That's a relief. Less toys = Less kids in McDonalds. YAY!

I'm anti-junk food

i love mcdonalds. i eat there seven times a day. although i now weigh 452 pounds, i'm still very content with the disney-based toys i have received. its a shame that there won't be anymore. guess i'll have to cut back to just eight happy meals at every meal.

good I hate McDonald's. I get mad that there's one in Disneyland seeing as how Walt didn't want any when he was still in charge.

to be fair, mcdonalds was still a fairly new enterprise when disneyland opened. it didn't start to franchise until 1955. i'm sure if mcdonlads was at the size it is today in 1955, it would have been asked to be in the park just like coke, pepsi, and others

This is what i don't get, people choose to eat/let their children eat at mcdonalds. these lawsuits are absolutely rediculous, you choose your lifestyle accept responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others, i personally am slightly overweight and if i wanted to could change my eating habits but personally i am happy with the way that i look and with who i am and do not choose to blame anyone other than myself for my current weight, that is my opinion on the matter

Oh well. Even though I need something to promote me to eat junk food... I'm underweight. But I have always been so...
I don't think losing Disney toys is really gonna have too much impact on either company, although McDonalds' is gonna have to find some other toys for the little kids. XD

Well, they say they will no longer target children by making Disney toys for happy Meals, BUt they are going to try to target the adults. Maybe it is about time adults get cool disney merchandise with their food.

But this new image makes sense since they are changing their image all the way. I mean I have seen the start of MC.D's new look. We have one of the new buildings built here...no red roof and very modern inside. It does look good. I do not think much change will be in the parks since they do not offer HAPPY MEALS in many of their fast food areas, just nuggets and such.

Well, no Disney Happy meal toys will stop me from buying happy meals. (Yes, I still like the toys) Well, glad I got the Disneyland Paris cups that have been given in the Happy Meals here.

Also, I have seen a new brand of healthier hotdog buns that had Tigger on the package, so this is already in progress.

Kudos to Mc donalds

Ah, yes, they're going to try and make it so you can actually RECORD a show owned by Disneyonto a phone, laptop, etc.

McDonald's? From what I read, it was Disney that was making the motion because the beat of the lawsuit wouldn't harm them as much...

Look above. That's the reason why. Not because someone has started sueing them for having the so called "franchise" you say it is.
And why do you sound like you're against Disney for some reason? @_@
