Downtown Disney changes

[bliss]

According to the Orlando Sentinel, on April 30th, McDonald’s at Downtown Disney is closing and Pollo Campero will be taking their place in late 2010. This is due to the expiration of a sponsorship pact between McDonald’s Corp. and Walt Disney Co.

Never eat at that location but it seems a more internationally known franchise than Pollo Campero

McD's is fine but DTD should be about unique flavors.

Someone else has posted a thread about Pollo Campero...sorry that I did not read that..and this is really the first time I have even heard of them. It will be kinda strange not seeing a golden arch in DTD.

Yes... That is exactly what DTD is turning in to. A place with unique flavors... :zipit: :lookaroun

I would sometimes stop there to grab an orange drink on the long trek from one side of DTD to the other. The place would be very crowded every time.

All I can guess is that McDonald's might be getting the boot.

Oh, who called it!

Perhaps this is the "bold new vision" we've heard so little about?

No, this is Marketplace not PI. But it is a big step forward.

 

[trr1]

Does this mean that the McDonalds near all stars is leaving also?

 

[brent2124]

I doubt it with the major overhaul it had recently. What else could that space be used for?

Well, it's only like 100 feet from the entrance to the "Bold New Vision". :shrug:

The article jt linked says "McDonald’s will continue to operate its restaurant near the entrance to the Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park."

A portal perhaps :shrug:

I believe they're refering to the existing one that's between AK & the All Star Resorts

Good move... and yuca fries might actually get me to go in there!

I am sure whoever did will make a post letting us all now they told us so....

Hey, good thinking, in fact that sounds like a great idea for a thread title!
