The Coffee Stain in Main Street U.S.A.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea closing.



Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride closing.



Stich’s Great Escape existing.



These three moments are the biggest travesties in Magic Kingdom’s history. Seriously. Honestly. Getting rid of the all-beef corn dogs in Casey’s Corner is an extremely close fourth place. However we have a new travesty and rather disappointing moment that to me ranks nice and high with the other entries.



Starbucks in Main Street USA.



Alright I am fully aware that Disney has had a history of sponsors and companies throwing their brands in the faces of the guests passing by. But here is the difference: these companies didn’t evolve the experience to match their service and their style. Starbucks did. The Main Street Bakery is no longer a bakery despite keeping the name: it is literally a Starbucks inside Magic Kingdom.



There is no specialty Disney product in this bakery. There are no Disney-exclusive or Disney-specialty beverages here. Hell, they even took out the freakin’ tables that once decorated this establishment. All the bakery products are Starbucksy, the entire menu is Starbucks, and the only way you can tell its Disney is through the costumes of the cast members and with the old-school pictures that you see all over Main Street (P.S. all the classic classic baseball pictures in Casey’s Corner remains one of the most underrated details in all of Walt Disney World).



It really bums me that Disney allowed for another company to smudge their print on Walt Disney’s creation. I am fine with other companies being in the company, but at least try to evolve into the damn theme of the area. Dole did a great job Adventurelanding it up with their pineapple floats and nice classic setting. The so-called bakery here feels out of place from the second you walk in to the second you walk out.



Don’t expect me to be ordering here ever again, for I am not sure its something Walt Disney himself would like to see. Especially when Disney has more than enough money to have to depend on a coffee company to improve the reputation of the food in the Resort.




At least Disney up the Starbucks logo.
