they do have a fabulous Hot Chai Latte...but sadly I won't be getting that there either...I had heard about the McDonalds fries-glad that was gone by the time I found the magic
For me it isn't even that they are adding a Starbucks, it is that all the verbage I have read seems to indicate that they are getting rid of the bakery in favor of the Star bucks. Now if it is Main Street Bakery, proudly serving Starbucks-then Woo Hoo!! Chai Latte here I come. I just don't see how replacing the bakery is a benefit to the integrity of Main Street itself. Starbucks, for me, is the epitome of mainstream...There is a Starbucks on every corner outside those magical gates. We don't need one on every "street corner" inside the Kingdom...
I understand that product sponsorship/placement brings in money, and Disney is after all a buiness, however there has to be a line you won't cross. Messing with Main Street should be that line. Walt's vision for Main Street USA was small town Americana, now every average street corner.

Usually I am on Disney's side in most of their decisions and while i may not always agree, i usually understand why they did it.
This is one that I'm not happy about at all. Serving Starbuck's Coffee fine, but if you change the vibe, the smell, the feel then it's a horrible decision.
Coke and Kodak make more sense as sponsors and fit in w/ the time table of when Main Street is supposed to be set, cause they are companies that have been around since the turn of the century, while Starbucks was created in 1971.

I'm in the crowd that thinks this will be a hybrid store. It will be updated to include the coffee area and will still serve the bakery goods.

From todays Disney Blog:
UPDATE 11/12: Here’s some additional information about our Walt Disney World Resort Starbucks locations. The Main Street Bakery will keep its name and theming when it reopens in early summer. It’ll also continue to serve Disney favorites like cookies, brownies and seasonal cupcakes, in addition to Starbucks signature beverages and other items.

Good news! I'm surprised they didn't offer that info in the initial announcement.

WDW's marketing, well Disney's in general, is terrible...

Also, on FB, it says "You can get the cinnamon rolls at Gaston's Tavern in the New Fantasyland and the ice cream sandwiches will be available at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor."
Sounds like I'll be walking right on down Main Street to the new Fantasyland to get my cinnamon roll!
Also, I wonder if this "addition" to the original snippet is due to backlash at the full replacement idea.

I don't think it was ever going to be a full replacement, I think that was just an assumption. As I posted earlier, it was going to be set up similar to DL which mixed the old with the new.

I agree! This makes the most sense to me and it's the best of both worlds.

It was basically not much more than a Mcdonald's french fry cart. It was not a burger stand. It kind of looked like a miner's shack. It had a small golden arches logo on a small sign. It was located on the back street that connects Adventureland to Frontierland.

I have read reviews online from people who have had the cinnamon rolls at Gastons and they say they are NOT the same. They say they are hard and have a different icing.

I think I may be the only one who doesn't really mind all the various changes to Disney. It's still Disney World, my escape from reality. I'm good with that.
