Starbucks Trolley Car Cafe on Hollywood Blvd at Disney's Hollywood Studios?

[Master Gracey 5]

My only concern is how much of the patio space behind the shop they would potentially take away. I like the bench behind the shop and just off of Sunset as a place to relax for a few minutes and eat an ice cream. The old car there helps provide a buffer and the plants make it slightly more tranquil. Putting Starbucks tables there would be a shame.

Adding tables...well, assuming they had seats, would be unprecedented. WDW never adds seating.

I would have nominated the Writer's Nook for a Starbucks - it's one of my fave places to rest my feet, have a cuppa, and peruse some books. But the coffee there is none too good IMO.

Still, if this new location is chosen, I HOPE that Disney will allow indoor seating areas. Make it a real coffee house. People will enjoy the park much more if they have a spot where they can cool off, rest, and gather their energies for further explorations.

No, but neither did medieval Europe and we still wouldn't want a Taco Bell next to Cinderella's Castle.

But I suppose a specially-themed "Ye Olde Taco Belle" may work.

Taco Bell is a much better fit in Adventureland as anyone over the age of 30 can attest.

I doubt they'll remove Starring Rolls considering it's small size... Why are they building a Starbucks if they have The Writer's Stop?

Why did they just build a Joffrey's kiosk at Pixar Place if they already had The Writer's Stop/Starring Rolls/the pending announcement of Starbucks? People like coffee, and more and more people are choosing "real" coffee over "blah pot of coffee that was sitting on warming plate for hours" coffee.

So you're vehemently against anything to do with Disney owned properties such as STAR WARS and MUPPETS being expanded to improve the parks, but when it comes to improving coffee selection, Starbucks gets the ok by you? Hmmm....

The Joffrey's kiosk is not bad. I used to love the Writer's Stop, and especially liked it in the winter for a cup of cocoa prior to looking at the Osborne lights, but it's gone down hill. The coffee has not tasted very good over there in a while. Thankfully, though I'm not a fan of all their roasts, Starbucks has been consistent.

Nothing against it at all. I was more pointing out to the other poster that they have been adding multiple locations that are offering more than brewed coffee.

"Improve" the parks - with that junk? You just blew your forum cred, dude.

Oh, by the way: https://movies.yahoo.com/news/box-office-divergent-tops-while-muppets-flop-215516938.html

Can't post that ENOUGH.

And really? You're dissing me over COFFEE? Maybe I missed something, but when did Disney ever make its own coffee? What difference does it make what coffee brand it uses? Hmmm....

I agree. Infact, I really don't like starbucks in any of the parks. When you are in the parks, what you want is to be transported to a new place and immersed in what is around you. With starbucks there, something that is common in the outside world...idk...for me it kinda just takes something away...

Disney really has started to build up some generic look like all other theme parks. It's a shame.

As far as Starbucks goes, I like the idea of having one because I really enjoy their products, but not at the cost of themeing.

Maybe they'll at least make it look like the era of the other storefronts.

I do believe this is the location for SB ... they seem to be going one location at a time, not a bad strategy.

Glad to hear Starring Rolls may stay. We were there on Wednesday and the baked goods and cappuccinos were as good as ever. On a related note, we ate identical items at croissant moon the next day out at IOA and it was terrible. Some of the worst danish I've had.

Is it too much to ask for all that space outside to be converted into seating? Covered or non, a bunch of seats would be nice. Something that has been missing in the other FL conversions.

The only problem will Starring Rolls is that it's small and closes way too early.

I expect there to be outdoor seating on the back side.

You need YOUR coffee or life is over?

No, my wife needs her coffee or my life is over.

Although she hates Starbucks, but with it's proximity to Starring Rolls, hopefully this means shorter lines at the latter.

They added seating to Fantasmic.:-/

Anyway, all this news about new Starbucks,M&G's,dance parties..etc.. Is it me or is it tough to get excited about things anymore in the world? I know, this is coming in 3-4 years.. This may be coming in 5-6 years. I'm watching myself get older while I wait. Think I need a drink.

they don't need to add seating to fantasmic, you just need to go to the second showing.

Anyway

I agree that it has been difficult to get excited about new Starbucks locations, improvements in efficiency and new bypass walkways. I am itching to see new attractions and previously closed attractions reopened or replaced so the parks (especially DHS and Epcot) don't feel so lifeless and empty.

I like the addition of Starbucks into the parks because I need quality caffeine in the parks. I don't care how they package it and I don't need a place to sit to drink it just as long as it's available.
