Seeing that one of the happiest places on earth now has more overly priced coffee shops on the grounds. With all of the magical things that are at, and occur in Disney Parks, I do not see how Starbucks shops fit into the mix. In Starbucks stores I am sure that we will see a higher supply of Disney related products, and in Disney Parks, it is obvious that we will see an increased number of Starbucks franchises. Noting the high prices of Starbucks, and the possible increased prices when it comes to buying the coffee on Disney grounds, I cannot see the demand for starbucks having much of an impact when it comes to competition in Disney Parks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-28047511166232126852014-10-21T10:41:28.786-06:002014-10-21T10:41:28.786-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-47090942799659860302014-10-15T11:08:48.090-06:002014-10-15T11:08:48.090-06:00I thought your topic was really interesting and I ...I thought your topic was really interesting and I had no idea Starbucks was partnering with Disney. I agree that the big named companies partnering together would defiantly have impacts on the prices for Starbucks and Disney. Putting Starbucks shops into Disney parks more adults would find coming to Disney isn't so bad when their able to purchase coffee to give them an extra boost of energy. Having coffee available for adults they would be able to do more activities with their children which would bring in more money to the Disney parks. There are some defiantly benefits that can come along with both companies partnering together.

I love coffee and Starbucks, so I was extremely happy when I saw they now had it. It doesn't ruin the environment of the park considering it is just a small shop in the middle of all the Disney hustle. People have the option if they want to go buy over priced coffee or coffee that is set at the right price. Customers walk in Starbucks knowing exactly what they are going to get; quality drinks at prices that are way too high. I think the addition of Starbucks into Disney parks is a good thing, and will help Starbucks earn more money, as well as the Disney parks to earn more money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-90231440255653291862014-10-15T07:44:42.965-06:002014-10-15T07:44:42.965-06:00Hey Cara!

I had no clue that Disney was starting to iterate Starbucks stands into different attractions in the Disney Parks. I myself have never been to Disney but I think that this not only is a good idea for a partnership but a great benefit for both Disney and Starbucks. When you think about it many parents/grandparents etc. are the ones taking children to said disney parks. These adults may become fatigued during the day and need a little recharge, this is where Starbucks steps in. Not only will this create more adult appreciation for the Disney Parks but the money Starbucks will take in because of this partnership is unanimous. While the prices may be higher there is some great benefit to be seen from both companies due to this partnership. It is a sneaky yet extremely effective means of business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-84850652620063950472014-10-14T06:48:11.677-06:002014-10-14T06:48:11.677-06:00I really liked your topic and I agree that with th...I really liked your topic and I agree that with the increase of accessibility, the prices of both products will increase.

I think that it is smart decision economically that they have a Starbucks in Disney because it could increase the amount of people going there and the prices heavily. I do agree though that most people don’t think of Starbucks being what they look forward to when they go there and as well not fit the theme. Starbucks will probably make many adults happy though and I think it will be a good turnout for Starbucks and Disney.

I personally think that these two companies make a great team because there are many benefits for consumer and supplier. Avid coffee drinkers who are addicted to the caffeine in coffee would suffer extreme with drawls without their daily fix. I would assume that many parents at Disney drink coffee regularly and without it having a headache with tons of screaming toddlers and roller coasters around would not be a good idea. Because of this Starbucks can also jack up prices not only for the experience, but because the demand is so high for coffee. Overall, I think that having a Starbucks at Disney is a good idea for consumer and supplier.

Although I agree that Starbucks does not follow the overall Disney theme well, it will surely increase the amount of business Starbucks receives and will expand the variety of food and beverages Disney Parks has to offer. In the end, I think Starbucks is a good overall choice to add into the Disney Parks, especially due to the fact that customers can chose to avoid the Starbucks business if they'd prefer to do so.

Parents have to spend hours getting the items that they need for a day in the parks together, then they have to pack said items. Finally they have to get the kids up and ready to go. Needless to say parents need a little extra help getting through the day. However I think putting Starbucks shops into Disney is too much. Disney is supposed to be for the kids, not to say that adults can’t also have fun there, but Disney is marketed for kids. Granted it’s the parents who are paying for everything, but still. I find it surprising that just because Starbucks now has stores inside of Disney, that the cost of their coffee will go up at all the stores. I would expect it to be more expensive inside of Disney, not outside of Disney.

I almost think that starbucks in the park will be higher than prices at a regular starbucks a few minutes outside of the park. Starbucks will make everyone happy, especially the adults as there is probably a lot less places for them to get something they enjoy at the park. Although what if a different business offers coffee too, how will Starbucks adapt as to not lose sales?

Not only will the addition of Starbucks across the park collect revenue through the Starbucks shops, many people, like you said Cara, will substitute Starbucks brand coffee for the coffee sold at other Disneyland cafes which will collect more revenue for the park. So basically by adding a Starbucks to the park, the amount of revenue that will be collect will increase and people will be able to drink their Mocha Frappacinos while meeting Mickey Mouse, what’s there to complain about? <br />Hannah G. :Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653132001470443464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-57788211987940696452014-10-10T12:29:01.066-06:002014-10-10T12:29:01.066-06:00If starbucks can open a little shop in Disneyland,...If starbucks can open a little shop in Disneyland, does McDonald's already do this? Because if not, then yes a starbucks coffee shop would seem a little out of place knowing that the older kids and parents are going to be going there often, whereas McDonald's a place more suitable for the younger ones that go to Disneyland in the first place may squeak by with an understanding. Also, if starbucks doesn't add logos of Mickey Mouse or any of the Disney characters then there's another point on why a starbucks shop would seem more out of place. All in all, it seems like a quick little scheme to get more money for the starbucks corporation and making their company become more famous to the amounts of people who come to visit Disneyland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-12055974369896783882014-10-10T12:28:44.094-06:002014-10-10T12:28:44.094-06:00Cara, absolutely loved reading your blog.

