King Triton's Tip Tuesday: Starbucks @ Disney Parks

On the heels of a Starbucks binge I thought I'd impart some of my Starbucks @ Disney Parks wisdom to y'all.
Firstly, yes, all of the Disney Parks have a Starbucks. And no, none of them have indoor seating. Disney Imagineers have done a great job of disguising the world-renown coffee shops with the theme of each park. This can sometimes make it a little hard to find them. See below for locations.
Frequently, the popular coffee shops are crowded, especially in the mornings, as coffee can be such a vital component to a good start to your day. While waiting in one of these lines one morning I had a brilliant idea of utilizing the Starbucks Mobile App's "Mobile Order" option. Genius, right?! Not so much, this option is not available at any of the Disney locations. Sigh, so much for that one.
But don't despair there are still options to make your much-needed coffee run more convenient, so you can get to what you're really there for... the rides!
For example, you can still pay with your Starbucks Mobile App, so you won't have to dig out your wallet. You cannot, however, redeem star rewards at the Disney locations. Also, if you are a Disney World Resort Guest then you can pay with your Magicband. This will charge it to the credit card that you have on file with your resort. If you are on a dining plan then never fear because they accept that too!
Something that I've always liked about all Starbucks stores is being able to get free iced water. What's even better now is during very hot and/or very busy days they will actually put out a self-serve iced water station in the coffee shop. They provide disposable cups but you could always fill up your water bottle there!
And for those Annual Passholders out there you receive a 10% discount on Starbucks merchandise, NOT on food or beverages.
Below is a list of each park's Starbucks location and the alter ego (i.e. the signage you'll want to look for). All directions are from entering the parks from the mail entrance.
Magic Kingdom: Main Street Bakery - Located on the right side of Main Street, to the left of Crystal Arts & across from Disney Clothiers.
Epcot: Fountain View - Located to the right of the fountain in Future World, in front of Club Cool.
Hollywood Studios: The Trolley Car Cafe - Located on the right side corner of Sunset Blvd & Hollywood Blvd.
Animal Kingdom: Creature Comforts - Located on the lefthand side of Discovery Island, passed the Pizzafari & the entrance to Discovery Island Trails.
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your week!
