The cow is still used whether it has BO or not. I think they call it a "quarter pounder".

The cow is still used whether it has BO or not. I think they call it a "quarter pounder".
Just FYI but the smell of a rotting cow and a cooked cow are quite different. The BO comes from the lack of people bathing in the 1800's (no running water). This is prevalent in WDW during the summer months but it is a result of somewhat natural processes and not an element of theming added by th imagineers.

The imagineers have mastered chili dog burps and skunk so I am not so sure they are not piping in some of the "old west" smells you talk about.
It smells so funky by the french fry cart maybe they have recreated the old west smell you refer to. :hurl:
Again just FYI...
For entertainment bad smells are OK and sometimes quite effective and funny.
For a restaurant bad smells are the kiss of death. Fill Cinderella's Royal Table with the odor of raw sewage and I am pretty sure that it will no longer book out 180 days in advance.

FMI, is that why they closed down the french fry cart?

Im curious why they're expanding on it if they're planning to take McDonald's out of Disney World soon....

I just hope that the wraps and nuggets are the McDonald's ones and not the disney ones because the disney ones are junk and taste terrible. As it is, there is nothing to eat in MK except a Dole Whip. It would be nice to have something fast food that tastes good.
I'd also like to see them open El Pirata full time. You know when was in MK in July and sitting in El Pirata, they were closing the restaurant early because they were running out of food. Can you believe it, running out of food, so that just tells you if you open it, people will eat there because it's not the same run of the mill fast food garbage.

I can't find the thread (and no time for further searches), but I thought the deal was that the contract for Disneyland and the contract for WDW were different. Disneyland let it go when it expired, but WDW's is still valid. Also, WDW has 2 full blown McDonald's location on premise, Downtown and near the All-Star resorts. Those aren't going anywhere as they're huge revenue generators.
Though I am not a fan of McD's, I have read some very good points on the boards about the purpose it serves when little ones become over stressed with so much stimulation on a vacation. A "taste of familiarity", which <exhale> they do bring, helps mitigate meltdowns.
Now as for all those smell comments......:ROFLOL:
In all fairness, I'm sure the vegetarian guests at WDW pinch their noses at the Turkey Leg carts, so I'll discreetly do that by the fry stand. :lookaroun

I think part of the problem is the long name of the place that doesn't really indicate what kind of food it is.
Now, if it said 'Taco Bell' then people would know.
Nobody knows what kind of food a Pirate and the Pelican restaurant has, even if they speak Spanish.
They need to rename the place.
The MK does need a good Tex-Mex (Mexican) restaurant.
IHMO.

I agree. Regarding who get's it, perhaps it's just a slogan issue?

OK.
How about 'Ye Olde Taco Shoppe'?
Or 'Captain Jack's Tacos'.
Or 'The Hairy Leg'.
Or 'The Powder Keg'.
Or 'The Swash Buckle'.
Or 'Broadside Tavern'.
Anything is better than 'El Pirata y El Perico'.
We have Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurants all over around here and none of them has a name that long. Usually it's only two words. Most restaurants, of any type, don't use long names.
That counter service restaurant would double its business if they just gave it a decent name, one that people will notice and can remember.

Then how about just "TACO SALAD" :slurp:
Because they could drop everything else off the menu, as far as I'm concerned.
Except for maybe adding Dr. Pepper.
