Many people are anticipating the opening of Starbucks in the Disney Vilage and recently a lot of work has been happening to convert the former retail shop into the coffee shop.
Its best to show you rather than to explain!

The above photo shows the front of the store with what appears to be a large wicker basket to the right and a wooden box to the left with a simple green wall inbetween. The signage looks as if it is free standing on a metal beam. What will be interesting to know is if the letters are 3D and if they light up at night.
However the side of the building does have a small surprise:

The above photo is a view as you are walking through the Disney Village from the Resort Hub. That may be the first thing you see of the shop and you are greeted with the wicker basket wall and what appears to be a metal motif. Interesting! would you instantly say “oh theres a Starbucks here” or would you have to wait until you saw the front?
Lets take a closer look:

So yes it is a mermaid in fact it is the ‘mermaid’ that ‘appeared’ in the old Starbucks logo.
The current logo doesn’t appear anywhere on the exterior (yet) which looks like this:

The rumoured opening date is the 20th June 2009 and we will bring you the latest information.
