McDonald’s at Downtown Disney is Closing 4-30-10

It always irked me that it was there. Yes I did order once or twice but I'd have been much happier with something like Pollo Campero. As for kids they should eat what is given to them or not eat at all.

Being packed doesn't equal being profitable if your costs (i.e. rent) are sky-high.

Regardless of sky high rent, there is no indication that the McDonald's in DTD wasn't profitable. They've been there a long time and surely would have pulled out long ago if it was losing money.

I wouldn't care about McDonalds if Disney offered nutrional information on their food. I used to be a McD hater before my daughter was diagnoised with T1D. But at least if we go to McDonalds we can easily get the carb count of a children's chicken nugget with milk and apples from the side of the bag.

Anyone made friends with the squirrel while eating at McDs there? Little stinker would sit right on ya begging for a french fry.

That's better than the birds in Frontierland where I have seen them pull the food right out of people's hands. I saw one guy trying to explain to his wife he did not eat the hotdog he had just bought. And she wasn't believing him.

We ate there several night when we went. A cheap option that was quick. Hate to see it go.

How could you go that long without a Shamrock Shake?

Their Sharmrock Shakes are delicious!

Nice to see a Jason Garcia article after hearing him on the DIS Unplugged.

When he says the one by Animal Kingdom will remain open, I hope he's talking about the one over by All-Stars with the giant characters. We've never stopped there, but always enjoy seeing how "even the McDonald's are Disney-fied and larger than life!"

I don't understand why people turn into such melodramatic snobs when it comes to McDonald's.
"It's poison! It's garbage! What horrible disgusting rubbish! I haven't eaten there since 1983!!!"

I ate there today. I only had a dollar and some change on me and was able to walk in and grab a McDouble off the value menu to tide me over until I could get home. Fast and convenient hot food. A few hours later I'm doing fine and not rolling over with stomach pains or food poisoning......
