Starbucks Disappears From Disney, Closure Officially Confirmed

Disney guests looking to grab their favorite Starbucks drinks will be out of luck at two popular locations, as the closures have now been officially confirmed.

Starbucks and Disney: A Longstanding Partnership

For years, Starbucks has maintained a presence in Disney Parks across the globe. At Walt Disney World Resort, visitors can find Starbucks at Disney Springs and inside Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme. Disneyland Resort also features Starbucks locations in Downtown Disney, Disneyland Park, and Disney California Adventure Park.

Aside from serving coffee, Starbucks has also been a major player in Disney’s themed merchandise offerings, releasing exclusive tumblers, mugs, tote bags, and seasonal collectibles that quickly become must-have souvenirs for fans.

Disneyland Paris Starbucks Locations Close Without Notice

Across the Atlantic, Disneyland Paris Resort has offered Starbucks locations not only within its shopping district, Disney Village but also at select Disney Resort hotels. However, two of these in-hotel locations have now vanished from the property.

Disneyland Paris Resort’s Starbucks locations at Disney Hotel Santa Fe and Disney Hotel Cheyenne have officially ceased operations. Disney Dining previously reported these closures were planned as part of a refurbishment, and guests are now confirming the shutdown is in effect. X (formerly Twitter) user @pixiedust_be shared this update:

With Starbucks no longer an option at these resorts, guests may be wondering where to get their caffeine fix. Though no direct replacement has been announced, the Rio Grande Bar at Disney Hotel Santa Fe is stepping in with expanded offerings.

@pixiedust_be also posted a photo of a new advertisement displayed outside the closed Starbucks location, writing:

“Disney Hotel Santa Fe is advertising a new lunch menu for the Rio Grande Bar in front of the closed Starbucks location. #DisneylandParis”

No Word on a Reopening Timeline

Disneyland Paris Resort has not confirmed when Starbucks will return to Disney Hotel Santa Fe and Disney Hotel Cheyenne. In the meantime, guests seeking a Starbucks fix can visit the location in Disney Village or head to the nearby Marne-la-Vallée transportation hub.

Thankfully, Disney still offers plenty of dining options throughout Disneyland Paris Resort, including numerous Quick Service and Table Service locations in Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney Village, and the various Disney Resort hotels.
