Take note that before Starbucks, the only type of coffee that you can find in all of WDW (with the exception of a few places) is the Nescafe INSTANT coffee!
Now think about that for a second. Even if you don't like coffee, or don't drink coffee, think of the rest of us who do and had to suffer through something like that. I don't know of anyone who liked that type of coffee, and even the cast members that I know of stay away from them!
I would have been happy even if they simply grind some whole beans that they get from the local supermarket. So I'm sure you can understand why many people, even those who are not fans of Starbucks, are elated when we now have a choice of having better coffee than what they were servicing us before.
I drink Starbucks coffee maybe once every 2 to 3 weeks. I much prefer their espresso-based coffees since the deep, dark roasting that they tend to do is suited very well for such drinks that require robust flavors. But still, I'm quite happy to see Starbucks in WDW, and it is the first place we went to in the morning when I got to MK or Epcot last Dec.
And oh, the service was quick and prompt. Good crowd control. The people in charge of running the Dole whip stand in Adventureland should learn from them!
