    Hey all my fellow Canadians
    Im not sure about you but i am addicted to Tim Hortons coffee and hot chocolate.......so i propose that we have a rotating "have parents send you coffee/hotchocolate mix from Tim Hortons" if anyone is up for this please leave a post.....
    the search for something comparable in florida begins.......

    Sheena you are a GENIUS!! I will sign up for that right now! I don't know how I'm going to cope without my double doubles! I've been trying to get my fill this past week but will definately need a fix while I'm there.

    Hi guys i'm from Scotland but my mum and sis visited Canada last year. They were in Calgary and the Rockies and OMG they wouldnt stop going on about good Tim Hortons was for weeks!!! I think they were having withdrawal symptoms!! They brought me some back to try...sooo good but they said the stuff they bought was nothing like the ones made!!

    Have you ever tried Irn Bru??? Its a traditional Scottish Fizzy Drink...incredibly bad for you but the best hangover cure ever!!!!  :D

    Better yet - have parents/friends hand deliver them! ;)

    I kind of miss Tim Hortons... I haven't been to a Tim's since, well, probably Christmas after a sledding adventure with friends :(

    Carol - I had Iron Brew a couple of nights ago! I must say, I do quite like the stuff and, having lived in Scotland for the past year, have spent many a good night on vodka and Iron Bew ;)

    BTW, someone told me "double double" has officially made it into some kind of Canadian dictionary!

    I am in too ;D I will do anything to have my french vanilla cappacino!! YUM :p!!! :D And what are we Canadians going to do without our late summer afternoon and nights ritals of drinking ICE CAPS :eek: ;) :D! Maybe we should all write to Tim Ho's and tell them to set up shop in the Canada Pavillion! ;D I think it is more Canadian then the totem poles at the pavillion! ;)

    Good ol' Tim's. My city has the most Tim Horton's in Canada per capita!
    Moncton is the Tim Horton's capital of Canada!
    I am in on getting friends and family to send us coffee.
    We'll be on a buzz that nobody else will understand



    p.s.
    that commercial is great
    I love patio laterns ( the song too )

    We always had people bring stuff like that and chocolate bars and all dressed and ketchup chips down! The nicest part was when guests would bring us packets of Timmy's coffee!! Not that I like the stuff...but still!

    Don't think the idea of Timmy's in the pavilion hasn't come up! They've discussed it, but it doesn't seem to be working.

    You can get Irn Bru in Publix...ethnic aisle. Most of the stores around where I live here in Toronto sell it too!!! Not that I like it either...but Craig also claims it to be the best hangover cure.

    Already planned to bring down a canister of Tim's coffee and one of the capuccino mixes. I know the capuccino mix isn't the same as the real thing, but it's better than living without Tim's.

    If my family and friends know what's good for them, they will make sure there is a steady stream of Tim's coffee making it's way to Florida. :p

    Tim Horton's coffee has become such a Canadian icon that we should try to get them to sell it at the Canadian Pavillion - that would be so much better than Beavertails!

    Just after I left, there was a big presentation about Tims. There was talk about changing the beavertail hut into Tims. Makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately I think they can't have it because the coffee cart thing between Canada and the UK. Nescafe has the Disney contract.

    ok, i can understand that disney has a prior commitment to nescafe, but... let me ask this:

    is nescafe a uk thing? b/c as far as i know timmy's is more a canadian thing then nescafe. and i'm sure once ppl try timmy's they'll be hooked!

    hi,

    nescafe aint a uk thing. this coffee cart is hold by a particpant that sells coffee from nescafe for disney. so its not easy for disney to get "rid off" nescafe because its more well know than "tim hortons". We dont have "tim hortons" here in Germany and there are so many things we would have changed. In every pavillon there is something untypicall and missing. kinder chocolate is famous here and all the guest are asking for it but there is no way to get it into the german pavillon and i know so many more items ppl asking for in the other pavillons. the only thing u can do is bothering disney and telling the guest to send them emails. so maybe u can get the products into the merchandise shops.

    Oh the Tim Hortons...a morning ritual for most Canadians...lol...a good waker upper for the early bird shifts, thats for sure!! I must say, hte coffee is ok, beacuse Im not much of a coffee drinker...but the ice caps, and cafe mochas, and of course the peach juice is amazing as well!! LOL...

    One way of finding fellow Canadians, is as soon as we start going thru the Timmys withdrawls...LOL

    Cyall there!!
