We’ve Got Bad News for Coffee Lovers Visiting Disney World

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

One thing about Disney World that can be a little annoying is that so much of the park experience is outdoors, which means you’re exposed to the elements (like random Florida rainstorms) and critters like squirrels, and even the occasional bear.

These bees aren’t so bad

But one little particular group of critters has been causing problems FOR YEARS because these critters have a serious sweet tooth. Yep, we’re talking about bees, and well, the bees are back in Disney World and causing problems with your coffee order.

We recently visited Magic Kingdom and noticed that Joffrey’s Revive, which is an outdoor coffee kiosk, had a familiar sign up on its counter. The sign reads: “Bee-ware: Syrups and sauces are temporarily unavailable to reduce the attraction of bees to this location.” Yep, the bees are creating chaos at one of our favorite coffee kiosks.

The sign also indicated that the kiosk was serving a limited menu. For now, all you can get there is drip coffee, plain lattes, cappuccino, and plain cold brews. This is to keep the bees from swarming all over the kiosk. You see, those bees are drawn to the sugar in the syrups and sauces. This might seem a little ridiculous, but they can get BAD and get into the drinks…and well, you get the photo. Save the bees! But keep them away from coffee.

The bees have also caused chaos during the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, but then again, the festival’s unofficial mascot is Spike the Bee! Yep, bees are a hot topic in Disney World. However, they can cause problems throughout the year.

If you’re looking for coffee with syrups and sauces in Magic Kingdom, you’ll probably just want to hit up Starbucks at Main Street Bakery, which is indoors and free of bees.
