Trader Sam Haunted Mansion Tiki Cup Lookout

[dacraig09]

Went on sale at WDW tonight

"Grim-grinning ghosts are coming out to socialize at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto! This limited edition tiki mug can follow you home while supplies last. Mugs are available inside the Grotto only and limited to one per person. Only 200 mugs will be given per night."

so you need to be within the first 200 persons to enter the Grotto each night (assuming that everyone entering at that time wants to purchase a mug). Until they run out.

Wonder how many days of supplies they have...I'll be there in 2.5 weeks!

 

[squeezle]

Woo Hoo! We will be there in less than two weeks. *fingers-crossed*

Anyone know what the price is? I think I read somewhere it was $30 including the drink?

Ok so if you are doing the behind the scenes with Trader Sam's you get priority on the mugs. One per person and there is a line just for the mugs. You have to wait outside. We just left the event the line is about 25-40 people long and they have been there since 10 am according to the staff. I don't think this mugs will last more than a week or so. According to the staff there is not too many. It is a LE. The event was awesome!

The price is $30 per mug plus tax.

You could always pick one up on Ebay for about $200.

I love Trader Sam's but there's no way that I can justify spending eBay money for a mug that should be more available to customers. I don't live in Orlando and can only visit the parks once a year - twice if I'm lucky - and it's just one more cool thing that I can live without in my life.

 

[AsherBear]

Anyone know if they have run out of mugs yet?

 

[yaksack]

That cup looked cool. Are they glass or plastic?

I don't think that have run out of mugs yet because they are limiting I believe to 200 per day.

This is a limited edition mug so that gives the understanding that it won't be available to all customers. They have been doing LE Halloween mugs for a few years at least at Disneyland. Al the other mugs are around all year around for all customers. I would like a black pearl but I understand it is limited and you have to be lucky I don't expect them to change that or make it available to all customers. They have limit one per person to give a chance to customers and not re sellers. I hoesntly don't think there is much more they can do.

Are people really lining up at 10am on a consistent basis? We'll be there in a few weeks and really want a haunted mansion mug but not willing to lose essentially a whole day of our vacation.

It is ceramic and it is pretty tall about 8 inches

Yes! We went to check in for the event having no idea the mugs were available for purchase. When we got there they were asking if you are here for the event or the mug. Mug people were send outside to the line. At the end of the event they asked if you wanted to purchase the mug or not. Some people didn't. We got there around 11:35 and the line was about 10 people long when we got out of the event it was way longer.

Thanks for the info - this has solidified our decision to pay a crazy markup on eBay rather than waste hours of vacation time.
