how this led to inspire the design of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar—and a Trader Sam’s on-stage mixology demonstration.
  • A limited-release event pin commemorating the 15th anniversary of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar.
