If you're coming from the Mickey & Friend's parking lot, the tram will drop you off right near security, across from World of Disney. You'll have to backtrack a little to get to Starbucks, but it's pretty close. The red box is approximately where Starbucks is located in DTD, the blue boxes are where the security check points are located, and the yellow box is the tram drop-off/pick-up area.
If you're coming from the Toy Story lots, the buses drop you off on the Harbor Blvd side of the Esplanade (opposite side from DTD). You'll either have to go through security and then exit the Esplanade to get to DTD.
Otherwise, there are Starbucks in both parks (but the lines are often very long in the morning and they don't use the "order ahead" feature on the app).
So best bet is to park at Mickey and Friends Yes I have that order ahead app..... BEST thing ever!! First time we have stayed off site so we HAVE NO idea what to expect with parking. Parking is making me quite nervous! Thank you so much for the info!

I don't think it'll make a huge difference in terms of saving time whether you buy your parking voucher ahead of time or right there at the parking lot entrance. The cost to park is the same whether you're at the M&F structure or the Toy Story lot.
