Every Disney theme park should have a Starbucks like Buena Vista Street does!

My wait for coffee was almost as long as my husbands 40 minute wait in the RSR FP line.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Granted I'm not a coffee drinker, but I can't imagine waiting 15 minutes for a beverage. Even at a really busy bar that seems a little ridiculous. But I'm glad they're turning a healthy profit!
