Fountain View Ice Cream closing in early April for Starbucks conversion

[ToTBellHop]

I think it looks nice...certainly more 2013 futuristic. Now if only Club Cool could die a True Blood-esque death.

I think Starbucks is a better offering in Epcot at that location but I beg to differ, I love Edy's ice cream, have several pints in my fridge right now calling my name, Edy's and generic ice cream very different. The Nestle Mickey ice cream bars are pretty darn good ice cream too.

To each his own. I don't personally feel that anything sold in a grocery store is "good ice cream". I prefer ice cream from shops that know the cows their cream came from.

Its looking no different than every other city corner in the country. Dunkin Dougnuts to replace Innoventions next across the way ....... Someone yank down those poles and panels and wires already. Its not helping things any.

Don't get everyone's hops up of a dunkin'.... Aside from sum of all thrills, it would be the only thing worth visiting for!!

It actually looks like it's coming out rather well. I like the sleekness of it. It looks much better now in my opinion. I'm just happy to see those construction walls come down.

Excited to see it next year.

I am not trying to be funny but how is a Edy's ice cream place exciting? Its no different than any other name brand ice cream and another rip off from a national brand like starbucks at MK

It looks a million times better. Good upgrade. And if they are serving starbucks, who cares?

I know, right?! I hate those things. I call them the butt-ugly kites.

The lighting inside appears to be really ugly in that picture, IMO. I hope that isn't the finished product.

What do you mean by 'another rip off from a national brand'?

I'm having a hard time seeing any difference between the Starbucks/Edy's placement and teh old Kodak/TWA/McDonalds usage.

Just being sarcastic. I'm not thrilled about the Starbucks either

It looks better in person. The lighting is not yellow as it appears in the photo, it's a very cool white. It looks nice. I'm not a fan of the font they used though on the name.

 

[dreamfinder]

Looks like they stuck with a constant color scheme which is good. The font's color definitely match the siren. Not sold on the font yet, need to wait for a @WDWFigment night shot to make it shine and see how it really looks. Hope the inside has some personality and doesn't look like a bland CS location. The others were well done, but going off the wall portions we can see, looks like it might be a tad on the sterile side.

 

[Horizons1]

Yea, I just snapped this picture with my phone. Nothing fancy.

 

[JEANYLASER]

yeah I can't wait for next year too!

 

[Goofnut1980]

I want them to get rid of that blasted pink neon. 1980 called and wants their neon back... Why isn't it lit with color changing LED's that could change colors on the buildings and roof line???

EDIT: Secondly, at least the building is getting freshening with the Starbucks install...
