food IS a theme park
Are you ready to say goodbye to your favorite Starbucks drinks in Disney World?
Starbucks in Animal Kingdom
Well, it comes with the territory because some of those faves are only seasonal, meaning you can only get them at certain times of the year. We’re mourning the loss of those beloved fall drinks, like the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. We’re also saying goodbye to those holiday drinks we love. But it’s okay — because new drinks have taken their place.
Happy Holidays from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Christmas at Animal Kingdom
It’s officially December and we’re celebrating with all kinds of new treats around Disney World. From Present Peppermint Brownie Pops to the ‘Olu Mel Holiday Float, there are so many ways to satisfy your sweet tooth this month. Come with us to Creature Comforts to try the new mousse dome creation!
Don’t count on a Disney World restaurant to have the same menu as the last time you visited.

Why? That’s because Disney World is always changing up menus, adding seasonal foods, and changing prices. For example, the Fantasmic! dining package just went up in price. But that’s not the only big change we had this week in the world of Disney dining: some restaurants also just changed their menus.
We have good news and bad news.
Magic Kingdom
The good news is that park hopping is returning to normal in Disney World in 2024! The bad news is that a TON of price increases have hit the parks and hotels. It’s something we see time and time again, but this time — it impacts our beloved Starbucks.
There’s just something special about walking down Main Street, U.S.A. with a cup of Starbucks in hand.

Is it us, or does coffee taste better in front of Cinderella Castle? Whether you’re rope-dropping that seasonal latte or grabbing a mid-day coffee pick-me-up, there’s one thing you have to know about getting your Starbucks in Disney World.
It’s been a HUGE week for food in Disney World.
The Starbucks fall menu is here!
First, we have to talk about ALL THE NEW FALL Starbucks drinks that arrived this week (and we’ll get to that). We also visited Casey’s Corner, one of our fave counter service restaurants, and ate EVERYTHING there. We also ate a hotdog with a boozy shake (#sorrynotsorry). In the meantime, though, Disney World restaurant menus were changing, so let’s see what’s been updated!
If you can survive a week in Disney World without caffeine, you deserve a trophy, a medal, and a street named after you.
Starbucks
But seriously, making it through multiple days at The Most Magical Place on Earth without a little pick-me-up would be incredibly challenging, and that’s why there are PLENTY of coffee options around the parks. Each Disney World park has multiple restaurants serving coffee, and it feels like you can’t sneeze without hitting a Joffrey’s coffee kiosk. But today, we’re here to talk about the Starbucks spots…and the problem with them!
DFB is all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World. ALL kinds of Disney food. And that means making sure that families with special dietary concerns (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) have the information they need to create safe and delicious meal plans for their vacation.
Have you wondered about vegan dining in Walt Disney World? We’re happy to share — vegans CAN eat well at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially with a little advanced planning.
Plant Based Sausage
For starters, in October 2019, Disney announced that every major table and counter service restaurant in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort would offer plant-based options! You will find menus with plant-based options that are available throughout Walt Disney World, these items “are made with no animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey. They are made with ingredients that come from plants, including grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.”
Walt Disney World vacations can be exhausting due to early mornings, late nights, and lots of walking! To keep your energy up, you may need to refuel with coffee on your trip, and you have quite a few different options!
Creature Comforts
Coffee and Disney go together like Donald and Daisy, and over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll find plenty of choices no matter what kind of coffee fix you’re after. Of course, there’s the obvious Creature Comforts (the Animal Kingdom Starbucks location), but those lines can be long, and you might be looking for something a little different.