Disney World and Starbucks are two of the most known names throughout the country and world, and I definatly agree that it was economicly a smart choice for them to team up together. To some people, coffee is an inelastic product meaning they can't live without it. So yes, buying starbucks coffee in Disney will of course raise the price but for most will not affect weather or weather not they purchase it. If peopel chose to not purchase coffee or even take it to the extreem of not going to park because of it that is their own personal choice but overal will not affect the park in a negative way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-69314486526585320862014-10-10T12:28:01.025-06:002014-10-10T12:28:01.025-06:00Really interesting read.

As if I didn't think Starbucks costed too much already (even if it is incredibly delicious), a large cup of coffee will be upwards of $6, maybe $7 where you could get it for much cheaper elsewhere. Can't say I'm a fan of this business strategy as a consumer, despite it being proven to work VERY well. Disney and Starbucks are the biggest in their markets; combining the two just makes it a recipe for commercial chaos. I haven't been to Disney's parks in a *long* time, but who would want to drink coffee at an amusement park? Something about that just doesn’t sit well, literally or figuratively. But then again...there aren’t many coffee shops pre-existing in Disney World, maybe this will be a good thing for the parents who are getting buried neck-deep in cartoon caricatures and novelty toys imported from foreign countries.

The benefits that Disney would reap in terms of profit, greatly outweigh the some of the negative feedback from consumers. I think that a Starbucks would benefit both parties as the prices would rise and profits would follow the same suit. The few complaints about the "change in feel" of the park are no big deal because consumers can choose to avoid the Starbucks if they wish.

Even though I do agree that starbucks coffee may not be there first thing I would look forward to when visiting this park or is fitting with the overall theme, I think it’s a very smart idea to include a Starbucks in Disney land. As we continue to grow and mature, we’re noticing more and more that our world revolves around money, and it’s understandable that the incentive of a partnership between Disney and Startbucks is to increase the total revenues in the park. Although many people would disagree with this decision, the economic benefits of this decision far outweigh the complaints some visitors may have. In my opinion the installation of a Starbucks in the park is not going to completely alter the Disney environment, and is a smart choice when it comes to revenue. I highly doubt people are not going to go to the park because of an installation of a Starbucks shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-32008897964907845412014-10-10T11:10:14.572-06:002014-10-10T11:10:14.572-06:00Disney and Starbucks are highly famous names in th...Disney and Starbucks are highly famous names in the United States. Not only does this make a good revenue on both ends of the revenue, but it impacts the customers and the visitors of the theme parks.

Which having Disney and Starbucks partnering for this, it helps all ends of people, and makes everyone happy.

Having said that, with two franchises such as Starbucks and Disney, it would be hard to say that people would really give up on either of the two due to price. A lot of people that go to Disney World are prepared to splurge, and if that means they spend a couple extra dollars for a Starbucks coffee while in the park, I guess they’ll just go for it anyway. I can understand either of the companies losing a bit of business, but not enough to make up for the profit both sides make in this agreement. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746324505322049940.post-40815078610180211782014-10-10T11:06:48.172-06:002014-10-10T11:06:48.172-06:00I believe the partnership between Disney and Starb...I believe the partnership between Disney and Starbucks was a great trade off decision between both companies. I personally believe Starbucks is benefiting much more from this deal than Disney, however the two corporations seem pretty content with this partnership. This deal really does pave the way for a whole new market and variety of consumers. I'm sure we'll see many more young Cinderellas and parents enjoying a refreshing frappe at local Starbucks throughout the US. It will be interesting to see people's thoughts over the next few months on Starbucks inside Disney world. Personally I believe Starbucks has always been over-hyped, and opening an even more expensive shop in Disney world is a perfect example of this.

The last thing this world needs is more Starbucks. Make your own coffee and add whatever you want. I guarantee that it will be cheaper than $6. Starbucks isn't even that good sometimes. All it is is coffee and a bunch of sugar. It's a treat not a daily drink. The only times I ever even think about getting Starbucks is when I go out of town. And that's not very often at all. Starbucks needs to start taking down stores or else they will go out of business for having too many stores open.

Theoretically the competition should lower prices as Starbucks and the Parks compete for business however it can and most likely will result in a monopoly. This being said, the prices already established by Disney Parks are already very high because it is part of the experience of Disney that you are eating their food and all that jazz, but to then add the classic Starbucks and its cafe environment it would be then able to make them sell their coffee at en even higher price because it is name brand and therefore more worthy of consumption. I think for the most part that it might ruin the idea of the Disney parks as it is bringing something from the outside world into their new created ones by reminding you that you are in a highly commercialized zone rather than that "happiest place on earth."
