Hi Mary Catherine,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel; I think we could be friends based on our mutual need for caffeine! This mama needs her Iced Caramel Latte, and I think it tastes even better with a view of Cinderella Castle.
I often use the Starbucks mobile app to pay for my Starbucks purchases in the parks, but please note that while you will earn Stars for those purchases, you will not earn Bonus Stars, and you may only redeem Rewards at the Starbucks location in Disney Springs. Unfortunately, the mobile order feature has not yet come to the Walt Disney World theme parks, but we Starbucks lovers, like Rapunzel, have a dream that this feature will eventually arrive. While you can mobile order meals at select Quick-Service dining locations around the Disney parks, the Starbucks locations are not options at this time. Keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for updates, as mobile order in the parks is becoming very popular (I love it for getting that iconic Dole Whip!). They run the Main Street Bakery location very efficiently, so don't worry too much about the wait.
Mary Catherine, I’ve got some bonus whip topping for this informational coffee drink we’re creating. First, don't miss the gorgeous "You Are Here" mugs available at Starbucks locations in the theme parks. They even come in the cutest miniature Christmas ornament options (I always buy one and write the year on the bottom for our Disney tree). Second, the
Disney Springs Marketplace Starbucks location has rolled out a cool feature: you can order your beverage and have it delivered to you while you shop! Simply mobile order in the app and then call (407) 279-2794 and tell them your name and where you are shopping. Is that amazing Tomorrowland-level technology of tomorrow, or what?
Wishing you a magical – and caffeinated! – vacation,
Robyn
