The opening date has been June 18th ever since I started training (early April). Not sure where these other dates came from. But, again, we will open on the 18th with no delays!

See you real soon
Looking forward to some coffee.Thanks for all the details emich88 - I'm looking forward to photos when everyone has a chance to get in there.
Quick question (may have come up already but I didn't get through 80 pages) - is the old bakery apple turnover on the menu? It's always been a favorite for my family
Thanks!

We start test meals on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. You must have a meal ticket in order to enter the bakery. The bakery will indeed on the 18th. There will be no delays. No matter what happens, we will open our doors on the 18th
I will be opening each of the days I mentioned above. It will be exciting!
How do you get a meal ticket? Luck?
I believe they are previews and test using cast members, management, contractors that worked on the project. basically invited guests.

What does having a meal ticket mean?
Edit: never mind, question answered.
They were handing out tickets that allowed you to get 1 item (beverage, cold bev or hot bev) free.
Nothing to do w dining plan

Am I the only one, who's heart was shattered by the 'no seating' news? I mean, I've brought my food from Casey's, or just sat in there, almost every time I'm at Magic Kingdom, since I was an infant...
Very saddening.

Also no cinnamon rolls. I'm holding out for the triple layer chocolate cake...

No. There is a mix of Starbucks pastries as well as Disney pastries including the peanut butter cupcake as well as a red velvet cupcake. No cake. Brownies too.

It is about double the size of a normal Starbucks. The seating area appears to have been taken out to double guest capacity.
You do have a valid point. There are fewer and fewer spots where you can just sit in the air conditioning in quiet at MK.

Nope. Distributed randomly. Testing ended at 1. Mostly CMs & a few lucky guests.

Disney Food Blog report from inside the Main Street Bakery (with pictures):
http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2013/...-street-bakery-starbucks-offers-soft-opening/
Interesting to note that there is a picture of a cinnamon roll on the menu, yet the tester that's reporting to DFB said that they were told they'd need to go to Gaston's to get a roll (as @emich88 said upthread). Hmmmm......

Yeah unbelievable, the area was already hurting for not enough seats/tables, anything, now even less. a fiasco in the waiting, I dont know what they are thinking anymore.
I was working testing today and it was a success. We originally had 300 test tickets given out, but one of our leaders stood out on main street and handed out an additional 200 to random guests... Not sure if he will be doing the same tomorrow, but if you are in the right place at the right time, you are lucky!
The cinnamon rolls are on the mini handout menus, but those menus are a little older and I'm still told that we will not offer them

Attractions Magazine has a video.

It looks really sparse. Looks like every other Starbucks. Does anyone have pics prior to the change? I really hope DL's version does not look like this. The DCA one has a great setup though.

Yes, it does look very sparse. However, all of that sparse area is expected to be taken up by guests waiting in line.

Let's just hope the new decor is fitting with Main Street & not just another carbon copy Starbucks. On the up side, at least we'll be able to get a decent cup of coffee in WDW! It was all rot-gut dishwater before. ;-P
