Discovery Series Ornament Orlando is a mini mug for a vibrant city in Florida, known for being the home of Walt Disney World and its status as one of the most-visited cities in the United States. Originally inhabited by the Timucua people, the area began to see European settlement in the 1830s, with the establishment of a small fort during the Seminole Wars.

Been There – Florida International University

Posted on

Been There – Florida International University is the first out of at least four “University Mugs” that I’ve heard are coming out soon. It seems that Starbucks is expanding the list of Been There mugs by adding new types of locations and we’ve seen the trend with Star Wars and Yosemite mugs. It adds variety and attracts new collectors on one hand, but also can blow your budget on the other hand (in case you decide to collect the whole series).… Read more
