8) Starbucks at Main Street Bakery
In 2012 it was announced that the popular Main Street Bakery would be closing at the Magic Kingdom. It would be replaced by, gasp, Starbucks. The announcement led to thousands of emails and letters to Disney, begging them to reconsider the decision. Others planned to not renew their Annual Passes and to boycott Walt Disney World all together. Disney soon let it be known that Main Street Bakery wouldn't really be gone, it would just serve Starbucks products. The location reopened in 2013. There are some Starbucks logos, but it still has the Main Street Bakery name and charm. The warm cinnamon rolls that the original was known for are no longer served. They can instead be found at Gaston's Tavern in New Fantasyland. Main Street Bakery is not the only place where you can get your Starbucks fix at Walt Disney World. There are now locations in all four theme parks, and two at Disney Springs. (Photo credit: Disney Food Blog)
