Jill -- Just as always, you can find hard-scooped ice cream at the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor next door to Main Street Bakery. They've always had floats, sundaes, etc, and now th...

This feels very Universal Studios to me although I don't doubt they'll make a very good profit and that matters to the execs obviously. Me I only care about my expierience and with...

Oh.... & my comment about the 21st century was to point out exactly what you stated. Main Street USA is supposed to be turn-of-the-20th century NOT the 21st century. The Starbu...

Prof. Brainard - agree wholeheartedly that this should be a 'Disney experience' & not a 'Starbucks experience.' You write quite eloquently & have summed up exactly what som...

My family & I abhor Starbucks. They are monopolizing the coffee industry & their coffee is just plain disgusting. It is a disappointment that Disney would allow Starbucks...

I was not an anti-Starbucks person going into this. I thought MSB needed some change, but they definitely changed the things that were not needed- THE MENU! If it ain't broke, don'...
- Meredith on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
Also, I think people should definitely boycott Starbucks. It's just not disney and hopefully if they don't get as many customers as the bakery did, disney will reevaluate the Starb...

Shame on Disney...no cinnamon rolls at the bakery and no indoor seating. Very disappointing news....
- Meredith on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I am very disappointed in Disney. Starbucks just does not fit in. For all of you saying it is the 21st century, yes but is Main Street? No. Plus to get rid of all the Disney pastri...

Want want want that glass. Why isn't some smart local making a few bucks and selling them online?...

I am thrilled! My hubby is a big Starbucks coffee fan, and I really like the Refershers. Plus, I prefer Tazo tea the the Goldpeak by Coca Cola they have. You can't please everyone,...

I love a good cup of coffee and the fact that Starbucks was coming in would be fine if it were understated and fit the theming but I feel that this is to big and the fact that ther...

Boy, it's a good thing we don't have Coca-Cola signs EVERYWHERE in the parks....

What about the nestle chocolate chip cookies? There is not one pastry I like from Starbucks, never tastes fresh and is more akin to vending machine foods...maybe too many preservat...

I have waited for so long to have a piece of home at DL/DCA. I don't see what all the negative fuss is about. I don't see what all the fuss is about. No one complained about the Ne...

I live in Chicago where I can walk to several Starbucks. I don't drink coffee, but people are particular about their coffee and drinks. Hundreds of people making 6 figures in Chica...
- Lynn on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
Prof. Brainard, Yes, you are right on. The problem is, it's the "Starbucks experience," NOT the "Disney experience." THAT is EXACTLY the point! (but I still don't like the coffee!)...
- Lynne on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I agree that the ambiance is lost in the bakery. All of the warmth and atmosphere is gone. As far as I'm concerned, this is the second casualty of this kind. The same thing ...
- Prof. Brainard on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
The Starbucks website has a PR article trumpeting Starbucks's move into the theme parks. It is titled "The Starbucks Experience Comes to Disney Theme Parks."
That sums it up rat...

- Prof. Brainard on Disney Food Post Round-Up: June 16, 2013:
Haha! I love these old menus from the parks! I was also thinking the same thing as JennM regarding the choices. Of course, in the 1950s, most parents followed a policy of "kids eat...

Except for a few who dislike Starbucks coffee, I think most of those who are disappointed in this interior space, would agree that the coffee itself will be an improvement. That is...
- sigh on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
Complaining about a Starbucks seems so petty. It's coffee and if you don't want it, don't buy it! Simple as that. I think it's great that Starbucks drinks are part of the dining pl...

Perfect addition to the Magic Kingdom! Walt would be proud for the forward-thinking! He never stood still in time, always finding new ways to make life happier for his guests. Toda...
- Jill on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I'm just wondering where we can go to get ice cream at MK now? Not the ice cream they serve at the carts, but real ice cream in a cup or cone or even a root beer float. Any ideas...
- Lynn on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I think the new Starbucks is a miss for MK. It appears as if this idea has been in the works for a while and now that it has become a reality, it's too late to make the impact hope...

SO excited to get a Frappacino treat when I have the big treat of heading to WDW in January!...

Wow! Look at those kids' menu selections! Lamb chops with mint jelly? Sole? If ONLY today's menus featured these kinds of real foods for kids!...

I am happy to not complain about this. I am very happy to see that the inside of the main street bakery looks just like it did. Nothing too drastic there. Also I hated coffee at...

I love the idea even though I am not a coffee drinker per say, they have many other drinks I like. I actually can't wait to go the Christmas party and have a caramel apple cider wh...

An interesting comparison can be made by looking at the interior of the bakery on Main Street at Disneyland Paris. This is the sort of theming that I expected of the refurbished WD...

Sounds like this might also be gluten and dairy free...if so, YUM! I will be ordering it next visit....
- Janel on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I really hate they no longer have seating indoors, otherwise I love the transformation....
- Joyce on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I am also disappointed. It would be great to have a decent cup of coffee at Disney, but Starbucks is not the one. I think that the reason I don't like it is that it tastes as if ...
- James on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
I was one of the many who cringed upon hearing the news of the refurbishment of the bakery. It's not as bad as we all made it out to be. It looks nice.
That's just my opinion,...
- JWJ on FIRST LOOK! Main Street Bakery Starbucks Offers Soft Opening!:
Am deeply saddened by this.
We used to stop in the bakery on MK mornings, get a cinnamon roll and milk, and sit and watch the crowds rush by.
No more. No cinnamon roll, and nowh...

We may have "2X4 hit-you-in-the-head advertising", but it happened LONG before Starbucks ever reached a Disney campus.
I love the, "yes, Disney also mass-produced their pastries...

Walt would have hated this. DW knew everyone loved the cinnamon rolls from The Bakery, they changed it anyhow. Also they have no regard for us since they have taken away a place ...

I'm exactly in line with Prof. Brainard. Color me deeply disappointed. I'm almost angry about this. Not because we have lost some site-specific food. I'm angry because it appea...

My husband and I tried LeFou's Brew on our trip in November, and we both loved it. I'm a big passionfruit fan, and loved the foam almost better than the drink itself. I, too, mix i...
