Refurbishments Coming to Both Starbucks Locations at Disney Springs

Jul 03, 2024 in "Starbucks West Side"

Posted: Wednesday July 3, 2024 7:25am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney Springs, Walt Disney World's dining, shopping, and entertainment destination, is about to enhance the coffee experience with upcoming refurbishments to both Starbucks locations.

Specific details of the refurbishment and potential closures during the process are yet to be announced, but we understand that the flagship West Side location will be a major update.

Starbucks at the Marketplace

Opened on May 19, 2014, the Marketplace Starbucks became the third Starbucks location at Walt Disney World, following the openings at Magic Kingdom's Main Street Bakery and Epcot's Fountain View. This walk-up location, right in front of World of Disney and opposite the waterside stage, is known for its convenience and quick service.

Unlike other Starbucks locations, the Marketplace Starbucks does not have interior space or seating, making it a grab-and-go favorite for Disney Springs visitors. The outdoor setup allows for a quick coffee fix before diving back into a day at Disney Springs.

Starbucks at Disney Springs West Side

The flagship Starbucks at Disney Springs West Side opened on May 30, 2014. Spanning 4,000 square feet, the Westside Starbucks is a full-featured café offering both indoor and outdoor seating, providing a comfortable space to relax with a coffee while overlooking the Lake.

Inside, guests can find a variety of seating options, complete with a fireplace on the covered patio for those cooler Florida nights. Along with the typical Starbucks menu, this location offers sandwiches, salads, and Starbucks Special Reserve coffees brewed to order using the Starbucks Clover system.

great, looks like the unsanitary pickup process will continue with everyone handling everyone's order sitting out.

Call me old fashion but, I liked it better when it was A Wetzels Pretzels stand during the DTD era..

Apologies I misspoke. They should build a Starbucks Reserve Roastery at Disney Springs. The reserve location at Disney Springs is nothing like the Roastery locations. There’s only 6 in the world at the moment. Seattle, NYC, Chicago, Shanghai, Milan and Tokyo. Those are extremely impressive and would be a great addition.

Disney has provided the dates covering the refurbishment: Please note: This location will temporarily close for refurbishment beginning September 9, 2024, and will reopen September 23, 2024. Guests are welcome to visit the Starbucks at Disney Springs West Side.

You mean they won’t serve them even though they have them?

Ehhh, they may serve Reserve coffee, but I would absolutely welcome a full Reserve location with their speciality drinks and food menu like the ones found in major cities.

I won't be surprised if they remove the Clover in the remodel. They've been transitioning away from the Reserve coffees in domestic stores outside of the large flagship roasteries, and they've removed the Clovers and Reserve designations from all of my local stores. They have been rolling out a "Clover Vertica" - which is more of a replacement for their drip machines and urns than anything else.

I’ll also mention that they take great pride in serving the reserve coffees here - at the Starbucks at Disneyland I have been refused reserve coffees multiple times for every excuse you can think of.

The West Side Starbucks at Disney Springs is already a Reserve location, with the Clover system.

Would be wonderful if they built a Starbucks Reserve location at Disney Springs. Those are very impressive and would fit in great there.
