You've never had Starbucks?! Wow.

The whole point is to try to have it fit in with the theme of the area around it...if they're going to put a Starbucks in a Disney park it shouldn't look like every other Starbucks.

I think I remember the MK menu pictures had the DDP snack credit symbol next to the drinks. Friends of mine just came from a trip where they were on the DxDP (which they didn't like - too much food) and they said their last afternoon was spent loading up on drinks and food in the MK Starbucks to use up all those snack credits.
Try a Caramel Macchiato or Pumpkin Spice latte...yum!
Yes they are on DDP. Here is the menu http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/foun...us/03sep2013-fountain-view-starbucks-menu.htmI think I remember the MK menu pictures had the DDP snack credit symbol next to the drinks.

I agree with you, I don't think it should look like a Starbucks. I'm just saying it's odd to see a Starbucks in that color scheme and style.
Yes you can use them on the baked goods also.

I don't like coffee or tea, but their non-coffee fruit drinks are pretty good, as are their hot chocolates and hot apple cider. Not items I'd have to get often, but nice options to have available, especially if you're with a group of coffee lovers and want something to drink as well.

Gotcha.
My local Starbucks does have the wood paneling (I guess you'd call it?) that the Epcot one does, but other than that I totally agree that it's very different. I really dig the bubble tile.

Sorry can't help you on that one. My guess would be no, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks for the reply.
As I understand things the WDW locations are unique - I believe the "regular" locations are staffed by Starbucks employees (but WDW are staffed by Disney CMs) yet the "we proudly brew" locations and/or locations like the ones inside Barnes and Noble do not accept Starbucks gift cards (but the WDW ones do).

Whatchu talkin' about Willis?
It looks very good in my opinion. Different from every other Starbucks I've been to. I think the design is appropriate for future world. Whether or not it's entirely accurate or true to the vision for EPCOT Center is another story. I'll be purchasing my iced white mocha there in the morning for sure.
I still wish they offered more unique products only available at Disney parks.

its still not a starbucks location though, I have a buddy who works for starbucks who has repeatedly mentioned how some people literally stay in the establishment all day sometimes not even ordering anything.

The pig cafe is starbucks... but unlike the choice Disney made with the mainstreet locations it offers more than just the basic starbucks (tho there was talk that the menu was pairing down).
People just camping out in seating is a problem at all disney table service. It's in part why they went to the escorted seating experiment at cosmic rays.
