Ever since Disney and Starbucks came together in a marriage made in an iced grande triple shot vanilla 2% extra whip extra caramel drizzle caramel macchiato, the game has changed so much!

Merchandise Tips
- You can buy generic Starbucks Disney merchandise at Disney Springs, but if you’re looking for park-specific mugs and tumblers, you’ll need to get them from the actual parks. EPCOT mugs won’t be found outside of EPCOT.
- Pins have started to be produced, which means that you can add Starbucks-branded official Disney Pins.
- ‘You are Here’ has now become ‘Discovery Series’, which means that if you see something that you want, you should pick it up because the series do switch up.
