It was yummy! And the cup had more Disney branding on it than the napkins at WDW! Flame war in 3...2...1...
Serious question (from the UK - never been to a Target) - can you not buy Nescafe coffee in Target?
Yes you can, but what is served at WDW is a coffee syrup fed through a machine. This makes a bad coffee even worse.

I think Dole Whips suck, but that doesn't mean they aren't a Disney favorite.

Target has an agreement with Starbucks to have them as their own in-house, coffee shop. Many Targets have essentially mini-Starbucks locations in them. In the grocery section, Target offers a variety of prepackaged coffees from several manufacturers. (My wife is a coffee fan, I couldn't be of any help letting you know what they stock, though.

Kindly point to where I said they weren't a Disney favorite, please.

I don't really see the harm in this... Someone may have mentioned this in the billion pages for this post, but McDonalds used to sell fries on property... Whats the difference... I don't even drink coffee, but know that Disney's coffee is something to be desired. Shoot, its instant at the resorts.
If they follow what they did in DCA, which it looks like they will, it will be a plus and not a swap.

This makes me so mad! Why do you they have to get rid of Main Street Bakery? And how are they gonna make Starbucks fit the theme of Main Street without it looking completely unnatural? I kind of hate Starbucks anyway so I've been opposed to them adding it to the parks in the first place.. It just doesn't seem like it'd fit the Disney vibe at all.

Yea, that gave me a bit of a chuckle as well. Overpriced is a perfect fit.
Many times throughout this thread people have mentioned, "I can get Starbucks anyplace, I want something that is unique to Disney". And then Cinnamon Rolls pops up. You guys do know that Cinnamon Rolls are available everyplace too, don't you? I thought the Rolls there were good, but nothing spectacular. If Cinnamon Rolls are not fresh and soft and warm..they are nothing special. That's what I found at "The Bakery", not fresh, not soft and not warm. I liked them, just wasn't overly impressed. That said, I believe it has been said, again and again and again and again that we have no reason to believe that they won't still be available at that location. Shouldn't we panic more when something actually does happen instead of diving off the deep end before we even know what the plan is?

This is easy, since they won't be making it look like a Starbucks at all. Since they jsut refurbed the exterior it probably won't change at all with the exception of maybe a few small Starbucks signs. The may reconfigure the interior but it will stay consistent with the themeing of Main Street.

Well that makes me feel slightly better about it. I just worry whenever Disney makes changes like this..

Look back through this thread at the pictures of how this was handled at DCA, they should help reduce your concerns.

I am assuming you didn't read any of this thread. If you want an answer to the question of fitting in read a few pages. I am being serious. Not trying to be a smart a$$.

The original question was posted as What constitutes a Disney favorite. That's what I was responding to.
What's with all the y responses on this thread? Seems like some NEED a cup of coffee.
