Does anyone else miss McDonalds fries?

[alternativepirate]

So what are your thoughts on McDonalds fries being taken out of the park?


I miss them a lot. It became a tradition to get McDonalds fries at Mrs.Potts or at Animal Kingdom.

I haven't been since they took them out, so I guess I can't miss them yet, but I am disappointed to hear they took them out. I did enjoy Petrifries!

In 17 days we'll be making our first trip since they've taken McDonald's fries away. My DW was very upset to hear about this. As much as we love the Disney food, it was nice to look forward to that one day where we'd pickup some McD's fries at AK. It's not going to ruin our trip, but we will notice their absence.

Are they gone from all the parks? We love to use up snack credits on them in MK on our last day. It was nice to get good, hot fries... something the CS places don't provide.

When did they take the fries out of the park? Why did they decide to take the fries out?

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I had no idea they took them out either. Our last trip was May 2008 and they had fries in a few different places that we noticed.

When did they take them out? I could have sworn I saw them at AK last when I was there in March.

McDonald's fries are so much better then Disney fries. I'll miss them, the fries were one of the few things we still got food wise while at Disney. Disney priced as out awhile back so we just eat before/after we get to the parks, it's just too expensive. If we weren't local and we would've been priced out of Disney all together years ago.

Contract was up I think and they didn't renew? Don't quote me on that, but I know all the McDonalds stuff is gone from Disneyland, too.

I'm happy to see them gone, personally. They were unnecessary, and I agree that "McDonalds is everybwhere, I don't need it in the parks".

Yeah, Disney fries are no comparison to how good McD fries are, but I won't miss them.

I miss the macdonald fries, the disney fries are just not good. macdonalds fries were always tasty and hot.

I'm personally very happy they're not in the parks anymore. Now I don't have to worry about any of the fries I eat at the parks containing beef flavoring.

I agree completely. When we go to Disney I never get the fries anyways so it is really not a big deal to me. Also, we have McD's all over the place where we live so not having them in the parks is not going to make my vacations less magical.

What!! Had no idea they were being taken away. My husband and I always say that they taste better at WDW, especially at petrifries at AK. That was our traditional snack at AK.

Well, that news will please my husband at least. He's very worried about eating heathily while we're away. To be honest, I don't mind either way, but I was looking forward to having a 'proper' McDonalds while in Disney! Is it just the fries that have gone, or has the McDonalds in DTD closed too?

Only all the park stuff has gone away, the DTD location is still there, and it's a full McDonalds.

I think it was a park contract that ended. (All the McD's stuff in Disneyland closed, too).

I hope Epcot still has McFlurries.

You are correct.

 

[crocnzen]

Don't miss them, I try never to eat "chain" food while on any trip...

 

[anotherdisneygal]

I get McDonald's fries one time when we are in Disney and that's the only time I let myself eat them. I guess it's better for me that they are gone, but I'll miss them!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

You are correct.

Thanks for the confirmation!
I thought that's what I was but I couldn't remember when I'd last heard about it.
