The title says it all. The McDonald's in Downtown Diseny will be closing on April 30. A Pollo Campero is set to takeover the location. Pollo Campero is a Latin-based chicken fast food chain. This comes as the 10 year exclusive deal between McDonald's and WDW comes to an end. The location on the property near Animal Kingdom is not affected by this and will remain open.

You're kidding?! Now the only place you can get McDonald's fries is in Animal Kingdom?! That's a bummer.
McDonald's fries and a Coke taste amazing in WDW. I remember eating them in Fantasyland, those were the best fries and Coke I had ever had. The replacement fries they have just don't cut it.

Finally! Somebody who liked the McD Fries besides me! I got raked over the coals for saying that in another thread about snacks. I loved having those fries as a snack in MK!

I am shocked! And never heard of the other place. We had never visited the McDonalds there but I always thought it was a smart business move for them to have the location.

Did McDonald's loose an agreement with WDW or something?

Isn't there still a McDonalds over by the All-Star resorts? Or am I dating myself?

I'm not sure about the All Star. As for you dating yourself...well have you thought of getting out more?

I would've backed you up mindflipper! I don't remember that thread. But, I remember...when we were there in '07 and in '08, we all sat down in Fantasyland with McD fries and a Coke...none of us spoke until it was all gone. Just something about being in WDW with those fries/Coke and good company. Never tasted so good! I'm sad it's gone.

I never heard of Pollo Campero. I'm gonna end up looking it up online. I would always first grab a burger and a soda as I walked Downtown Disney. Now I guess I'll walk around with a sandwich from Earl of Sandwich
