Nothing will make me eat fast food. It's been 5 years since I ate fast food, I'm never going back.

The 10-year contract that ended in 2006 was an exclusive agreement, meaning that McDonald's couldn't promote non-Disney movies and Disney couldn't make deals with other fast food groups. Disney was involved with McDonalds long before that, just not exclusively. By the end of the contract, McDdonald's wanted out as much as Disney did; it was too restrictive. They both did some partnerships with other companies, and now they're working together again. What's the big deal?

And it's not one of the McDonald boys who was pals with Walt, it's their partner and McDonald's co-founder Ray Kroc; and yes, they did meet in an army camp during WWI. Kroc was an underage ambulance driver, just like Walt.

Perhaps they did however... in 2006 they gave away toys from The Wild , POTC , Cars , and The Little Mermaid. And during the above mentioned dates they did not stop serving food in the parks.

It's kind of obvious considering everytime you go on the dinosaurs ride at animal kingdom they say," This ride was made possible by a generous grant from mcdonalds."

They always do that kinda stuff lol. The only toys that I ever really liked from those places were along time ago when they were giving out the Toy Story toys. I didnt actually get them my self but my grandma collects alot of toys like those and she got a whole bunch of those and made a specific christmas tree that is fake but it's covered in all things of Toy Story. lol it's the best tree in the world!
