Alright, so both Californian mugs have been released today. Here’s Starbucks Been There Disney California Adventure which I find to be the prettiest among new Disney mugs, just because I like the blue colors! As you can see, the box is orange, similar to Universal mugs. It is priced at $19.99, which is not cheap and pretty much what I expected it to be. … Read more
I really like the vintage colors of Starbucks Been There Disney – Epcot mug, which has been released today. It reminds me of Epcot 35th Anniversary mug, which came out in 2017.
Btw, if you’re still looking for the older versions from YAH series, here are some Amazon links: Epcot v2

P.S. Meanwhile, you still have time to buy these old versions from the YAH collection at Amazon: Magic Kingdom v1
Starbucks Been There Bogota mug is designed using green and rose colors. Here are the most noticeable elements from the mug:
– Capitolio Nacional (or National Capitol) is a building on Bolivar Square in central Bogotá which houses both houses of the Congress of Colombia. The construction began in 1876 and finished in 1926.
– Statue of Simon Bolivar in the Parque de los Periodistas.
– Lake Guatavita is a circular lake located in the Cordillera Oriental of the Colombian Andes 57 km (35 mi) northeast of Bogotá.… Read more
Here’s Starbucks Been There Medellin mug and some symbols of this town. I am purposely avoiding talking about what this town is mostly known for (especially for foreigners) since the city is changing for the better and is trying hard to improve its image.
– Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture – houses cultural programs such as concerts, conferences and art exhibitions.
– Point Zero Bridge, decorated with a plumb-bob, symbolizes the center of the city and the point of origin for the surveying and numbering of Medellín
– Metrocable – a gondola lift system implemented in order to connect hard-to-reach metro areas to city center.… Read more
Here is Starbucks Been There San Juan, the mug for the capital and the largest city of Puerto Rico. It is the third oldest European-established capital city in the Americas, after Santo Domingo and Panama City.
From the mug:
– Cruise ship – since San Juan is a favorite destination for numerous cruises, you can see 5-6 huge liners docked in the port at times.
– A colorful wooden door, with the Puerto Rican flag on it. I think designers just liked the look and colors of this door, since I could not find any special story behind it.… Read more
With the release of Starbucks Been There Puerto Rico mug, we leave US and Canada behind and move into exploring the rest of the Americas. That’s right, with the introduction of the Been There Series, we are going to see the return of Caribbean and South American mugs. As a reminder, there were multiple Icons released for those regions, but no YAHs. I want to think this is Starbucks meeting the wishes of the collectors and I consider this a positive sign.… Read more
Thanks to a very vigilant Facebook user, it was brought to my attention that there is another Canadian mug revised by Starbucks. Been There – Montreal v2 introduces the update for “Parc du Mont-Royal”, which was “Parc du Mont Royal” in the initial release (v1). Even though it was a minor, hardly visible error, I think Starbucks did the right thing fixing it.
Starbucks Been There – Maryland v2 has two elements updated:
– there was this “nickname”, “Chesapeake State” which didn’t make any sense. I could not find any source which callled Maryland that way. This controversial detail has been replaced with White Oak, official tree of the state.
– “Oh say can you see…” has been replaced with “O say, can you see…” and I am not sure how accurate it is. There are slightly different variations of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” out there in internet.… Read more
