Starbucks is certainly on a mission to take our money and fill our cabinets, and now it seems there’s a new ceramic tumbler at every park (we showed you Epcot and DCA earlier this week). The Magic Kingdom has released theirs as of today:
These tumblers retail for $21.99 each. The cup features icons of the park, including:
Not to be outdone by The Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot now has a new Starbucks “You Are Here” mug for sale at the Fountain View Starbucks.
The new mug does away with other park icons, now focusing on just World Showcase, including IlliumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
We showed you the new Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and the Hollywood Studios tumblers, so now we’re completing the set by showing you photos of the Animal Kingdom Ceramic Starbucks tumbler. You can find this beauty over at Creature Comforts for $21.99.
The Animal Kingdom tumbler features some neat animal patterns, as well as logos belonging to attractions at Animal Kingdom like DINOSAUR, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and Expedition Everest.
New this week is the release of new ceramic tumblers at all Starbucks locations across Walt Disney World. Earlier this week we showed you the Magic Kingdom version, now we’re bringing you a closer look at the Disney’s Hollywood Studios version available for $21.99 at Trolley Car Café.
A closer look reveals the Hollywood Tower Hotel, Disney Animation, Fantasmic, Carthay Circle, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.
Not to be outdone by Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom also now has a new Starbucks “You Are Here” mug for sale at the Main Street Bakery.
The new mug does away with other park icons, now focusing on just Fantasyland attractions like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Our thanks to WDWNT reader Shaun for sending in these pics!
Not to be outdone by Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort also now has a new Starbucks “You Are Here” mug for sale at the Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Cafe on Buena Vista Street.
The new mug does away with other park icons, now focusing on just Paradise Pier attractions.
The Fountain View Starbucks located in Future World at Epcot regularly changes up their specialty cupcake seasonally, so for the Summer season, they now have an Orange Creamsicle Cupcake. It looks pretty interesting, so we decided to try it.
Orange Creamsicle Cupcake, $5.99 at the Fountain View Starbucks at Epcot
So, how was it?
Orange Creamsicle Cupcake – $5.99

The cupcake is vanilla, featuring an orange-and-vanilla flavored icing, as well as a custard filling that has an orange peel zest.

Wile I’m personally not one for orange-flavored desserts, this one is absolutely incredible. The custard makes this quite special, and the cake was soft and fresh. The icing can be a bit much at time, but nothing you can control by eating this with a fork and controlling your icing distribution. Yes, I do take cupcakes this seriously as it is my job to do so.
Please do yourself a favor if you are visiting Epcot anytime soon and pick this cupcake up for a snack, especially if you love orange-flavored treats.
In our latest photo report, we catch up on Pandora: The World of AVATAR, Rivers of Light, and all of the other goings-on around Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Get ready for a wild time!
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Pandora: The World of AVATAR
I decided to take a walk down to the bus loop at Animal Kingdom to see the progress on Pandora: The World of AVATAR. This area offers an interesting view of the construction.
Small glimpses of the land are available from the Rainforest Cafe park entrance.
Steel is still going up on the ground level of the land, for what we don’t know.
As more and more trees are planted and the surrounding ones grow in, it is becoming harder to see the construction from some angles.
More of the alien lampposts have gone up along the bridge.
For some reason, there is a second set of construction walls behind the first.
Most of the bridge between Discovery Island and Pandora has been uncovered.
Some strange and colorful plant life and mushrooms are “growing” on the bridge, it looks like they may even light up.
New Starbucks Mug
A new Disney Parks exclusive Starbucks mug was recently released.
One of the boats that will be in the show was docked and charging by the viewing area.
Maharajah Jungle Trek
The new monkey species has still not debuted along the Maharajah Jungle Trek.
Flights of Wonder
We keep waiting for them to finish the coverings added to the Caravan Theater, but it may just be finished and unfortunately this is what the roof looks like.
Tree of Life Trails
Work continues on the trail behind the Tree of Life. This has to be opening soon, right?
