I concur....however....some people obvioulsy cannot make their own choices...or should I say "intelligent" choices. I believe that anyone should be able to make their own decisions AS LONG as it doesn't effect anyone else's rights or well being.

If you want to smoke, go right ahead. however, don't tell me its your right! Sure, but is it your right for me to have to inhale it while I try to eat my steak? or that you stand right in the door way so that everyone that comes in and out gets to smell like a stale ashtray?

Same goes for fatty foods and other things bad for you. If you want potatoes that have been cooked in a jacuzzi of oil and then blanketed with salt, them have at it. BUT!!!!! Why do I have to pay outrageous health care premiums because of your round figure?

Here in NJ, it is a "right to insure" state. You basically CANNOT be denied health care if you pursue your own benefits becuase your job doesnt provide them, etc. For me, I'm 37, dont smoke, and in great physical shape......and I get to pay $2000/month....just the same as a 42 year old who smokes 2 packs a day and is 100 pounds overweight. The law states that you can't discreminate because of pre-existing conditions, so insurance companies basically just charge any self-insured all the same rate!! GREAT!! Its so bad in NJ that there are only like 6 possible choices TOTAL for self-insured becuase all fo the companies figured out there there is no money to be made in this market. Thankfully, my company offers benefits, but it was something I though I was going ot have to pursue.

So while I do agree that people should make their own decisions, it just es me off to no end that I have to PAY for their DECISIONS!! And NO, I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT OVER WEIGHT PEOPLE!! It is your life, live it the way you want! But having been a fireman for 15 years, I've had to "help" enough overweight people simply becuase they could not overcome the force of gravity! So I guess I'm getting a bit biased as time goes on ;)

I want to open a theme park or restaurant and offer chili cheese deep-fried trans-fat on a stick. Up size it to include a carton of cigarettes as well for only $25.

Anyone who complains receives a complimentary life time ban from any of my facilities.

I agree with the above post 100%.
Im a firefighter also and the "overweight" folks you talk about is sopt on!
Sad thing is..mosty of them are STILL eating while wating for me to pick them up!:veryconfu
And the folks on oxygen with copd that still smoke!!!!:zipit:
Anyways, I completely understand what you are saying!
If people just used common sense, eat less if you weigh too much, eat more if you weigh too little.
Dont smoke, It isnt rocket science to know that smoking is just plain ignorant.
but to get back to the point...
LEAVE the fries there!

I'm one of those people who never eats at McDonalds but we got fries for a snack while at the Studios in May and I have to tell you....they were good. Hot, crisp, and fresh - all the things they never are at the McDonald's in the real world. I'd get them again within WDW.

On the other hand, if they removed them from the parks, I wouldn't cry, but even if you're not normally a Micky D's kinda person, I think you'd be surprised at how much tastier the fries are within WDW.

Oh and yeah, as of May anyway, there was still the fry outpost in the WS before you enter Canada.

I was going to say the same thing. The McDonalds fries at WDW taste so much better than at any McDonalds.

You mean like hamburgers, chicken strips (or nuggets now, I suppose), fish and chips, clam chowder, a club sandwich, pizza, etc, etc...;)


Sorry, couldn't resist.


Please stand by for the mass of people saying they are happy seeing McDonald's go, as they will tell you a big corporate name ruined their experience, didn't "fit" with the Disney magic, were disgusting or one of several other strange reasons. Oh, they will usually say this right after they buy a Coca Cola, Dole whip or their Kodak film.:cool:

Hey! Welcome back!
:wave:

I REALLY hope they don't get rid of them at Magic Kingdom. They are great for not having to pay an arm and a leg for a quick and filling snack, plus they're always WAY better than any outside WacDonald's, and WAY better than the fries they serve in the restaraunts.

Same here...I love my post SM snack!:lol:

I agree with you, EpcotServo - WDW McDonalds fries are way better than McDs fries at home. In WDW, the grease is changed regularly and fries tend to be much more fresh due to the volume of people being served.

At my local McDs, the fries are soggy and taste like old grease, in addition to being cold (the reason I very rarely ever get McDonalds fries except in WDW).

I actually don't like WDW fries at all, unless they're Figaro Fries. They are a bit soggy and not very tasty. My family tends to get McDs fries in WDW as a snack between meals, so if this is true, it looks like a great opportunity to try something new, I guess.

Hmm. . . I'm more of a Wendy's fry fan. I like more meat (so to speak) to my fry then I get with a McDonald's fry. So for me, I couldn't care one way or another. BTW, what are Figaro fries?

Fries with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Only available at Pinnochio's Village Haus.

Believe me, it helped for us to have access to McD's fries when my niece wouldn't eat anything else back in October.

it's been reported on another disney site that mcdonald's fries are being removed from disneyland after labor day.

Does anyone know if they will do the same at the magic kingdom??? Frankly, i could care less, but i always found it funny that people would overpay to get something that is found in almost any town in the free world....
