No seating......

But that's awful! It was so nice to get something and then sit down for a much needed rest. I guess they are expecting it to be very busy and needed all the space but then once again I'll say they should have in that case placed it in another part of the park where they would have more room.

Well, so much for Disney's honesty in saying it will still be MSB. It's nothing like the bakery was. Maybe it isn't like a regular Starbucks, wouldn't know, but it's definitely a complete change from what I've always loved about MSB.

Has nothing to do with the coffee - never drink it at Disney - but I will miss my fix of cinnamon roll in MSB. (and no, Gastons is not a substitute for me)

Not bad at all. There were one or two shelves and counters that stood out as being a little too sleek and modern, but overall a very nice job.

The really surprising thing to me is that all sizes of drinks are a snack credit. That will make for a REALLY LONG line.

I wonder how it's all going to play out. One thing I notice about any Starbucks is that they aren't very fast. Many of their drinks can be complicated. It's not just a "Pour the coffee and hand it over" kind of place. I imagine the extra room could be for the waiting while they make your drink? Time will tell.

And yes, I was surprised that they are all a snack credit too!

Which was one of my initial thoughts - those lines are going to be horrendous! I have already told the kids that they do NOT need vanilla bean frappuccinos in MK and DH can get his coffee fix another way.

Luckily, their need to be on Buzz first thing in the morning outweighs anything else.

Out of many disney trips we have easily gotten a table at MSB once maybe twice. There are never tables when we go so we just take our food down by the plaza area. We're not devastated by the great table removal.

It's a starbucks. absolutely no character except for the cm's dresses. In fact it looks much like the grab and go's at the resort. Definitely disappointed.

Good lord. The place looks great. It will have actual coffee vs the horrible stuff they used to pass off as coffee. They'll still have baked goods. The place will no longer be cramped, and will be able to handle large crowds.

There's no seating now, but #1, they're only really selling snacks, so it's not that big a deal. #2, the seating used to be somewhat crappy in the old MSB. And #3, during busy times there was never any available sitting.

Seriously, I just think some people can never be pleased. In all, it is a very good improvement. At least for those of us who actually drink coffee.

The refurbished MSB looks amazing! It looks nothing like any Starbucks I have ever been in (and I've probably been in 50-70 different Starbucks around the world) The seating isn't a big deal - there was never enough seating in there anyway and if it makes the bakery more efficient, wonderful.

So excited for this change! It's LONG overdue!

~This is a STARBUCKS, it is the ultimate form of deception for Disney to keep and promote this place as the iconic Main Street Bakery while the menu has been replaced with the full Starbucks menu.

~The Main Street Bakery offerings have been reduced to a just a few cookies, brownies or cupcakes -- which translates to whatever is left over from the other bakeries in the resort, and it's only available AFTER 11.

~Anyway, this is like going to Bob Evans for breakfast but 95% of the food is from McDonalds. If Starbucks is so fabulous just change the name! Please Disney, stop the gimmicks.

To me, this is no different than "Liberty Tree Tavern, presented by Stouffer's"= Same thing- logo on the sign, and plenty of the corporations products inside. It's not a gimmick. Starbucks logo is on the exterior is it not?

~LOL. Apples and oranges. What you just described is more like a restaurant serving Coke products. It's ironic because it was "supposed" to be the Main Street Bakery "proudly serving Starbucks" but this is clearly not the case. Disney have some integrity and change the name!

 

[CuteAsMinnie]

It certainly does look, and feel like any other Starbucks. Starbucks would not settle for anything less.

Not LOL, here the restaurant was serving Stouffer's items- the main reason you're there. It's not like serving Coke products, becuase you could have water.

Evidently, I'm crazy because I refuse to live in the past and not change. Change in inevitable. People can choose to be all sad about it and mope right down the middle of mainstreet USA, or they can get over it.

I know a lot of people are upset by the horrible violation of putting a huge corporate partner front and center, but guess what- Disney is a for profit business. I highly doubt any of the nay sayers around here will quit going.

Not like any Starbuck's in my area, that's for sure.

Come to southern nj. It's bigger than the normal Starbucks but this looks very much like the one nearest me in Haddonfield NJ

 

[kittyninja]

I for one am SUPER happy!! I love Starbucks and I think they've done a great job combining MSB and SB!! My school "proudly serves" Starbucks...and all the drinks SUCK!! I'm sure that Disney has had the Starbucks people train the staff and that could be one reason for the bigger Starbucks logo. Don't know, don't really care!!

I've personally never been in the bakery because one time my mom got coffee there and we decided to stick with the pre-packaged stuff in our hotel!!

Also I'm glad to see the prices being only regular Starbucks prices!! I was expecting $5+ for my usual White Mocha!!

That said, I probably won't go here every morning of my MK touring days!! Because I'd rather have my coffee done and be on my way!! Thankfully Shades of Green serves Starbucks!!

It will be really nice to get a yummy Starbucks in the parks though!!

To Disney:
