Disney World Suggestion Box; Do we really have to drink this stuff?
In today’s Suggestion Box I place an idea that is really more of a plea for help than just a suggestion. I hope if Disney World management reads this they truly understand that distinction.
Dear Mouse,
I don’t just want today’s suggestion…I need it. Please, in the name of all that is good in this world, can we have some decent coffee!!!
You’ve given us so much to do when we visit. We are up at the crack of dawn for rope-drop so we can see the e-ticket attractions without waiting in an hour long line. We spend all day walking miles and miles to great restaurants. We stay out past the kid’s bedtimes for fireworks, and maybe the adult beverage if we have no kids. We can squeeze in a few hours of incredibly sound sleep due to exhaustion, but it is never enough after all that activity. We always wake up excited for a new day, but more and more tired as the vacation goes on. A nice cup of coffee would make a huge difference. But no, we can not find such a thing in our resort or even in the parks.
Instead, we buy our refillable mugs out of pure necessity and fill it with something that tastes like someone ran mulch and motor oil in a blender. It even smells bad as it comes out of the machine. All the sugar and half and half in the world can not successfully mask the pungent after-taste that stays with you until lunch.
Isn’t there something we can do about this? You have so much good food. Why can’t we have good coffee too? Can’t we find a good corporate sponsor to take over the coffee contract? I don’t need Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. I’m not being greedy. All I need is something that is drinkable. Is this really too much to ask?
Thank you,
An Exhausted Guest

The reality is it’s all about corporate sponsorship. Nestle has their deal for their god-awful coffee and that’s the end of it.

Like Matt said, it all has to do with Disney’s contract with Nestle. When we want a good cup of coffee we drive off property to the nearest Starbucks. Some would say that isn’t good coffee, but it’s a lot better than the black swill you find at WDW. Disneyland is a little better because you can walk to La Brea bakery right outside the gates in Downtown Disney for a good cup of joe. And putting aside the bad coffee for a sec, have you tried the hot chocolate? Ugh!! Just as bad.
