Mcdonalds at Epcot

[lrodk]

The new Mcdonalds food/beverage stand is now open in Epcot. It's located between Canada and the International Gateway entrance to World Showcase. As you can see from the link below(from WDWMagic.com under the August 8th update), there are no golden arches visible anywhere. Many guests here feared that the new food stand would stick out like a sore thumb, but as you can see the building is pretty non-descript and generic looking.

There was a wall around the MK fry cart on Monday.
Epcot 'McDonalds' serves fries, nuggets and McFlurrys' and is 100% inoconspicuous (no big Ms or the like).
MGM now has a 'McDonalds' as well next to the Disney Vacation Club hut.
The AK McDonalds fry cart is almost impossible to get to since it is at the exit of Tarzan, pretty much the only time you can get fries is just before the show starts and after it ends, seems like such a waste...especially since Donald's becomes a McDonald's after breakfast (I'd rather see a character lunch buffet)

I know the idea of McDonalds in the parks bothers people, and I do understand why, but I kind of like the idea of being able to buy their fries off of a cart and walk around the park eating them!! They are rather addicting you know.

Besides, popcorn gets stuck in my teeth. See? I have big teeth.

They are working on a new frie cart for AK. It is going where the Dino Diner used to be, right at the entrance of Dinoland. It will be called Petrifries.

Also, you will not see the golden arches or Ronald prominent in the parks. Part of the contract with them clearly states that there will be no exterior iconography in any of the Theme parks.

Well, at least the building is unassuming!

I'm not too into McDonald's, being a vegetarian, but Epcot has such great food choices anyway it seems a bit silly to put in a Mickey D's.

Think like a six year old...

Is McDonald's the only place a picky six-year-old will find bland, boring fare? I thought we already had that at the American pavilion.

 

[HorizonsFan]

LOL!
I always thought the food in the American pavilion was suspiciously similar to most of the food at the Magic Kingdom.
McDonald's is not the only place picky kids will find boring food, but it's one of their favorites...

yup ! American Adventure food is my DD's favorite ! Luckily Teppanyaki is a very close second.

Don't you know its rude to smile with food in your mouth!
