◆ Latest milestone
Starbucks opened at the Downtown Disney (now Disney Springs) West Side on May 30, 2014, debuting as a Starbucks Reserve location with Clover single-cup brewing and a full La Boulange pastry menu.
The Starbucks took over the space that previously housed a combined Haagen-Dazs and Wetzel's Pretzels building, whose shops were relocated to kiosk-sized locations near DisneyQuest.
That's every change on the record at Starbucks since 2014.
