I will, begrudgingly, accept Starbucks in Future World. It's based out of Seattle, and a host of comic books and pen & paper rpgs have reinforced the idea of Seattle as a high tech city of the future.

It's always surprised me that WDW allows children to sit AT the bar, something that is illegal in many states.

I got one too..
People who consider Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace during daylight- a Bar.
So weird, right?

It just ruins the whole feel of mainstreet . I do not understand everyones obsession with Starbucks it is so disgusting, and why on earth would you pay 5 bucks for a stupid cup of coffee ?I don't know, I think Disney was smart with adding Starbucks.. always has a long line, at least when I've been there. To me it's not much different than the candy shop which is also similar to any candy shop..Starbucks still carries Disney themed items and WDW.
Most importantly- They dot the "i" in your name with a Mickey head.. that's enough Disney for me

Nothing that has me in the restroom puking from the smell smells amazing.

At least they have something to take a picture of. We were in line for POC, and this women in front of us kept stopping every 2 seconds to take pictures. When she took a picture of the wall , just a blank wall, no people in front of the wall, just a wall, no props just wall, my daughter lost it and yells seriously the wall?

It's crazy. Forget the legal aspects, sitting your kid at a bar is a strange move. And really, quite disrespectful to the other patrons. We were out at a busy restaurant/bar down the shore at the beginning of July, and rather then wait for a table like normal humans, this couple sat with their INFANT at the bar. The baby spent some of the time ON THE BAR. Essentially the entire place was staring at them with reactions ranging from shocked to disgusted. Some people....

Maybe you should drink less booze before entering the park? Might help with those tummy issues.

Sorry I am just not going to pay that much for a cup of coffee. I really don't like their coffee anyway.

I actually had a guy give me a hard time about stopping. I was coming out of the gift shop at Star Tours. My family was leaning against the wall off to the side. I cam out about 10 feet, stopped, and turned to talk to them when I realized where they were. I was literally the only person there. Some guy comes out of the gift shop and starts giving me a hard time about blocking the area. I really wasn't in anyone's way and there was lots and lots of room around me. I just stood there and gave him a what are YOU going to do about it look.

I have to say that this one bothers me too. I've spent many hours in the Rose & Crown Pub, and to see a dad sipping a beer while his kids sit there bored is just strange.

I don't like chocolate..
I don't understand why people drink soda several times per day.
I definitely don't understand when people add salt to food that was served to them.
What's gross to one can be delicious to another.
You spend your $5 on a pastry that I won't touch, I'll spend my $5 on a delicious caffeine drink that you won't touch. We'll both survive even though the other is doing something different.
This is so true the line I always use is "that's why the ice cream parlor has so many different flavors... cuz we're all different ! "I don't like chocolate..

Not to mention, I definitely don't think it sticks out. It blends in just fine IMO. We walked by it multiple times when we were looking for it, because it blended in so well, haha. And it doesn't look like w "regular Starbucks" inside either. It definitely has the "old time feel" that other places on Main Street do.

I figured it out once. It cost about 20 cents to make a cup of coffee. Me, I like plain black coffee and Starbucks is just too strong for me. I also would not spend $5 on a pastry either.I don't like chocolate..

Never have I seen any bakery item, or even a sandwich, at Starbucks, for $5.

.20 is not even close for Starbucks. Maybe you meant making it at home?

I get it, Starbucks peeps are stupid for their coffee spending.. I don't totally disagree.
I just don't understand these types of arguments though. Example- you can make a meal at home cheaper than you can eat at a restaurant, even fast food..same with pizza. Or people who use vending machines for soda or snacks etc at work. Different people have different things that they spend their money on..
I always chuckle though and wonder if all of the Starbucks haters never use a vending machine, never drive thru a fast food restaurant, never eat out period, and never buy junk food at the grocery store.
Until an automobile manufacturer starts adding some kind of Keurig to a car, then drive thru Starbucks are needed when running errands, going to games, etc etc etc
