Does this mean we can start buying 14 day park passes? Will we get Free Dining offers before the General Public?

14 day passes would be awesome! (as long as it's less than an annual pass)

Well if the residents of the U.K. got those offers because they were the top international tourists, I guess Canadians should get that or something very similar when we officially become #1.

Sometimes I wonder how these marketing types get their jobs. All this marketing at Union Station is just a waste of money.

If you want more Canadians to visit Florida, it's all very simple - just build a Timmies and we will come.

There was a jab about this in the Unofficial guide to Walt Disney World (2009 edition) as they suggested Tim's as a potential Canada vendor at World Showcase - wondering if they know something we don't??? I would love to see a Tim's at the World - it's the only thing I miss when I'm away from home! (kids and mother in law aside of course!!!

I would think any information they give about rumours in WDW is as realiable when we here them from WDW bus drivers.

Doesn't anyone at Disney realize they would make a lot of money on good coffee?

 

[Ted in Halifax]

Now that is funny ... Disney Coffee is horrible ...

Obviously they don't.

I took my Tim Horton's Travel mug with me to Epcot on our last trip and lost count of how many people asked me if they had finally put a Timmies in the Canada pavilion!!

 

[PrincessMom4]

We should start a petition to have a TH put in the Canada pavillon in EPCOT. Also I noticed there were very little to none Canadian flags around this showcase.

Ben voyons donc!

Half the Quebecers already lived in FL in the winter!

Have you had the coffee at Kona or Contemporary Grounds? BLOWS Timmies out of the water IMHO.

I'm certainly doing MY part to make Canada the top international market My credit cards will be going into meltdown after my 2 trips planned for 2010 too!

I had a good laugh at this one. Of all the things to lug around the parks, and you're lugging a TH mug.
