Disney has today announced that the new Starbucks at Disney's Hollywood Studios will be named "The Trolley Car Café."

Opening in February 2015, the new Starbucks will open in the former L.A. Prop Cinema Storage store on the right side of Hollywood Blvd. The building is currently walled off for the remodel.

The Trolley Car Café will be the third in-park Disney operated location at Walt Disney World, joining the Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom, and the Fountain View at Epcot. There are also two Starbucks operated locations at Downtown Disney.

Because of how far those construction walls come out. It makes me wonder if they are placing a stationary trolley car out front.

I was wondering if CMs enJOYed (dreaded) this as much as others have reported. If doesn't appeal to me, being the heathen that I am, but it sure does sell out fast.
