If they kept the Cinnamon Buns at the bakery would it change your opinion of Starbucks going in
Once upon a time (10+ years ago) there were wonderful cinnamon rolls at the MSB. Then they changed to the more generic, corporate cinnamon roll. Its just not the same but that boat sailed a long time ago.
I honestly don't think this has much to do with the cinnamon buns or at least it doesn't for me. In my opinion, the Main Street Bakery is a tradition representing old-time America. My issue with the change is that it is now going to be a commercialized vendor from 2012 - one I can visit anytime when not on vacation. I rather not see that when I am supposed to be immersed in another era. The cinnamon buns and other baked goods are a bonus as they are wonderful treats that fit with the theme of an old-fashioned bakery.

I guess this is where my perspective prevents me from appreciating the hue and cry. I have never thought going to WDW was supposed to immerse me in another era. If I want history, I can go to DC, or Virginia, or Europe.

I can see where people take issue with the introduction of Starbucks, given that the idea is to create a mood back to the early 20th century on Main Street USA. I would say that's a fairly good size lack of continuity.
But if WDW hasn't immersed you into another era/environment at some point -you should probably ask for your money back.

Yes.
Edy's 1928, Coca Cola and Kodak pre-date 1900. Starbucks represents a chain of stores - the others do not( to my knowledge) unless you count Fotomat, which sold Kodak film. I think that's why some are having such a hard time "swallowing" it.
Hey! Those are 2 of my favorite rides!!!If we talked about net negative changes over the last 10 years, I could speak volumes on several subjects, not just on cinnamon rolls. Lights of Winter, the Yeti, Mr Toad, the vacuum of space in future world near the energy pavilion. What mystifies me is why Disney changes the popular attractions and leaves the snoozers, such as Ellen's entropy adventure, and the "great" movie ride. I know sponsor choice has some influence but Disney seems to cave to the almighty sponsor $$$$ very easily.
Still, I keep going to the parks, and whine when I don't get to go.
