and quite a few people like something familiar after traveling thousands of miles to a place where nearly everything is different. This is why every Starbucks on property has a line from opening to close.

MSB is the thread, but the concern is will this trend continue in WDW. Will they use the Starbucks test and continue in that direction? Will we see Nathans take over Caseys Next, and so on.
And again, since you can't seem to stay on your own topic, TWDC has used outside franchises in the past, present, and will do so in the future....
the only reason they have a line is because their drink menu is complex and requires more time to make a drink than pouring a standard cup of coffee. This has been a problem for Starbucks for a long time and it keeps them from making greater profits. They have a problem cutting down the average wait time per customer. The Main Street Bakery also had lines to buy those delicious baked goods and they also had places to sit down and relax.

False.
we are right on point talking about the Starbucks takeover of MSB and the slippery slope it creates for WDW.
TRUE read any business journal about Starbucks profit issues. They actually toyed with the idea of automating the process of making drinks but I think folks like the barrista service better and would revolt agaisnt automation.

You seem to know an awful lot about Starbucks for a person who claims they are the devil incarnate at WDW. 
Sure. Being popular and enjoyed by millions has nothing to do with it.

THATS ANOTHER LIE, I NEVER SAID THAT. If you followed the thread I have said numerous times I like Starbucks coffee and their company. I state that on the first statement in the thread.
There's no slippery slope....
yes they are but that doesn't mean that Disney should have allowed the takeover of the Bakery, the should have given them the coffee rights and kept the baked goods.
WalMart serves millions should they turn over the disney store in downtown disney to Wal Mart next?
You mean articles like this?

Starbucks' Profits Surge Despite Sales Slowing Down
I beg to differ, every move a corporation makes is with purpose and test to see if they can go one step further.
And they've been using corporate sponsorships since the inception of the parks....

I think you made my point, thank you. Note SALES SLOW DOWN. they serve less people due to time issues. They raised their prices to compensate hence more profits.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP. ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS LOSING THE HOMEMADE BAKED GOODS FROM THE MSB.
LORD for the last time this IS NOT A CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP, do you understand the difference, I guess not. THEY TOOK OVER THE BAKERY IT IS A BAKERY NO MORE. ITS A COFFEE SHOP WITH PACKAGED CAKES SHIPPED IN FROM A SAN FRANCISCO CO. Starbucks themselves conceded this point. They actually wanted to chang the name of the MSB but backed off that idea.
