A coffee, whatever tastes good and I'll stay out of the Starbucks vs. Australian coffee debate because I know in the 2 years I lived down there I never had a good cup of coffee unless I made it. After the coffee goes a glass of juice, preferably Cranberry then a glass of rum cream to wash it down.

If breakfasting at home I always have a cup of tea with milk, if on the road then I have a hot chocolate. I have a have something hot that is not coffee to get a jump-start on my morning.
I developed coffee phobia 8 years ago and have not touched it ever since (painful memories of throwing up in PHX due to coffee related heartburn)

Something tells me that was a far better option than the current Nescafe version. (Oh, and their 'espresso' drinks at most Disney-run outlets don't contain any coffee, or any milk, just as a 'Dole Whip' contains no dairy in the whip) Truly magical, they are!

It's many, many years since I visited Disneyland (the original) and I don't recall drinking coffee there - but it would be a pretty safe bet for me to say that I didn't. Our Canadian friend has put me in the mood to revisit Disneyland Paris during my next trip to France in a few months; if I go I may see what passes for coffee there and report on it. Purely for social research purposes of course...

A mouse that makes coffee - didn't you post a Youtube link about that recently

Any beverage that contains the word "Drink" in its description is a dead giveaway.

I'll admit to fondness for coffee flavoured milk that I can buy in 2 litre containers at my local supermarket - it is actually full cream milk. As long as I remind myself that it doesn't contain any actual coffee then I quite enjoy it.

Like most things in Disneyland Paris, it is far better than in the American parks. And thankfully that absurd 'free but really not free' dining program didn't make it to France to ruin the food like it did in the US parks.

They until recently served a different version of Nescafe, more to European tastebuds, so typically Americans seem to think that it tastes like engine oil. Sadly, there is now a Starbucks in Disney Village so I suppose that they can go there for American style coffee. And for those wanting better coffee in general, there are a few places in the train station. (I believe that they currently serve Segafredo)

I'm willing to consider a short train trip after work in the next few weeks to do a taste test if need be.

Ok.. last couple of meals.. I've tried tea without sugar..

The green tea bag without sugar actually tastes like the Chinese Tea of grown up accustomed to without the leaves..

Lowering the sugar intake for the long term.. I wonder if it'll make a difference..

Freshly squeezed juices. Usually Grapefruit or Orange, but when I travel often fresh apple juice, pomello juice, guava juice, tomato juice, vegitable juices, etc...

And coffee, preferably Julius Meinl or Illy.
