With the addition of an "outside" company inside the Park it takes away from being transported to a different world. But most of the time I get my coffee from the Blue Ribbon so at least there's that. But if I see a huge Starbucks logo on the outside of the Market House, I'll be very sad :( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531362314944421277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-13702775147118408402013-01-31T20:23:41.267-08:002013-01-31T20:23:41.267-08:00Todd - The photo is an animated gif; download it a...Todd - The photo is an animated gif; download it and in photoshop, you can access each layer.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-37924158960098072013-01-31T18:35:31.766-08:002013-01-31T18:35:31.766-08:00Dave. any chance you could post both images in you...Dave. any chance you could post both images in your FauxD shots? As a Disneyland 3D shooter, I would love to see large vintage 3D shots. If they were separate or joined together, us 3D fans would be able to see them on our 3d tvs or monitors.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488267110819739381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-30504594919923873962013-01-31T11:17:09.393-08:002013-01-31T11:17:09.393-08:00I have good memories of the Market House. When I ...I have good memories of the Market House. When I was in high school, we visited every year with the Honor Society. We would have fun listening to the phone conversations, which my Mother noted were authentic in the fact that you could hear others on the phone with the old party lines. Actually, I remember when we had that at home, but our phone was much more modern, of course.<br /><br />In the back corner, there used to be blank books like ledgers or something, we would write silly messages in the books and write down the page numbers, then come back a year later to re-read the messages. Of course this stopped when I left high school and never came back to Disneyland for almost 20 years.<br /><br />I see no reason why Starbucks good coffee and snacks couldnt be sold in this themed environment. I would not be happy to see the typical Starbucks corporate look in here or standard SBUX merch, of course, but I doubt that will happen. After all, the other corporate sponsored spaces are nicely themed.<br /><br />I think this could be a plus for both Starbucks and Disney, but I wish they had taken the Hills Bros space instead.<br /><br />I know my kids will be happy to see this, both of them missed their "fixes" last trip and complained about the available coffee.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-9147962587475049102013-01-31T10:00:22.414-08:002013-01-31T10:00:22.414-08:00Dave - Overall I think they're on the right tr...Dave - Overall I think they're on the right track.

I might be wrong, but in the 90s I think they had one trail after the horses in the Christmas parade. The custodians might just use a standard dustpan and broom to clean up after the horses these days.

If the company wasn't so $$ oriented, the park probably wouldn't be as well-run, as clean, etc. It's a fine-line, and some of the management teams have been better at juggling those balls than others.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-13752029538809888902013-01-31T09:06:28.909-08:002013-01-31T09:06:28.909-08:00Dave - Agreed!

The window dislays at Buena Vista Street were an example of that. Now they've been altered to be less authentic because of $$$.K.

Converting the Market House probably proved to be a lower cost solution.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-52296164920309243552013-01-31T07:48:47.565-08:002013-01-31T07:48:47.565-08:00I'm neutral about Starbucks being there.

So much of the nature of Disneyland has changed that it doesn’t faze me anymore.<br /><br />It’s too bad they didn't put it into the old Maxwell House/Hills Bros. Coffee location to re-introduce and continue the tradition of a coffee house in Town Square.<br /><br />K.

I think I'd rather drink a crummy cup of Disneyland coffee AT Disneyland, then a cup of Starbucks coffee anywhere. I hope they don't change much in that space.<br /><br />I worked at Disneyland in the summer of 1989 and I remember working in the Market House on the 4th of July. Another girl and I had traded shifts with someone and neither of us had ever worked there before. Someone ordered a pickle and we couldn't find a price anywhere, so we had to make one up!!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136389567786715066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-821775132652078082013-01-31T06:06:24.460-08:002013-01-31T06:06:24.460-08:00The "doohickie" is a coffee grinder.
