And even a few pieces of the Market House décor have found a new home in Starbucks. A coffee canister and tea tin that once graced the shelves behind the checkout counter can now be found among the window displays. The largest item, by far, is a vintage coffee grinder, which is now placed near an exit that leads out through the door of the “Hotel Marceline.” Oddly, the door to the Hotel Marceline now opens directly into the coffee shop.
For those seeking Disney connections, there are not many obvious examples. Back in the book nook there is a bit of a treasure hunt, however. There are vintage prints of Peter Pan hanging on the walls. Mr. Peavidy’s private office door is back there, right next to a framed poem dedicated to his wife. Among the books on the shelves are a set of classic fairy tales, along with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Swiss Family Robinson. Figurines include bookends with Peter Pan figures, a sailing ship, and a coach worthy of any Disney Princess.
There is a well-hidden tribute to the original Market House. On the back of the exit signs, but visible from the street through clerestory windows, is an image of a horse and wagon. This is an adaptation of the small graphic that was used to identify Swift and Company on early Disneyland souvenirs.
The coffee served is the standard fare for Starbucks. The menu consists of “classic” items, rather than the new “La Boulange” that has been rolled out in most Starbucks in the area. Guests enter through the main door and are directed into a rather extensive queue line. There are two service counters, with full condiment counters on each side. Guests exiting to the left will find themselves at Center Street; guests exiting to the right have the option of heading into the book nook or exiting directly to Main Street.
