Starbucks Comes to Walt Disney World in 2013 with Magic Kingdom and Epcot Locations

What’s next? McDonald’s in Magic Kingdom? Oh wait. They did that before. Maybe a car dealership or a Walmart to replace Tomorrowland. As much as I will like having “real” coffee in the park, I like the escape from the real world when I’m there even better. Don’t they get that? Does it really need to replace the bakery? Can’t they just serve it there and have some modest signage? It’s all about the money and beating last year’s earnings.

I am not happy about this at all!! Fine put it in Epcot, but Magic Kingdom needs to be left alone. I really wish they weren’t doing this.

If it’s replacing the bakery it means no more WDW baked goods! Just generic starbucks baked goods. What’s gonna happen to the cookies for the ice cream cookie sandwiches??

Can’t speak for everyone, but it just feels a tad less… magical, I guess. It’s not like Disney doesn’t traditionally have outside companies in the parks… obviously Epcot is (was) practically based on sponsorship. I have no problem with Starbucks inside the park. But any time you replace a one-of-a-kind location… especially one that has potentially formulated thousands of memories (I know I have wonderful memories of eating cheesecake with my mother that are instantly brought on by the smell of the Main Street Bakery) with a chain store, it’s a little bit upsetting. I think you’re wrong about it not changing the face of the parks. That is exactly what it is doing. Regardless of how well themed, they’re physically converting one thing into another. Is it worth breaking out the pitchforks for? Probably not. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be sad that something I am fond of that only exists in one place in the entire world is going away to make room for something I can find on every fifth street corner in any given city.

Well, here’s one who WON’T be buying. I don’t like Starbucks coffee – it’s way too weak for me – so I’ll be avoiding this place. A real shame as I adore the bakery as it presently is.

I hope this doesn’t mean that Starbucks crappy coffee is going to replace all the coffee in the restaurants around WDW. Not all of us out here like that overpriced, tastes like muddy water, fuel oil.

This is very upsetting!!!! Where are we going to get MK bake goods and candy??? I love the Main street Bakery!! Im not happy with this at all. Why not set up something out sie of the gate for guest that like this coffee, dont take away the Main street bakery. What would Walt Disney think if he was alive???? I dont think he would approve!

you can still get the cinnamon buns at Gaston’s Tavern in the new Fantasyland and the ice cream cookie
sandwiches at the plaza pavilion.

Very disappointing. Walt Disney dream built a ferry or monorail lagoon entrance, a train or “parting of the curtains” to transport one into a fantasy world free of reality and trite commercialism. So what do current leaders do: put one of the most redundant and explicable commercial part of fast-paced reality right on Main Street USA. It’s defilement. It’s pathetic.
