Starbucks News Round-Up

Stores in Disney; Frappuccino Happy Hour

Item 1: Starbucks Opens At Disney
The first big Starbucks news item is that the chain will be opening up six new stores in Disney theme parks. The first will open at Disney California Adventure in June, followed by stores at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. 
 
I have to admit, I have been taking guilty pleasure in watching the Starbucks-haters try and get outraged at this news. It isn't easy to decry the increasing commercialization of Disney theme parks with a straight face, but that won't stop some people from trying.
