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!
The rumors about the releases commemorating the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary have been in the air for quite some time. And it is now official, Starbucks has revealed the new mugs and ornaments for at least two parks today.
This is Been There Disney – Hollywood Studios 2 and as you can see it’s quite different from the “regular” releases, even Disney ones. The box is not orange anymore but has a rather gold color and the top of the cover reminds us about the 50th Anniversary of the WDW.… Read more
Hong Kong Disneyland is celebrating 15 Years of Magical Dreams with exclusive Starbucks merchandise. As you can see from the photos below, there is a mug, a tumbler, and a tote that were designed to commemorate September 12, 2005, the date, when fifteen years ago, Hong Kong Disneyland was opened to the public. A special ceremony in front of the Castle of Magical Dreams was held today to mark this milestone. There are special decorations, banners, and outfits for many Disney friends made with purple, pink, and gold colors!… Read more
Breaking news! Just when Starbucks lulled our vigilance with BT and Christmas releases, it strikes again with another mug from Asia. And it’s no less than You Are Here Disney – Hong Kong Disneyland! Well, what can I say? Collecting Starbucks mugs is definitely not boring and you never know what new day brings you. This new mug boosts the total number of Disney YAHs to 20, which is more than enough to set up a nice-looking display.
Hong Kong Disneyland a.k.a.… Read more
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.
And here is the last piece of the Disney ornaments puzzle. Starbucks was pretty consistent in releasing an ornament per day, so please meet Been There Ornament Disney – Epcot with the purple string which finalizes the set of six special mini mugs. As I’ve mentioned in the preview of the bigger mug, earlier this year, Starbucks has used some retro design for Been There Series Epcot. It brings us back into 1982 when the park opened its doors for the first visitors.… Read more
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
Been There Ornament Disney – Hollywood Studios is the second mini mug released for the Walt Disney World this season. So technically speaking Starbucks has been delivering a mug per day. With two other parks left, we are going to be done with the whole set very soon. The ornament has a brown string and these are some elements from it:
– Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith from Sunset Boulevard section of the park. It was opened on July 29, 1999, and has a sibling in Disneyland Paris.… Read more
Starbucks decided to not wait too long to release other ornaments for remaining Disney parks, so here’s Been There Ornament Disneyland which has been spotted today. The string color, as well as the color of the inside of the mug, is pink.
Here are some park’s symbols and attractions found on this mini mug:
– Sleeping Beauty Castle was opened on July 17, 1955. It is the oldest of all Disney castles and the only Disney castle whose construction was overseen by Walt Disney.… Read more
After this morning’s news from California, East cost strikes back with Been There Ornament Disney – Magic Kingdom. It has an orange box and a light blue string.
From the only picture I have so far, I can confirm that many of the elements from the full-size mug are still here:
– Cinderella Castle, which was inspired by the eponymous movie. It became a symbol of the park and the base for the logo of Walt Disney Pictures. Interesting facts: there are a total of 27 towers on the castle, each numbered from 1 to 29, with the exception of 13 and 17 which were canceled during the constructions.… Read more
