Main Street is no place for corporate branding

The title cracks me up.

Disney is no place for corporate branding? Seriously?
What do you think Disney World is? It's the master of all branding!

It's really quite funny. I have never had a cup of coffe in my life. Had someone give me a coffee candy when I was little and it was so bad that I don't even like the smell of coffee. But, I get to sit and read, listen and view to so many complaints about WDW and one of the biggest and long lasting complaints (besides the busses..) is the coffee. IMO, Disney has listened to it's customers. They have tried to improve upon one of their weeknesses. Now, those same customers are whining about it? Somebody needs to wise up, and it isn't Disney.

I've said this at least 5 different times in another thread!

This is exactly what people asked for! Naturally Disney is going to partner up with a well known/popular coffee chain.

Or maybe they watched Austin Powers a few too many times.

HA! I like that theory better

I love posts where people say Walt wouldn't like this, or Walt would turn in his grave.I, nor anyone else knows exactly what Walt Disney would do. He was a visionary, he said the parks would never be finished, always changing..forever growing with the times. In 10 plus years (or sooner) are some people going to be mad because Starbucks is being taken out and XYZ put in?

Exactly. I reckon if Walt was still alive the Tobacco shop would still be on Main St, it wouldn't be a no-smoking park and Walt would be sitting on his pretty backside IN STARBUCKS drinking coffee and puffing on his pipe, a very happy man

I don't smoke but I would sit beside him and shoot the breeze if he'd let me!

I'm hoping that they release some Starbucks/Disney Merchandise. How cute would the Starbucks bear be with Mickey ears?!?

Oh that's just great. Now they'll have two rope drops, one for the rides and the other for Starbucks!! Outta the way there Snowflake and Buddy, Granny needs her caffeine fix and this Hoveround is gaining on your six!

Yep! This is why I was hoping for a separate location so it would divide the morning crowd up. Some people racing for characters and rides, others for Starbucks, others for MSB.

Maybe they will add this to FastPass + (or whatever it's called) 180 days out, you call Disney and say "I'd like my Venti Double Shot Latte, 2 sugars, made on soy milk" on 7th June 2013 at 9:13am please."

I was unsure about Starbuck's moving into MK and Epcot, but thanks to this thread I am reminded that corporate branding was already there. I guess I think Starbucks is is way more corporate than what was already there. I will wait to judge till I see it in person.

As far as coffee goes, Disney is lacking good coffee. I am the person who needs it right when I get up. So unless I pack it myself I have to wait until I get into a park to get good coffee. It would be good to have good coffee outside the parks.

Everyone was hoping for that in California, but so far nothing. I'd love a SB Disney mug.

Me too! Maybe now that they're branching out and realising that they are a success, it will happen.
