Originally Posted By FerretAfros Hmm. I've never eaten there, but I always assumed that it did pretty good business. I've always heard that the other one by the All Stars is one of the busiest McDonald's in the world. It seems a little strange that that one would be so popular, but the DTD one wouldn't. I guess there are other options in DTD, which people are more willing to eat at, compared to the other one that only has the All Star food courts nearby...

Many of our friends--even those with annual passes--would eat at McDonalds simply because it was cheaper. So it did serve a purpose.
