Main Street Bakery to Serve Starbucks Coffee

[ParentsOf4]

Using your logic absolutely nothing should ever be removed (or in this case MOVED) from the parks. Because it could be "tradition" to someone somewhere. Do you realize how silly that is? Nothing would ever change.

I rarely agree with @WDW1974 but hell, maybe walking to the back of the park before consuming a massive cinnamon roll might do some WDW guests good.

Right, and a vacation at WDW is all about logic.

There are plenty of changes made at MK all the time. Many guests simply don't care or notice those changes. As I've suggested in the past, Main Street USA and Cinderella's Castle are theme park "holy ground" and perhaps the only places at WDW where Disney needs to exercise care when making changes.

Please recall the emotional firestorm created when the MSUSA Starbuck's was announced. Nobody cared about the one going in at Epcot; it was all about the MSUSA location. The firestorm was so strong Disney had to announce a clarification. During that firestorm, time and again, WDW fans repeatedly expressed concern about the cinnamon rolls, to the point that Disney needed to issue a statement to the effect that the menu at the "Main Street Bakery" had not been determined.

Disney's entire business model is built around creating an emotional response in its customers. Without cinnamon rolls, some fans won't view it as the "Main Street Bakery" but as the "Starbuck's that caused cinnamon rolls to disappear from Main Street USA". Very possibly, some will feel betrayed. Sure, several months ago Disney claimed the menu was undecided but, in their hearts (in other words, where Disney makes its money), some will feel betrayed by the apparent deception, perhaps believing all along that Disney never intended to bring back cinnamon rolls. Effectively, they might feel they were lied to.

Finally, if Disney was concerned about the health of its guests, it would eliminate about 90% of its menu. Walking an additional thousand feet is not going to make any appreciable difference.

But for sanitary reasons we will not fill mugs

Right or wrong, one of the most commonly expressed concerns with the Main Street USA Starbuck's was that the cinnamon rolls would no longer be available at that location. I recall reading posts to that effect on pretty much every website. There even were posts on the highly censored official Disney blog.

I am now having horrible visions of Starbucks' opening day, with a queue down to the Main Street USA Train Station, full of people thinking "Ooh, the Main Street Bakery is open again - let's continue our tradition and get that cinnamon bun that we have been getting for X amount of years" - 30mins-1hour later "Sorry, we do not stock cinnamon buns here, they are available at Gaston's Tavern in Fantasyland" - I would imagine that Guest Services would have a queue that day if that happens. I hope the new staff at Main Street Bakery have been prepared for this.

Re: Cinn Rolls...

The ones at Gastons are the same as what the bakery was serving prior to closure. Not sure why they changed recipe or prep, but they did. As such, they are just Okay now.

Even if Disney changes course on this, I can't see myself braving the lines at Starbucks for a cinn roll, even if I was craving one. I would just head to Gastons, wait on a shorter line, AND have a place to sit and eat.

The bakery is dead. WDW filtered the news to us slowly to soften the blow. But I think we can pretty much see now, there is no MS Bakery anymore.

to @emich88: will the cheese plates be available at the MK location?

So much for reducing demand for ECV's. Oh well.

Take the train to the Fantasyland Station. Saves you some steps if you are worried about that!

Lol, so dramatic. "MS Bakery, you're dead to me..." lol sorry, just a bit ridiculous.

Pillsbury has wonderful cinnamon rolls in a can.

Only if it has a cupholder. I need someplace to store my 530 calorie venti Mocha Whip Frappachino on my way to get my 491 calorie Cinnamon Roll!

That's exactly what my wife said.

Location.. Location... Location

Also, what's potentially going to happen is since they have moved them and they're not quite the same for some reason, the Cinnamon Rolls are not going to sell as well at Gaston's. Someone in F&B management with no knowledge of the situation and/or someone in purchasing will make a decision that since they aren't selling, they should be replaced with something more popular...and that's how things die with no regard to tradition or history in a theme park. I'm hopeful that someone in the know will take notice and put them somewhere back on Main St, or give them back to the SB Bakery. Also, if enough people ask at the Bakery, there's a good chance they'll end up back on the menu. So, ask for them when you get your latte!

I take it most people have not seen Louis CK's bit about cinnabon? I recommend it on youtube.. NSFW

Silly comment.

This entire website is frivolous. We get that. But this is a passion for many of us. And the de-unique-ification of Main Street is bothersome.

I think this thread should be called "Listen to your customers, you know, the ones that keep you in business."

No cinnamon rolls ?! I suggest we mobilize at MSUSA train station & march ( with torches in hand of course) towards MSUSA Starbucks, burning down everything. Its time we "stick it to the man, um, mouse " .

SO I am back from my first day at the Bakery. I will say that no one should be disapointed by the themeing. It fits perfectly with Main Street USA. WDI and Starbucks worked together to also create a storyline on how we became to be. I wont reveal this story right now.

I don't want you to get in trouble for revealing too much, but I'm going to take a guess and say the storyline has to do with the story for the Emporium expansion about how the Emporium proprietor went on a big European vacation and he learned about their fancy new kinds of coffee there.

I can say the Emporium owner has nothing to do with this... staying in character, I will say that the proprietor is a new resident to Main Street U.S.A... Him and his wife purchased the old bakery and remodelled it after something that reflects their passion, and past life... that is all I will say. (Think where the Strabucks name/ logo came from)

When listening/ reading the story, you have to imagine Starbucks is not some big company. You have to put yourself within this time period.

We are hoping the storylines to the other three Starbucks branch off of ours at MK

will they have some sort of vegetarian sandwich? there used to be a really good one with mozzarella pesto and tomato on ciabatta.
