As an update to Disney’s previously announced plans to bring Starbucks locations to the theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort, the newest location this week officially opened – The Trolley Car Café at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

As shared earlier, the Trolley Car Café is themed to a classic trolley car station and gives guests a sense of atmosphere from early 20th century Hollywood. We have some of the first photos to share from this week’s opening.

Creature Comforts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is expected to be closing on January 5th next year.

Even though it has not been officially announced, it is expected that the shop will become the home of the fourth and final Walt Disney World in-park Starbucks location. The location is located in the center of the park, on the walkway that leads to the Africa section of the park, so from a location stand point it is ideal for a Starbucks.

The closure is expected to last through to mid-June 2015, which is a similar length of time to the previous three Starbucks conversions. The store currently carries a range of plush and toys, and also provides MyMagic+ assistance.

Trolley Car Cafe

Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be able to enjoy a new Starbucks location inside the park beginning in February of 2015. The new store, The Trolley Car Café, will be themed to a classic trolley car station along Hollywood Boulevard and offer a unique experience for coffee lovers visiting the park.

There will also be Disney baked goods and Starbucks La Boulange™ pastry items at the store.

The Trolley Car Café will be the third in-park Disney operated location at Walt Disney World, joining the Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom, and the Fountain View at Epcot. There are also two Starbucks operated locations at Downtown Disney.

Main Street Bakery and Fountain View to add ‘La Boulange’ Baked Goods to Menus

Main-Street-Bakery

The Main Street Bakery at the Magic Kingdom and Fountain View at Epcot will soon be adding ‘La Boulange’ baked goods to their menus.

La Boulange is a San Francisco bakery and café serving artisanal pastries, and has partnered with Starbucks to offer them in locations across the country. Many of the items are served warm, and include goodies such as Criossants, Sticky Buns, Brownies, and Cookies.

Many guests are a fans of the Starbucks coffees being served in the parks, but the lack of baked goods that used to be served in the Main Street Bakery is viewed as a loss by quite a few guests. The addition of ‘La Boulange’ products may go some way to giving those guests better quality baked goods.
