Review: We’re Checking Out Starbucks New Safety Process in Disney World with their “Welcome Back” Drink!

Good morning from Disney Springs! It’s been a long time since we were here!

We’ve been walking around checking out what’s new (umm, the new Homecomin’ Shine Bar & Social, anyone?!?) but now it’s time to duck in line for a quick Starbucks!

Starbucks has placed markers for where guests should stand. The line wraps around itself allowing plenty of space for everyone waiting to socially distance.

We noticed this Starbucks location still had Reusable Cups for sale BUT…

…a sign at the cash registers said Starbucks is not allowing the use of these cups at this time.

When it was our turn, the friendly Starbucks employee who took our order was wearing a face mask — as was everyone behind the counter.

And here’s what we’re getting! It’s called the Welcome Back — a specialty drink Starbucks is serving today made from mango, dragonfruit refresher, coconut milk, strawberries, blackberries, and pineapple ginger syrup topped with golden ginger whipped cream!

Starbucks still had its card readers out as a payment option, but if you want to go touchless, download the Starbucks app! That way, you can pay without touching any buttons — the employee will just scan your phone instead!

Instead of everyone waiting around the window area for their drinks to be made, a Starbucks barista passes each person their drink.

And here it is — our Welcome Back! It’s such a pretty bright PINK drink against the deep blue sky! It looks so good, even the LEGO Loch Ness Monster is eyeballing it! Paws off, Nessie!

Talk about such a warm welcome back — except that this is a cold drink!  The fruity flavors pair so nicely! If you’re looking for something refreshing, definitely check it out!

Welcome Back

The Welcome Back costs $6.85 before tax, and we hope it sticks around for a while so that you’ll be able to try it next time you visit Disney Springs.

News! U.S. Movie Theaters are Starting to Re-Open

As United States businesses begin to reopen, movie theaters are starting to come back online as well.

AMC Theatre

Even though AMC Theatres has announced that its locations plan to remain closed until closer to the release dates of films such as Tenet on July 17th and Mulan on July 24th, other movie theaters across the country are slowly beginning to reopen.

As reported by Variety, as of Friday, May 15th, there were about 200 movie theaters open in North America, which is nearly double the number of open locations than the week prior. Making up a large portion of the total, there are about 150 drive-in theaters open, while about 50 brick and mortar locations are open.

The states that make up the majority of open theater locations are Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. However, many other movie theaters may take a similar approach as AMC and remain closed until closer to summer movie premiere dates.

Have any of your local movie theaters reopened? Let us know in the comments.
