As I finish my second cup of coffee today, I wanted to mention how I really feel about having Starbucks on Disney Property. It's not that I don't like Starbucks , I actually really like going to Starbucks. Meeting up with friends enjoying time with my girls there is great. But going to Starbucks at Disneyland or Walt Disney World is just wrong. From the time I can remember whether it was my parents getting coffee on Main Street or my husband and I, its been Disney Brewed Coffee in a Disney Styrofoam cup. Whatever brand they used I was happy with. It tasted good wasn't too strong ,inexpensive and I could always get a free refill as long as I still kept my Disney Styrofoam cup (later it went to paper) .
Was there such a huge cry for a commercially high priced coffee? Or was there a need to keep taking away bits and pieces of Disney memories? First the Carnation Plaza where my parents used to dance, where I bought my first root beer float at 9, and now simple coffee! (Sorry, still upset about the Carnation Plaza closing).
Bringing the outside world into our Disney Parks is way too far. I know that I'm not alone in this and this subject has been blogged over and over. But the moment it opened in Epcot I had to speak my mind. So as we stroll through our Disney Parks we now see the Starbucks signs, and its a bit disappointing.
Just a note to Disney, STOP.
We love you as you are. We don't want to be part of everything! We love all the improvements and all the enhancements in the Parks. So please stop with Starbucks, don't even think about bringing in Subway, or Cold stone Creamery's.
