The Original Disney World McDonalds

[TheOrangeBird01]

Does anyone have any pictures of the inside of the original Disney World McDonalds? I've looked everywhere on the internet, but I can only find a few of the outside. I seem to remember a big McDonaldland mural somewhere but this could just be my imagination. Thanks to anyone who can help

I found a picture of McDonalds cup lamps in an old photo album. I'm not sure where in WDW this was (I was very young at the time) but I'm thinking Downtown Disney? This was from around 1999.

No pictures of a mural, though!

Thanks for looking and that's really cool! I think if the mural was real it might have been at the location near the All Star Resorts.

The only one I know of was the Mega McDonalds over on Buena Vista Drive

Used to look like this:

Now it looks like this:

Yes I have, but thank you. The Downtown Disney location seems to be the only one with full interior pictures.

How about the short lived fry cart in frontierland?

Better than finding Starbucks in the parks...

That place was the beeeeest. They changed the oil literally every day. When I was a poor college student I'd get a large fry and that would be my meal for the day.

There also was a McDonald's at Downtown Disney Marketplace, near the Lego store. Totally overpriced and nothing memorable about the décor.

You are right. The downtown Disney Marketplace McDonalds next to Lego was an ordinary McDonalds with prices doubled. Never ate there. I believe when it was closed a Pollo Compareo chicken and burger establishment took it,s place. Closed in 2014 I believe when Disney Springs work began.

I didn't realize that McDonald's was there so long. I had a large gap in my Disney trips from 1992 to 2008. The cart was there in 2008 and then gone by my next trip.

I remember going to the one in Downtown Disney when I was little!

Every time someone utters Disney World and McDonalds in the same breath, an angel loses his wings. Or something.

Interesting fact about the two companies is that Ray Kroc and Walt Disney served in the dame ambulance company during WWII.

Strange that I cannot find any either.
There are only a couple of distinct things I remember....In keeping with the exterior characters, it was all very cartoonish and bright, from the black-and white tile to the red vinyl seats. I remember thinking it looked like Pee Wee Herman's house.

It had a television wall that would play classic Disney shorts, and unlike every other McDonalds where the condiment dispensers are simple hand pumps, they used the compressed-air condiment dispensers found at all the counter service places in the parks.
