Disneyland to McDonald's : Get Out

Nancy Luna over at the Orange County Register follows up on the story I broke on July 28th, and Al Lutz followed up on August 5th....

Quote:

Mickey Mouse is booting burger giant McDonald’s from his two Orange County theme parks.

Officials at both Disneyland and McDonald’s have confirmed with the Orange County Register a recent story posted on MiceAge, a Disneyland chat forum: McDonald’s is history after Labor Day.
Check out the link for the official responses, and the statement that McDonald's will remain on property at WDW.

McDonalds doesn't belong in the parks, nor should it ever. Not gonna miss you, overpriced garbage.

I wish the headline was WDW to McDonald's: Get Out.

It's a more serious offense over there.

FYI, AP, Reuters and Bloomberg all picked up the OC Register story and placed it on its wire services, which has sent the story out internationally...
