The fourth and final in-park Starbucks at Walt Disney World will be opening on June 18 2015.

Located at Disney's Animal Kingdom in the former Creature Comforts gift shop on Discovery Island, the new Starbucks will offer all the beverages, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches served by the other three in-park locations.

Critical hat: I like the result and I'm sure I'll love it in person, however, I think the sketches looked better. Small differences, like the shields over the lights in the pic come together at the bottom, in reality they're open. There is no AC duct in the art (or, it's painted dark brown), but of course it is part of the structure that could not be eliminated. The wall paint colors are different. Just little things, however usually Disney surpasses the expectations set forth in the drawings. And, as a last opinion, the outside needs a touch more color ;)

Best themed Starbucks on property

I don't like Starbucks, but I can convert! OH DISNEY. This is absolutely beautiful. The DETAIL. I LOVE IT. Can I justify standing in Starbucks for a good amount of time on a Disney trip? NOW I CAN. Animal Kingdom, you continue to amaze me.. and give me hope that Disney still know what they are doing. Now following Joe Rohde on instagram.. I'm in love. Animal Kingdom is my favorite park. I'm drooling.

Not a Starbucks fan at all. In fact I would do without my morning coffee if they were the only thing available. BUT, this looks fantastic in a park that has been getting fantastic updates! Enjoy the coffee people but save me one or two of those mugs for me.:) Oh and one of those Tree of Life cupcakes also. Thank you.

Is Starbucks now sponsored by the letter "C" ? I'm not embarrassed to say "I'm lost on this discussion" ... nor do I really want to understand. :bored:

So a 4th "C" for the lifestylers to get lathered up about Cupcakes Citrus Cornbread -banned word- Idiocy

Multiple reports on Twitter say they are not.

They have the Zebra cake! And I want to try the gigantic Tree of Life cupcake... looks so awesome!

Poop cupcakes? This has to be made up

I hope that they eventually sell miniature versions of those. It would look really nice on my desk.

agreed they're a must

Even the duct work has a 'coolness' factor (no pun intended). Really impressed with Disney's committment to this increasingly amazing park.

I love the Creature Comforts sign with the monkeys drinking cups of coffee. We will be there in about 4 weeks, hopefully the Starbucks DAK mug is still on stock. That is a must have on my list.
