Discovery Series – Florida

This is a new release for the Sunshine State. Starbucks Discovery Series – Florida showcases the bright design using yellow, red, and green color palettes. I am monitoring the audience’s reaction and I have to admit that the opinions about the new collection are divided. As for myself, I prefer to see them in person and render my verdict then.

Back to the design of the mug, I can already see these symbols and points of interest of Florida:

– The Space Shuttle, revolutionized space travel with its reusable design and ability to ferry astronauts and payloads into orbit.… Read more

Discovery Series – New York

Another state is joining the new collection with the release of the Discovery Series – New York mug. Interestingly enough, the sphere on the front of the mug is green, similar to yesterday’s release. Another observation I’ve made is that, unlike the previous series, the inside of the mug is matte, or at least not as glossy.

As you’ve noticed, simplicity is the hallmark of the new series, especially when compared to the Been There collection. Here are some of the symbols and places of interest that are depicted on the mug.… Read more

Discovery Series – Tennessee

This is the first, non-Disney mug from the brand-new Discovery Series. In my earlier post, I cautiously suggested that the Disney Parks releases is just the beginning of the new collection. I later saw rumors about more Discovery Series mugs coming out on April 9, which got me excited. Well, it seems there is no need to wait another three weeks, as the Discovery Series – Tennessee was spotted in stores today. There is no doubt that more states and cities are on their way to being released.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – Animal Kingdom

Discovery Series Disney – Animal Kingdom is last but not least mug from the recent WDW batch of releases. Opened on April 22, 1998, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of entertainment and education. It is a pioneering concept in the realm of amusement parks, seamlessly blending entertainment with a profound dedication to wildlife conservation and education. Unlike traditional theme parks, Animal Kingdom serves as a living, breathing celebration of the animal kingdom, immersing visitors in a world where the magic of Disney coexists harmoniously with the wonders of the natural world.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – Epcot

Starbucks Discovery Series Disney – Epcot mug is out. Like I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the circle (or sphere) on the front of the mug is blue, in contrast with other mugs from this collection.

Epcot, short for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, is a unique and visionary theme park located in Walt Disney World Resort. Opened on October 1, 1982, Epcot offers an immersive experience that celebrates the wonders of human achievement, innovation, and cultural diversity. Divided into two distinct sections, Future World and World Showcase, Epcot combines futuristic technology, thrilling attractions, and a global tapestry of pavilions representing different countries.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – Magic Kingdom

Starbucks Discovery Series Disney – Magic Kingdom is the newest mug from the Walt Disney World Resort. The design of this release shares an interesting detail with other mugs from this collection, namely, the big yellow circle right in front of the mug (the circle is orange for California Adventure and blue for Epcot). I can only assume it symbolizes sun?

Here are the points of interest and symbols of Magic Kingdom park that made it to the design of the mug:

– Space Mountain is an iconic indoor roller coaster located in Tomorrowland.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – Disneyland Park

It all started with Discovery Series Disney – Disneyland Park it seems. It was the first mug from the new series that was spotted earlier this week. Here are the symbols and attractions from the park that inspired the Starbucks designers:
– Sleeping Beauty Castle, standing majestically at the heart of Disneyland, is a symbol of enchantment and magic. Inspired by the fairy tale and Disney’s iconic animated film, the castle serves as the centerpiece of the park, welcoming visitors to a realm of imagination and wonder.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – California Adventure

In my previous post I cautiously suggested that more Discovery Series mugs are coming soon. I guess, I was not wrong, as we’re getting news about new mugs and ornaments from all six Disney Parks.
Discovery Series Disney – California Adventure mug is the first of them that I would like to present to you. I wish Starbucks added the legend of the points of interest depicted on the mug, as it did for the Been There series mug, however this is not the end of the world, as all these attractions are very well known to the visitors of the park.… Read more
