Starbucks in the Park

[maranara]

If you're at the Starbucks inside the parks, can you use a Starbucks gift card for your drinks? And has anyone tried to use Starbucks rewards for their drinks? (you know the "any free drink" rewards that you earn by being addicted to Starbucks drinks?) THANKS!

You can use gift cards at the location in Hollywood Studios

Gift cards, yes...but I believe only the Disney Springs location will allow you to redeem rewards.

Gift cards yes; rewards no. The Disney springs location does accept rewards as it is a full Starbucks and not a license location.

When I was there this past October I was only allowed to redeem a "free drink" at the Disney Springs location, but I was able to use my Starbucks app/gift cards to pay at all locations!

I think it's only the Disney Springs sit down location too.

You can use Starbucks gift cards or Disney gift cards to pay. I was also able to use an AP discount on the cool mugs!

Thanks! That's really helpful - I received a few gift cards as gifts that I'll save for our trip (because addictions travel with you... ) but I won't bother saving up rewards.

As others have said, you can collect stars but you cannot redeem within the parks. You can redeem at Disney Springs (both locations). You can use any AP discounts on Starbucks Merchandise but not drinks.

Can I use my Disney gift card to load my Starbucks card?? We may have got too much on the Disney GC hoping to move it to my Starbucks card.

Probably not...even though the ones in the parks are licensed stores, I don't see Disney giving up their future gift card revenue to Starbucks. Because once you load the sbux card it's no longer tied to Disney spending...so essentially they would be letting their money walk away.

You can also load all the cards to your account and then you don't have to bring them with you if you use the app. Or you can transfer all of them to 1 card.

as others have said you get the stars/points so they count to getting rewards if you have them linked to your account. I always end up with one reward and I use at home after which helps me feel like Im not spending another $4 just when I get back for my latte...

No, you cannot upload from Disney GC to a Starbucks card

That's my plan - I'm just not going to upload them to my account until we're ready to go so I won't be tempted to use them now.

In same vein, anyone know if the mobile ordering works in the parks?

 

[Chaoticsweetness]

You can use the Starbucks card & app in the parks. You cannot use the rewards and you cannot do the mobile ordering, but you can do both at the locations in Disney Springs.

It does not but would be the most amazing thing if it did.

I have definitely used gift cards at multiple locations in WDW, including Disney Springs. I did not attempt to use the Starbucks Ap, so I'm not sure about the rewards.
