This is Been There Ornament Disney – Magic Kingdom v2 that you can find on the shelves in the park, next to the bigger mug. Read my previous post for a full review of the list of symbols that can be found on both mug and ornament. And yes for v2s, Starbucks decided to make the design of the mug and ornament identical, which is different from what we’ve seen before.
Been There Ornament Disney – Disneyland v2 is a mini version of the regular-sized mug. Please see my previous post about the park, to learn more about the symbols and icons, that were used as inspiration for the new mug and ornament.

Been There Ornament Disney – California Adventure v2 is a complete copy of the bigger mug released earlier. Because of the size of the box, Starbucks didn’t place the list of elements from the ornament on the cover, so I invite you to read my previous post where I go over that list.
And the second ornament released today is Been There Ornament Disney – Hollywood Studios 2. It comes in a gold box, has a blue string and the design, that is a complete copy of the bigger mug (no elements are removed or rearranged). This fact for sure makes it easier to review these new releases, stay tuned for more pics and descriptions.

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
It seems that rather than introducing new locations, Starbucks decided to review the existing ones. You probably remember that Arizona has already seen a revised ornament and a mug, shortly after the new collection came out (it seems that “the Sand Hill State” was not exactly the nickname Arizonians recognized).
Well, as I said, Starbucks has gone even further and completely updated the design with the release of the brand new Been There Ornament – Arizona v3. As you can see from the comparison picture below, most of the design elements of the ornament were rearranged.… Read more
It’s not only the full-sized mug that gets the update. Here is Been There Ornament – Kentucky 2 with the name of the longest cave system in the world spelled right. Interestingly enough, I didn’t notice this misspell when reviewing the first version of the ornament, even though I had it written as “Mammoth Cave” inside the post.

You Are Here Ornament – Krakow is the second in a row city release from the YAH ornament series. Starbucks has been only releasing country ornaments recently, so it is nice to see that there is more than that. There are certainly many countries that we, collectors, would like Starbucks to come up with the ornaments for, but it won’t hurt if cities are added to the schedule too!
When reviewing the full-sized mug, I didn’t mention the dragon on the right of the front of the mug, so I would like to give it attention now.… Read more
Starbucks has opened two new stores in Vietnam, both in Nha Trang city. Both have promos during the first two days from the opening. You Are Here Ornament – Nha Trang was given as a gift with any purchase on April 28th at the Nha Trang Center location! At the time I am posting this, the day is over in Vietnam, but it is not too late to get the Bearista Key Chain for any purchase on Apr 29th.
Nha Trang makes it the sixth YAH ornament from Vietnam and raises the question of how is it possible to still release YAHs, with Been There Vietnam mugs already on the shelves?… Read more
