MK Mainstreet Bakery .. coffemate.. UGH.. to take a great cup of columbian coffee and put that sludge in it.. I'm not saying there's not h & h somewhere in all of WDW, but it's not where it used to be...

I live in seattle, which if you don't already know, literally has up to 4 Starbucks on one block, and the whole just milk and cream bit gets old. Coffeemate is a cheap way to spruce up your coffee rather than paying the $$$ for a mocha of something fancy... Keeps it interesting I guess.

Originally Posted By pixiedust1 Let me clarify...

I am not talking about those fancy drinks here...

I said, "Well have you told your supervisor or whatever?" She said, "No." I said, "Why not?" She said, "I don't drink the stuff, I just make it." I was dumbfounded. PS I love coffeemate and it probably has more to do with corporate sponsorship. It's Walt Disney World, not Starbucks.

If you order black coffee all you can do is lighten it and coffeemate allows you to add some flavor without the cost.
Originally Posted By t1lersm0m I just can't imagine anyone liking powder coffeemate. it's gross. But, that's just my opinion, and I'm sure they still make the stuff for a reason. But the only place I use it is here at work. And only because I'm too cheap to stop somewhere for a coffee, and always forget to bring my own cream or milk in.
Originally Posted By allygator206 ^^ Yeah, the powder isn't too great, places might as well carry the liquid version. Have you ever looked at the expiration on that stuff? It's kind of scary, it doesn't expire for months after buy it. I think it might be radio-active or something...
Originally Posted By pixiedust1 <<<and coffeemate allows you to add some flavor without the cost.>>> I'm confused... I started this thread because Disney has started using a "NON-DAIRY CREAMER" instead of the real thing.. If you are a true coffee drinker you can't even compare a good cup of coffee with cream or half & half to anything else.. especially non-dairy.. I guess it's good in a pinch.. and price, I'm not sure I get the added cost part... Starbucks or any restaurant does not charge extra for cream or half & half, nor does Disney... Good restaurants only serve the best.. Disney used to.. I guess, to bad for me... IMO....

I was just saying I like coffeemate and that I saw nothing wrong with DL using a non-dairy creamer. I, for one, consider myself a hardcore coffee drinker, but I use coffeemate sometimes. As well as non-fat milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, half and half, cream, sugar, splenda etc and i also get vanilla, regular, nonfat, pumpkin, etc lattes, mochas, americanos, black coffee (Of various roasts and blends) I'll even drink ::gasp!:: decaf! need i continue? So maybe my 2 cents isn't very well meritted after all, I'll drink anything as long as there's coffee in it :O) I do like your idea of becoming an attraction at WDW. The DL coffee drinkers, watch them glow! lol

Originally Posted By pixiedust1 wow.. you are what I call a hardcore coffee drinker, I respect you for that... I once tried fat free in my coffee, ugh!! I can't handle it.. more power to you... You know those light up thingys they sell before the parade... they fill them with coffeemate, I bet you didn't know that... LMAO... ;>)
