McDonald's leaving the parks?

[bork]

From everyone's favorite, Al Lutz:

While bigger tourists may be to blame for the stuck boats at it's a small world, they won't be able to blame the McDonalds fries for sale at Disneyland much longer. Word from TDA is that some big changes are coming to several key sponsorship deals around the parks, and likely the first to depart will be McDonalds. In Anaheim, McDonalds sponsors two French Fry stands on the west side of Disneyland, plus the standalone Burger Invasion restaurant that offers an abbreviated McDonalds menu.

He only mentions Disneyland, but could this also apply to WDW? I'd be happy to see McD's leave the parks, but they have a bigger presence at WDW, especially Dinoland.

Now what are we going to feed the ducks at Epcot? Just kidding, although we did feed them a couple. :lookaroun

Since they sponsor the whole Dinoland area (and Nemo Musical) it seems unlikely Restaurantosaurus will be going anywhere soon. Who knows about the ones in the other parks?

But they haven't done away with Dairy in their fries. We always avoid McD's fries becuase of our son's allergies. Disney's fries are fine, though.

Good! I don't like McDonald's I really loves Burger King! I hope Disney and Burger king team up!

 

[maggiegrace1]

Burger King fries are HORRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wilt Dasney]

Dosesn't the Disneyland/McDonalds partnership date back to Walt?

 

[doop]

Burger King fries are HORRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen to that.

IMO good riddance. With all the delicious food at the parks its shocking that french fries were that popular.

Inedible is more accurate!

I would love to see McDonald's vacate Disney. Hopefully a new and exciting option would go into the Refreshment Port in World Showcase.

I'd rather Disney just do its own food, but if they were to partner with someone like that, I'd like to see Arby's. Yeah, I know it'll never happen.

Wouldn't bother us one way or the other. I don't necessarily like their presence, but I don't mind the fry stands too much as long as they blend into theming and they don't overtake the parks.

I personally prefer to eat something other than McDonalds food when I'm at WDW, but we've stopped at the location on property on our way back to AKL after a late night in the parks. Honestly though, we only stopped there because there is nothing else available at that time.
