Think this has been mentioned in a few place, but probably deserves its own thread.

Glad its going, it's been looking pretty dilapidated recenty. I assume we're getting another flower bed in it's place?

I'm surprised they don't use this as a festival booth? I can't imagine it would be too difficult to convert the kitchen. Could allow for them to add more seating/tables where the Bee-stro is currently for future festivals.

I think just take it down and open up the walkway space to enable better access to and from the WS promenade. This photo makes it very obvious. Put same plants around the tree, add a circular rail around it, pave the rest, and call it day.

Pretty sure it's been noted somewhere on here that the design is proprietary to Starbucks. Hope they just open up the area a bit more as it's really cramped.

TIL Starbucks has an exclusive on 'generic weathered shed' design!

Was this a pre build that was wheeled in or a permanent structure built in place?

The walls are only around the planters which would seem to indicate it’s staying… unless they have to move back the planters to roll it out.

You can obviously repaint/change the look of it, doubt Starbucks gets mad because they repainted the building lol

I don’t know if that’s true. Disney owns these locations outright, and the 4 other locations (in the parks) are designed by Disney and are unique. I doubt this Shipping Container was proprietary to Starbucks

I suspect it’s a game of telephone…the equipment inside was likely proprietary to Starbucks, even if Disney is the franchisee. Architecture is very rarely copyrighted.

Related, I suppose.

Photos from today - the exterior of the former Starbucks building has a fresh coat of paint and a queue has been set up.

100 percent this is going to be home of one of the non “country themed “ festival booths
