Since you've seen DCA, how would you compare the square footage they'll have to work with at DW MSB with DCA? That is my main concern. The Bakery seems so small even now, will they have the space to do it right?

I drink hot chocolate and definitely do not need a Starbucks to jump start my day. I need Disney magic and that's what the bakery is about. Starbucks food has never been any good no matter which one i try. I hope they listen to the people who pretty much pay them. Will this prevent me from going to WDW? No but I will not spend money at a Starbucks. Nope.

Most likely there will still be turnovers and chocolate cake. Most of the bakery case at DCA was non-Starbuck's items. You will not be spending money at Starbucks because it will not be "Starbucks", it will be a Disney establishment with Disney cm's that serve Starbucks drinks rather than Nestle.

The square footage is larger there but everytime I went in most of the tables were empty. Most people did a grab and go.

I am hoping for a nice combination of the two. Main Street Bakery is such a classic and I trust that Disney will do it right. I personally love Starbucks so I will enjoy being able to get a chai latte and a giant main street bakery cinnamon bun.

After all McDonald's coffee tastes so much better then that bitter tasting, outrageously priced Starbucks.

The March 2007 issue of Consumer Reports compared American fast-food chain coffees and ranked Starbucks behind McDonald's Premium Roast.[181] The magazine called Starbucks coffee"strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open".

~LOL. That Consumer Reports review is hilarious! I think McDonald's would agree with you!

further, i'm not usually one to bicker about what disney does and does not do, because either way, i'm still going to flock to the parks and have a blast.. but I'm on board with the ones who are against this. Not that I don't like Starbucks, I think its great! I just think it'll seem a little out of place on Main Street, and the MSB was a classic..however, I'm sure I'll adapt

~Great post!

~Well, who can argue with that, it looks like Starbuck's has a "strategic alliance" with every beat up gas station in America. So, naturally Disney was the next logical step!

Just because someone has an opinion, sarcasm and rude comments are acceptable, since when? Why when presenting a point the whole garbage, collective stereotype about opposite side is dropped on a person. Brunette popped in just few last pages and it is easy to follow her few posts, does she deserve this mess? I popped a bit earlier with many posts and repeated my position many, many times, including that I actually like SB and do not support hysteria of canceling trips, did it matter? I got just the same mess on my head just because this is how some people are. If someone do not like your opinion, which I and Brunette are entitled to, we, personally will be taken apart. Instead of staying on topic, personal attacks, rudeness and sarcasm is in place and it is actually against Dis rules. So yes, we can stay off the thread but why should we? We have opinion and open for discussion. If someone cannot keep it on adult level and according to rules maybe they are the ones who should stay away from thread. After all, it is discussion board, place for conversation and not fights to take place.

I posted the dis guidlines a few pages back and I find it hilarious you're now quoting them to us now because you can't seem to get over yourself and you obviously think your opinion rules all. Take your own advice.

There won't be. Check out the pictures from the cafe at DCA that sells Starbucks:

I think it's terribly sad. All those memories of getting to the park early (or late) and grabbing those delicious sticky buns will be gone. Now Starbucks will come in and destroy those precious memories. Just like when carnation stopped serving fantasia ice cream in Disneyland. Now it will just be a sad memory to tell my children one day.

Notice how they blend with surroundings, should I say themed SB.

Main Street Bakery is not going away. My understanding is that Starbucks will be there like Edy's is at the ice cream shop. There are name brands all over WDW. Everybody take a deep breath.

I heard Applebee's is taking over Cinderella's Royal Table.

I'll be able to get my chai tea and SB's banana bread while others can still get whatever bakery items they already like.

My only worry is that the lines will be ridiculous but we'll see.

My issue is going to be the line too. The DCA location gets very busy in the morning and mid afternoon. I was hoping it would be elsewhere just to divide some of the morning traffic!

It won't be, check out the DCA location and you'll get the idea of how it will actually look.

It's much bigger then MSB and gets very busy. However most people, as a previous poster said, are grabbing their coffee and food to go. The tables are generally empty. Sometimes mid afternoon it gets a little busy with people sitting for an afternoon break.

At the DCA location, there is more Disney food on offer than Starbucks food. It is two SB shelves to three Disney shelves. The combination at DCA is awesome.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Edy's and Coca Cola aren't nearly as bad as the evilness of the Starbucks corporation!

I don't know, ask the people who hate Starbucks so much. I'm sure exactly it's so much what the corporation has done. If it is, they should hate Nestle far more which has proven human rights violations against them. If people want to talk about greedy corporations, I don't think Starbucks is the worst one out there.
