food IS a theme park
Heads up everyone: McDonald’s is creating a spin-off restaurant chain!
We love the McDonald’s near Disney World
Oh yes! We often report to you on the latest Disney Happy Meal toy news, as well as other important news that comes out of the popular restaurant chain. If you’ve been hearing whispers about the company’s spin-off restaurant chain, we now have our first look at the menu!
Just when we thought we were out, those Golden Arches pull us back in.
Happy Meal, anyone?
We’re talking about McDonald’s, of course! Perhaps you followed along on our quest to collect all the Disney100 Happy Meal Toys, or even voted in our hot office-wide debate about which Happy Meal reigns supreme. If you can’t get enough of the fast food giant, we’ve got some exciting news!
Regardless of knowing how unhealthy McDonald’s might be, we just can’t stay away.
McDonald’s
Something about the deep-fried, salty burgers and fries keeps us going back for more. However, McDonald’s has most notably opted for faster food over fresher, better-quality items. But now, the popular fast-food joint is opting for quality as it works to stay in the running with other hamburger restaurants.
Bet you didn’t know we were besties with McDonald’s?!
Drum roll, please…
Okay, maybe besties is a BIT of stretch. But they slide into our texts from time to time (technically because we signed up to receive alerts, but who’s really paying attention to that?). Each time we get messages from the person who runs the McDonald’s account, we find ourselves scratching our heads because of their cryptic hints. So today we’re breaking down all the past surprises they’ve shared!
2023 has been a big year for McDonald’s!
Ba Da Ba Ba Bah…
From the viral Grimace Shake to the popular Disney100 toys to the fan-favorite Halloween Happy Meal Boo Buckets, we’ve found ourselves in the drive-thru at the fast food giant more times than we’d care to admit. But it looks like we’ll all be planning another visit soon…because McDonald’s just announced its next big offering!
Sure, McDonald’s has been around for a while. And yes, those classic menu items never change. But every once in a while, we find something new at McDonald’s, and next thing you know, we’re ordering McDonald’s for dinner. What can we say? Sometimes, you just need some french fries and a cheeseburger, right?
Ba Da Ba Ba Bah…
Well, we’re not here to tell you what to do, but we are here to share the news that a NEW menu item has just arrived for a limited time (and you might want to go check it out)!
McDonald’s Crocs wasn’t something we thought we needed, but now that they’re available, we’re so glad they exist.

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for some really special people in your life, these new fast food-inspired clogs might be it (as long as they’ve got a great sense of humor, of course!). [Read more…]
If you’re like us, you’ve been running around to different McDonald’s collecting the new Disney100 Happy Meal toys.
Daisy, Shang-Chi, and an army of Simbas and Ednas
These adorable additions to Happy Meals will be available for a few months, and there are over 50 to collect. However, as we’ve been happily collecting these adorable figurines, we’ve started to run into a problem.
It’s hard to believe that we’re nearing the end of 2023, and with that, the end of Disney’s 100th Anniversary Celebration.
Disney100 Celebration
We celebrated hard both inside and outside of the Disney Parks, and some of our favorite brands and companies other than Disney even joined in on the celebration. One of those companies was McDonald’s! If you’ve followed along with the team here at DFB for a while, then you probably already know that we’re all suckers for the occasional Happy Meal. (A guilty pleasure cheeseburger and a toy?) Count us in! Anyway, McDonald’s actually released 62 (!!!) new Disney100 Happy Meal toys that you can collect between now and December 4th. (That’s gonna take a LOT of Happy Meals to collect them all.) While all of them are great, there are a few that we’re particularly excited about. Let’s check them out!
What started as an innocent office debate quickly turned into a passionate, heated contest. In fact, we couldn’t settle the debate on our own. So we brought in reinforcements. Over 3,000 reinforcements. With the help of our readers, our McDonald’s debacle was put to rest. A victor was crowned. Tears were shed. Let’s get into it.
Ba Da Ba Ba Bah…
Actually, let’s back up for a moment first. This all started when the new Disney 100th Anniversary Happy Meal collection first launched. McDonald’s announced that it would release 62 Disney-themed Happy Meal toys, and the obsessive Disney collector gene inside us decided to take this as a personal challenge to collect them all. So, we started ordering Happy Meals. Lots, and lots, and lots of Happy Meals. And it got us thinking: when you order McDonald’s, are you team cheeseburger or team chicken nuggets? From there, a debate was born.
