When Splash Mtn. opened Mc'Ds had a game to win tickets to DL. I won 10 that year.

Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife I do not miss the McD's french fries at all. When our girls were little, I never let them get them because we did not travel 385 miles to eat something that we can get 1/4 of a mile away from our house. Our treats have always been churros, Mickey ice cream sandwiches and such. Nothing that we can get at home, though. Even popcorn is different than what we can get at home. Popcorn at home comes out of a microwave bag, not a popping kettle.

If we miss the fries, it's probably because nothing better has come along to replace them, right? So that's the issue...if you're going to take something out, you've got to replace it with something better...
