While the front of the Discovery Series Disney Ornament – Animal Kingdom looks similar to the bigger mug, the back has only one element – floating mountains from Pandora – The World of Avatar. The string color is the light shade of green. We can also see “Starbucks” written inside the ornament.

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
Along with the bigger mug Starbucks has released the WDW 50th Anniversary ornaments as well. Please meet Been There Ornament Disney – Animal Kingdom 2
If you compare the ornament to the full-size mug, it becomes obvious that Starbucks decided to not create a custom design by rearranging or removing the elements, as is the case for all other ornaments from Been There series. This time artists went with a full copy of the design of the mug, just making it smaller.… Read more
Like I’ve mentioned in the previous post, two parks got new releases so far, and Starbucks Been There Disney – Animal Kingdom 2 is the other mug from today. Again, we can see the gold box and the big “50th Anniversary” detail on the cover. I am waiting for the better pics of the mug and the box, especially the side with the legend mentioning all the elements from the mug. Stay tuned for the full review!
As of today, all six Been There Disney Ornaments have been released.
Here are the links to their respective pages, in one place, as well as the group photo of them together.
After a short delay, Been There Ornament Disney – Animal Kingdom has been finally spotted in stores. The string is green, as expected.
From the quick review of the mug, it looks like Starbucks decided to not change the position of the words “jambo” (hello) on the back of the mug and “kwaherini” (goodbye) on the front. You probably remember that I expressed my concern about it in the full-size mug review. On a similar note, the not as popular slogan “Truly Alive with Adventure” was kept as well.… Read more
Starbucks Been There Disney – Animal Kingdom mug is returning back to its roots with the green palette used in its design. The Tree of Life is back and it takes a huge portion of the mug’s layout. There are many more small and large elements, which is very common to the new Been There series. We can see numerous animals covering all sides for the mug, namely lions (one of them being Simba cave drawing though), rhinoceros, elephant, birds and couple of dinosaurs.… Read more
Let’s face it, we knew it’s just a matter of time till Starbucks replaces Disney YAHs with brand new mugs from Been There Series. Here’re the pictures of all six Disney Been There mugs (spotted online today), which proves that the release date is coming closer. I know those are blurry, but what do you guys think so far? I think they look great and I am sure most people will like them. Those who don’t, in the beginning, will change their mind pretty soon (as it was the case with all Been There mugs).… Read more
In the light of the recent release from Starbucks and Disney, it was brought to my attention that this is actually not the first mug dedicated to a specific Themed Land within corresponding Disney Park. Let’s start with California. If we look at the bottoms of California Adventure 2 and Disneyland 2 it turns out, that the first is based on the Paradise Pier and the second is based on the Fantasyland. I’ve combined these two and the newest Disney mug from California together in a collage. … Read more
Another mini-YAH from today’s release – You Are Here Ornament Disney – Animal Kingdom v2. Obviously a copy of it’s bigger brother. The color of the string is orange.… Read more
