Icon24 McDonald's rampage at Disneyland

Comment: Is it true that McDonald's is banned from the Disneyland Hotel
forever? I have a co-worker who says she worked for McDonald's in the
early 80s and they booked the entire hotel for a weeklong session of
training seminars. On the final day, a Saturday, many of the employees
partook of the free booze that McDonald's had offered and rampaged through
the hotel, breaking things and throwing chairs into the pool from the
guest rooms high above. Supposedly to this day McDonald's is no longer
welcome on Disney property (except to sell French Fries) and McDonald's
withholds alcohol from all company functions.

I heard that Goofy required years of therapy after what Ronald did to him.

Sorry, big guy. At least I will never reveal any of the gruesome details.

I dunno about the OP, but there used to be 2 McDonald's on the Walt Disney World property. One was in Downtown Disney and was removed sometime in the last 8 years, and the one that's still there is a free-standing restaurant near the value resorts.

I know McD's and Disney don't do as much cross-promotion as they used to, but that's really been in the last few years.

I even did a Google search and the first thing that came up was the OP.

Disney

According to Yesterland, a website about the history of Disneyland/Disney World, a contract between Disney and McDonald's expired in 2007 and McDonald's was phased out completely in 2008.

Call me crazy, but I believe I found the source of the problem.
