Main Street Bakery
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.....

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!

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

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.

A Tradition
When we get to the MK at park opening, one of our favorite things to do is get our fast pass, then head back to the bakery for breakfast. Sometimes, you get a show right out the window. .... "Ding Ding Ding goes the bell"
My husband just LOVED the french toast there but they haven't had that the past few times.
We get Cinnamon Roll, ham and cheese croissant, bagel, pastries, etc... then we all dig in. There's always enough for everyone to sample someone else's breakfast and to be honest... that day, we usually skip lunch.
Our family even got a Magic Cookie about the size of a pizza last time we were there. The cashier said she looked for a family of 4 each day and picked us one day. I'm sure a Barrista may not get that chance while making a Mocha Venti 1/2 soy 1/2 cream with cinnamon sprinkles (you can tell I only overhear this from movies) to be Disney Magic.
I will be truly saddened if they change this to Starbucks. I find Starbucks pastries' dry and tasteless. I don't mind putting the Starbucks coffee in there. But it will make the line even longer (and its already difficult). And if they change the offerings for bakery items, I'll be crushed.

I'm thinking Disney should come out with a press release to clarify everything. MSB is such a beloved spot by so many, they need to ease the fears the passholders and regulars.
The other thing is this: if they wanted to bring in a coffe joint, why didn't the bring in a good one. Everything thing Starbucks makes tastes burnt and nasty. Anything else would be better, IMHO.

After rereading the Disney Food Blog, I still think they are going to mesh the two similar with what they did at DL. There they serve both Starbucks treats and Disney treats. The baristas are dressed Disney style to be in theme with the location they are in.
As far as the coffee, I'm looking forward to it and I know my kids will be on line for a mocha frappacchino.
Personally, I'm reserving judgement until more information is out.

Check what they did at DCA and also think of Casey's Corner. In both cases, architecture that fits into the park with the sponsor's name as a form of plaque. At DCA there's a huge sign fir F,F &P Cafe/Bakery and much smaller Starbuck's signs. And look how small the Coke signs are on Casey's.
I don't think there's much worry about that one. The Starbuck's name will be there but the name will be Main St. Bakery. And, the coffee has to be better.

Very disappointed to hear about the Main Street Bakery closing in January. I WILL NOT be stopping by the new Starbucks. I can get Starbucks anywhere up here and it's nothing special. Overpiced and overrated in my opinion. The Main Street Bakey has a lot of character and charm. This is just another example of Disney losing touch with its hardcore customers - the people who come back year after year and look forward to stopping by places like the Main Street Bakery. They just don't care though and that takes away some of the magic. Walt liked to make a buck just like everyone else, but do you think HE would have done something like this?

Have to agree 100%+ with you Gator!!!
I would much rather Seattle's Best, Dunkin Donuts, or so many other coffees over StarYucks!! Yes, I know they are the biggest and have a tremendous following, but that bitter, burnt flavor just turns me off...ALMOST as much as the Nesca*bleep* in the resorts....

For me, the new blonde roast, 'Veranda', is a vast improvement. Hopefully it will be offered at Disney.

Main Street Bakery
Can you imagine all the Disney Folks that have not found their way to this site to read about this up-coming change and disruption to our lifestyle on Main Street USA. Next year they enter the turnstile, pass under the Train Station, head straight down the right side of Main Street towards the entrance to what USED to be Main Street Bakery and all they SMELL is over-priced coffee. Sorry....no chocolate croissants, no crumb cakes and no warm cinnamon rolls, ONLY to find Mocha', Latte's and a chicken sausage breakfast wrap. Now aren't they gonna be UPSET!
I'm so glad that in 27 and 30 and 33 days when we walk down Main Street USA, we can hang a right, right into the Main Street Bakery. Sad...but for the last time.

Okay. I agree that changing it completely from the Main Street Bakery to a Starbucks is a bad call. But as crazy as we have seen Disney be in the past, I am pretty sure that no one in their right mind would completely remove a staple like TMSB and replace it with Starbucks. I'd be willing to bet it will be more of a Main Street Bakery/Starbucks hybrid than removing the bakery and its beloved snacks for good.
Trying to keep the faith.
