Disney associating with McDonald's

I just saw a commercial for Pirates of the Caribbean toys in the Happy Meals. Apparently, Disney just couldn't resist to be associating with the world's most money making fast food place. I guess they just needed more money for things like new Disney channel shows.

So far they arent'. The first thing I did was to check my brothers toy to see if it had codes. No, he did get a tattoo and and patch for his eye. Maybe they will get the hint though. Angel Fancy

I've seen many toys at McDonalds that are Disney
( I never eat there) but I see them in the mall and stuff
So maybe McDonald's just wanted more money

McDonald's associates with Disney. Burger King associates with Nick and Nick related movies. It's just business, I'll say.

Yeah, McDonald's and Disney have been partnered together for years. McDonald's has had food stands in Disney parks, as well as a stand alone restaurant in DownTown Disney. This is not a new thing between the two companies.

Yes, it is. In summer 2006, Disney broke its ties with the fast food chain. They just came back together this March. Disney must have gotten fed up with McD's pawning off Shrek merchandise inside of their parks

McDonalds and Disney go WAY back. They have had lots of promos and I doubt it will stop anytime soon.

Actually, not too far. Disney was still with Burger King into the mid-90's.

Well.. Walt Disney was never associated with Mac McDonald and Walt Disney got rejected by the army because he was underage. He started making comics of World War 1 and 2. He was a RED CROSS ambulance driver, Therefore Mac McDonald never met Walt only read and heard about him.
