Why is McDonalds closing their DD location?

No, I wanted something healthier then a fried chicken place and not necessarily fast food. Something like Season 52 or even like Sunshine Seasons in The Land.

Something like Crispers would be good too, but the issue is that any kind of sandwich shop is going to compete directly with Earl of Sandwich.

McDonald's should never have been in the marketplace in the first place. Good Riddance. The upcoming chicken place isn't my first choice either, but its better than Mcdonald's simply because there isn't one in every little community in America.

Now, there is that Mcdonald's over by the All-Star Resorts that needs to be introduced to a bulldozer...

Boy, ya' took the words right out of my mouth. Walt Disney World has to be an experience that you don't have on every other block in the USA.
Good ridance, I say.

Ohh, how about a Paneras? That's like Crispers, only far better.

It's more like GFC (Guatemala Fried Chicken) although Disney's been pushing the fact that they grill chicken too. It's still a fast food chain.

Yea, but not one that's on every street corner in this country.

There are several of these places around Chicago. The food is decent with some different offerings. But it will cost more to eat here than McD. And how many parents of little ones stop here to get their kids a chicken nugget fix at decent prices. If McD had to go I wish they could have found something better.

the contract between McDonalds and Disney ended a couple of years ago. McDonald's leased the location at DtD. I don't know why, but it was a mutual decision for McDonalds to terminate the contract. If you recall, McDonalds also had the fry cart in Adventureland as well as another fry-style cart at Epcot.

Got this "scoop" from a Disney bus driver going thru the drive-thru at Burger King; McDonalds left WDW because they promote SHREK and SHREK is "tie into" UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. He also said there is a WALGREENS going in on the corner by the AMC shows DTD.

The Mcdonalds @ DTD was a store owned and operated by the McDonalds Corporation. The McDonalds by Ak is owned and operated by someone how pays McDonalds to use the name and sell the products. So as long as the owner keeps paying the rent and paying McDonalds to use the name than it will be there for a long time.
