I think we need to start a fund to buy Pete a complete set.

Haha! I don't think he'd be too pleased.

I don't know about that. These do look pretty cool.

Ummmm, you should have heard the "hard time "Pete gave me about drinking from a starbucks mug prior to a podcast. I think he has a visceral reaction to the logo.

Epcot and MK mugs are on eBay. The highest bid price is $53 for both mugs with $12 shipping. Even I am not that crazy about them. Of course, some optimistic folks are asking $80 or more for the set without any buyers so far.

We all knew Starbucks would find a way to get the protesters into their shops. What better way than to offer Disney collectibles?

But these are park decorated.


In any event, these are out both in WDW and DL now.


-insert shameless plug here- We WILL have them available at this year's NJ DIS Meet for Give Kids the World!

It was mentioned on the podcast that only the MK and Epcot Starbucks mugs were currently available but I've seen the mugs for AK & DHS up for auction on eBay.

I've also seen both the DL and CA ones on eBay.

I just saw it posted on Twitter that the Epcot mug was taken off shelves because they had the purple monorail on it. The purple monorail was involved in the fatal crash years back. So they are putting a different monorail on there. Until then it's not on shelves.

Yes, Epcot mugs have been pulled from the shelves as of today. Read more about it here:

Starbucks should have done more research before releasing the EPCOT mug.

 

[jcb]

This isn't just Starbucks. Starbucks could not have designed the mugs without Disney's approval. The mugs have too much of Disney's intellectual property on them.

Starbucks should have done more research before releasing the EPCOT mug.

I'd be very surprised if Disney didn't have input into the final design.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

It's my understanding that the designs were completed as a collaboration between both Starbucks and Disney. Obviously both sides goofed big time here.

I wonder if it was so much of agoof but just trying to use the colours from the park maps if you look at one future world has all of its markings in purple well world showcase has it in yellow and green.

Its possible that the department approving the use of Disney's IP, which is probably in CA, might not have been aware of (or thought about) the accident.

Hopefully they will redesign it with a new color. I understand why they pulled it. Still would like to get an Epcot cup
