My two reasons are because it smells and tastes burnt...and because the ultra bitter smell/taste can't be masked with cream and sugar. I'd rather drink the cheapest instant coffee on the supermarket shelf (and I also generally hate instant) because at least cream and sugar can doctor it up a little. I will drink Starbucks if I have absolutely no choice and need the caffeine, but that's it.

Nothing says World Showcase like standard generic Starbucks decor. Could it have killed them to do even a little bit of theming rather than the standard Starbucks box. I’ve got Starbucks by me with more local theming than this.
Its temporary too
Yes, it's temporary until it isn't.
It would not be unprecedented. There are multiple locations across the globe where you literally have a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks. I think Houston even had one area with 3. (2 Starbucks and one B&N)
I've always wondered this too, unless they have a contractual agreement which limits them to only one location per park.
I've consistently had that problem. I get coffee from old man stores because of it. I thought it was just my taste buds.
What were you expecting for a temporary structure or a Starbucks for that matter? When Starbucks stores are not following the architecture of the strip mall they are in, they tend to be minimalist structures often accented with reclaimed wood.
Oh you know, something that didn’t look like a strip mall Starbucks. What ever happened to theme, no matter how temporary or small it is, it should still live up to the Disney (former Disney) standard. The bar is low these days.What were you expecting for a temporary structure or a Starbucks for that matter?

As part of World Celebrate, the new Starbucks celebrates Starbucks.
