Huh?

 

I wish Lou would come out of hibernation to help clear up some confusion I have.

 

I thought there weren't any Starbucks stores in the WDW parks?

 

So, why are they selling Starbucks mugs?

 

BTW- I recently clicked on the official Main Street Bakery menu, and had one heck of a time trying to find an actual baked item on it.  Can anyone find one?:  https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/magic-kingdom/main-street-bakery/menus/

I suppose they don't put the goodies in the cases on the menu because they change?

 

..or because they don't actually bake them?

I'm assuming that means there will be one for AK and HS too.

I like how they have images of the parks included in the artwork.

 

Note there is no BAH on the DHS mug.

 

The California ones are nice too, but they made their tiny castle look as big as WDW's, and much taller than the Matterhorn, which is false advertising.

Well, if you didn't get your Epcot mug, you may be too late.

 

According to several sources, including News 13 in Orlando, the Epcot mugs have been pulled from the shelves.

 

The story:

 

Walt Disney World is pulling one of its exclusive new Starbucks coffee mugs sold at Epcot, because the mug's design includes one of Disney's monorails with a purple stripe.

The controversy: Disney's Monorail Purple was involved in a deadly 2009 crash in which Monorail Pink backed into the purple train, killing its pilot, 21-year-old Austin Wuennenberg.

 

* * *

 

Following the 2009 crash, Walt Disney World retired both the pink and purple colors from its 12-train monorail fleet, adding Monorails Teal and Peach in their place. Disney has also since put new safety procedures and improvements in place on its monorail lines.

It actually does make sense to pull it, but once again the proofers at Disney....... FAIL!!

 

And in this case it had to have gone through a bunch of levels of proofing - starting with the art director.

 

Then again, it's entirely possible the folks in the art department weren't even aware.

 

But somebody up the chain had to be.

Ebay has them listed from $150 to $2500.

 

Personally I think it was a dumb idea to remove them.

 

How many people remember what color socks they have on let alone the color of monorails involved in an accident years ago.

 

Society is getting to be too overly cautious or "sensitive".

 

Look at those parents that are getting investigated for child endangerment because they let their kids go to the park by themselves.
