PHOTOS: A Look Inside the Trolley Car Cafe Starbucks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

WDWNT on January 29, 2015

The Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios may not be set to open until next month, but we are taking a look inside the new Starbucks location for the first time today…

 

The facade still looks great and thankfully the patio crammed with plush is no more

The sign mirrors the decorative paint scheme you would find stemming from the light on the front of the Trolley

The vintage style Starbucks sign was added just a few days ago

 

Menu displays are up as well

 

Great to see neon signs still being made for this section of the park

 The new wrought iron is great too

Looking inside, the back wall against Sunset Boulevard is the service counter, with guests entering through the front on Hollywood Boulevard and exiting through the side door at the intersection of the two Boulevards

It looks like just some interior decorating and training remain before we see the Trolley Car Cafe open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

The Red Car Trolley Will Carry Guests With “Comfort – Speed – Safety”

WDWNT on October 25, 2011

From Erin Glover the Disney Parks Blog:

Red Car Trolley at Disney California Adventure Park

When Buena Vista Street opens at Disney California Adventure park next year, guests will be transported back in time to Los Angeles of the 1920s and ‘30s. This trip to the past would not be complete without one of the most beloved symbols of Los Angeles history, the Pacific Electric Red Cars. The Red Car Trolley, making its debut along with the rest of Buena Vista Street, will be inspired by this landmark transportation system.

At its peak in the mid-1920s, the Pacific Electric Railway was the largest electric railway in the world, connecting Los Angeles and the surrounding Orange, San Bernardino, Ventura and Riverside counties. Established in 1901, the Pacific Electric Railway carried passengers throughout the Southern California area for the next 60 years.

Map of the Red Car Trolley Route at Disney California Adventure Park

As you can see in the map above, the Red Car Trolley will carry guests from Buena Vista Street to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and back with “Comfort – Speed – Safety” – not to mention style.

Red Car Trolley Designs at Disney California Adventure Park

Exterior paint schemes like those detailed above will reflect the various Red Cars that appeared during different periods in the Pacific Electric Railway’s history, while the interior design (seen in the rendering below) employs some of the very design elements featured in the original cars.
