Breaking News - WDW and McDonalds to part ways

[WebmasterJohn]

Hey Gang

Just received some insider info that Walt Disney World and McDonalds are ending their partnership for 'in park' food. The 'free standing' McDonalds locations at DTD and the one by the All Stars are not affected by thism but the one's in the park (e.g. fries in AK) will be coming to an end.

I do not have an official date on when this will happen but my source tells me 'soon'.

This does not affect any other relationships Disney and McDonalds may have at this time (i.e. cross promotional movie deals, etc) - just the in park locations that serve McDonalds foods.

Wow, it's an end of an era! This would explain some of the changes in the food, possibly. I for one am happy to see Disney offering healthier food options.

Just don't take away my McDonald Toys.

Are they trying to do away with "sub-par food at outrageously expensive prices"? Only time will tell.

 

[amyhughes]

In a way I am kinda relieved. Every time I would see "There's Gold In Them Thar Fries" I would instantly get a craving for McDonald's fries in the middle of Frontierland! And then I would smell them in AK and be right back to where I started!

It was kind of a nice break from MKs counter service fries so I dunno. Guess I am torn.

Thanks for the info, John. In a way I'm relieved. I won't have to listen to my kids begging me for fries

I hope they don't take away the movie promotion stuff though. I let my kids get "Happy Meals" just so I can get the Disney toys....Does that make me a bad mom?

I just hope Disney doesn't partner up with Burger King, them is some nasty french fries!

That sums up what I would have written in 3 paragraphs...

 

[safetymom]

Wow! I wonder what they are going to replace them with?

God forbid Burger King or Dairy Queen... and especially Hardee's!!!

Exactly. Give us some Mouseburgers and Duckfries that we can yearn for when we're not there and complain about when we are.

 

[cocowum]

Dang it! I'm gonna miss my Petri Fries...

And they have one creepsville mascot too. Or, am I the only one that gets freaked out by "The King?"

And Ronald McDonald is not???

Hey, Regina, have I got a clown for YOU!

 

[amyhughes]

As far as creepy mascots, that King mascot is totally bugging me out!

Ronald McDonald, ehh ok, as long as I don't see him in person. That red buffont (sp?) has to go though! Blood Red feathered hair went out in the 80's!

 

[Tissa]

Casey's buns and now Mc Donalds fries. What's next?
