food IS a theme park
Starbucks is set to lay off employees and close certain stores as part of a $1 billion restructuring plan, according to ABC News.
Starbucks in Disney Springs
CEO Brian Niccol sent a memo to employees on September 25th, advising them of the news.
There is a BIG change coming soon to Disney World! Disney’s Hollywood Studios is about to look a lot different, and you only have a few days before the changes take place.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There are quite a few construction projects going on at Disney World right now including Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, and the Monsters, Inc. Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Well, another construction project is about to begin in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
A NEW Disney Starbucks tumbler has just released online!
Fall Starbucks Tumbler
This one is perfect for fall! While we have spotted this tumbler out in the Disney Parks, it’s FINALLY available online at the Disney Store. You’ll want to grab it ASAP because it could sell out fast.
There are quite a few closures in Disney World that you will want to know about if you are heading to the most magical place on Earth soon!
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
We don’t want you to be caught off guard by the fact that your favorite attraction, area, or restaurant is currently under refurbishment or closed for good, so we are rounding up everything that is closed in Disney World this week.
Oh Zeroooooo!
Jack Skellington and Sally
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of our favorite Halloween (or Christmas?) movies, and this new collaboration with Starbucks is going to sell out FAST! If you’re here for the tumblers, grab them fast because they might just disappear like Oogie Boogie.
‘Tis the season for The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Jack Skellington and Sally
From Halloween through Christmas, it’s Jack and Sally’s time to shine! We start to see them EVERYWHERE on merchandise this time of year, and that’s the case with the newest Starbucks tumbler as well.
It’s pumpkin spice season, and if you understand what that means, you’re probably a Starbucks fan. You might even be picking up a pumpkin spice latte in Disney World as we speak!
It is the most magical time of the year in The Most Magical Place On Earth, after all. The Halloween decorations are up, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has started, and all the spooky snacks and merchandise have hit restaurants and stores. Speaking of which, if you DO love that whole pumpkin spice and Starbucks vibe, your next Disney Starbucks tumbler just arrived in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
There are two NEW closures this week in Disney World affecting hotel pools!
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
If you are heading to Disney World soon, you need to know about these closures. We don’t want you to be surprised when you head for your afternoon swim or relaxing day by the pool.
Starbucks fans, rejoice! A long-closed Disney World location has REOPENED!
West Side Starbucks at Disney Springs
We’ve seen A LOT of closures and refurbishments lately at Disney World. So it’s a REALLY big deal to us when one of our favorites fully reopens! Luckily for us, Starbucks fans, Disney Springs once again has two locations you can visit while shopping, and there’s something DIFFERENT about this one now.
We’ve done nothing but think about food and drinks all week. That’s because the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially kicked off, AND The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom has officially opened.
Frozen Rose at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
So yeah, we’ve got food and drinks on the brain (but, really, when do we NOT have food and drinks in mind?). Well, while we’re thinking about it, we’re going through all the Disney World restaurant menu changes we spotted this week. Now, we’ll warn you, we’re a little sad that this round of updates saw one of our favorite snacks disappearing: the Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie in EPCOT.
