Disney today confirmed that Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom is being converted into a Starbucks location, as we speculated several weeks ago:
Creature Comforts is being re-imagined and will also be serving Starbucks coffee and espresso beverages, as well as Frappuccino blended beverages and signature breakfast sandwiches and pastries.
Tom has been regularly visiting the Walt Disney World® Resort from the time he was 4 months old. While he has made countless visits in the last 28 years, he did not become a truly active member in the Disney fan community until the summer of 2007, when he decided to launch the WDW News Today website and podcast. Tom has since become an Orlando-local and is a published author on Walt Disney World.

Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks
I don’t mind Starbucks in the parks, if for no other than reason than the removal of Joffrey’s. If I’m paying three bucks for a coffee, I’ll take Starbucks over Joffrey’s every single time.
Joffrey’s isn’t going away. With the exception of the Starbucks locations, Joffrey’s provides all other coffee at WDW & DL.
Fair enough. Overall, it’s very nice to have an option other than Joffrey’s in these locations. Starbucks fits nicely in that mold, and I doubt many people would argue the quality of integration/construction on the current Disney Starbucks locations.
The standalone location at Downtown Disney is phenomenal.
Oh no! Starbucks coffee is awful. I had it in the Magic Kingdom and it was completely tasteless. I actually asked if they’d put the coffee in as it was so weak. If I want coffee now, I’ll jump on the monorail to the Polynesian and go to the Kona Cafe – they serve REAL, flavourful coffee that is hot. The stuff at Starbucks is lukewarm milk with very little added coffee.
