I wonder if Starbucks will keep the price in theme!

Maybe they'll do that. Maybe it'll happen. Maybe I'll flap my wings and fly to the moon.

The irony is that Disneyland used to be plastered with corporate sponsorships. Logos were usually tastefully presented, but there was a time when the guidebooks and almost every major attraction and food facility was hosted by a major corporation. The sponsorship signs I hated the most were the visually intrusive Kodak and GAF photo spots scattered all over the parks: <a href="http://www.matterhorn1959.com/blog1/signs1.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.matterhorn1959.com/...gns1.jpg</a>
