Main Street Bakery

[nicholsbears]

Just heard the Main St. Bakery was closing in Jan. and reopening as a Starbucks. Please say its not so. Theer is a Starbucks on virtually every street in America...but only one Main St. Bakery. mmmmm...the choc. chip cookies. I know this is a business decision by Disney; Starbucks is probably paying a small fortune for this location; but some things should be sacred. What's next ?...Citibank Tower of Terror ? Chase Haunted Mansion ? Not everyone is in love with Starbucks.

While I agree that Starbucks is probably the closest thing we have to an invasion of brain eating fungus, all is not lost. It has been reported that the menue will keep Main Street's signiture items and the theming will not change much.

Where has this been reported? From what I have read, no one really knows if the signature items will stay.....

I love love love starbucks, but i don't want them to take away main street bakery, why can't it still be main street bakery now serving starbucks coffee.

Why couldn't they build a new building for Starbucks? There is so much going in the new Fantasyland, why not there? Starbucks to me doesn't go with the theme of Main Street...This is a bad call for Disney!

How about Coke at Casey's across the street? Or Kodak when it sponsored the camera shop? Or Sara Lee when it sponsored the bakery on opening day of WDW? It's just a sponsor and there have been sponsors on Main St from the opening day of DL.

I could not have said it better!!! I do love hot cocoa but I love Main Street bakery more!! I hope it stays the same, kinda feel like it was sold out....

I think I may be the only one who doesn't really mind all the various changes to Disney. It's still Disney World, my escape from reality. I'm good with that.

I agree! This makes the most sense to me and it's the best of both worlds.

From about 3 posts up:

UPDATE 11/12: Here’s some additional information about our Walt Disney World Resort Starbucks locations. The Main Street Bakery will keep its name and theming when it reopens in early summer. It’ll also continue to serve Disney favorites like cookies, brownies and seasonal cupcakes, in addition to Starbucks signature beverages and other items.

Thats good about the signature items and theming. Hopefully they keep the bakery smell also.
