Disney to start selling Starbucks. They are a little late, CF already does.

And in an odd twist, many are saying that it's Starbucks who put off a partnership for so long despite Disney's efforts - Starbucks was allegedly not happy with the decreasing quality of training at Disney Parks and spent a while deciding if they even wanted Disney's crew (of which the dining sector has the highest turnover) in charge of creating their signature drinks on a daily basis.

I think it's a great change, but on certain websites people are already "foaming" at the mouth about how external brands don't belong in Disneyland, what Walt would or wouldn't have done if he were around, how their favorite free refill coffee places will doubtlessly disappear, and how they'll never visit Disneyland again until this injustice is rectified... In other words, business as usual.

Hasn't external brands been at Disney before. Its not like they are going to let Walmart move in and have a sams place gift shop selling goofy ears. This is starbucks and the article states it will sell starbucks and other disney foods.

Yes if I had to pick parks based on food Disney is at the top, Knotts, Cedar Point Dolly Wood are tied for third.

But really on the basis of starbucks its a great deal for the disney empire, people are going to by it right outside disney I did and do, will continue to do, for the most part I'm not a fan of Starbucks I'm a regular white castle dunkin kind of coffee average joe drinker.

This deal is good, and if Walt still was alive it made sense to do so he would have done so also.

Time will teall as this pans out:

Nothing abnormal there. I have heard the same about Test Tracks refurb.

To bad they didn't have this for the leap day. They would made big money at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland
