Don ’ t Sleep on These Starbucks Concoctions at Disney Springs
BY ALLYSON KOERNER

Coffee is a necessity when visiting Walt Disney World . You definitely need that boost when you ’ re running around trying to squeeze in every drop of fun .

Good thing there are plenty of Starbucks locations , including the Starbucks Marketplace at Disney Springs . You can find this particular spot in the Marketplace section right next to World of Disney .
The grab-and-go Starbucks first opened in 2014 , offering an easy pitstop as you shop around the Springs . What makes this Starbucks even more unique is that there are specialty drinks for unique occasions , like the change in season or new movie releases .
Starbucks and Disney Springs rotate specials monthly , so if there ’ s a limited-time drink you want to try , get it as soon as possible . Let ’ s take a look at four of our favorite specialty drinks previously featured at the Starbucks Marketplace .
ROBERT BROWNIE JR . The Robert BROWNIE Jr . was a mocha frappuccino with a — wait for it — brownie piece on top , along with whipped cream .
It was made with heavy cream , toffee nut syrup , and a blended brownie . What made this drink even more special was that it was served with a fork ! How else were we supposed to eat the brownie ?
This was initially served around fall 2020 for a limited time and only came in a Venti size .
LOVE IS LOVE The Love Is Love drink was not only a lovely concoction but one that celebrated Pride Month in June 2020 . It didn ’ t even have coffee in it !
Love Is Love was a violet drink mixed with strawberries and topped with a strawberry sweet cream cold foam . Better yet , you could purchase it with a special refillable cup that was covered in confetti and had a bright blue lid and rainbow straw .
Starbucks ’ “ violet drink ” is a very berry hibiscus refresher swirled with coconut milk , ice , and blackberries . It was both sweet and delicious !
WELCOME BACK After Disney Springs reopened in May 2020 following its temporary closure due to the ongoing pandemic , the Starbucks Marketplace released the non-coffee “ Welcome Back ” drink .
It was a vibrant fuschia color and blended mango dragon fruit refresher , coconut milk , strawberries , blueberries , and pineapple ginger syrup .
