Not very many people are as into Disney as I am, at least around where I live. Although I love Disneyland to the point where I’m an annual passholder (who lives in Canada, go figure), it’s the history of Disney and Walt Disney that really gets my motor running.

Who doesn’t love Starbucks coffee syrup? I always ask for a shot of sugar free vanilla coffee syrup in my my morning blonde roast, and because I know it’s sugar free I don’t worry about adding a ton of fat or calories to my coffee.
