The ‘Epic McD’ in Orlando: A Two-Story McDonald’s with Arcade, Play Place, and Theme Park Vibes
McDonald's is known globally for its consistency—the familiar menu, Play Places, fries, or the iconic Golden Arches, most locations feel remarkably similar. Yet, just off International Drive in Orlando, Florida, near theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, lies an exception: the “Epic McD.” This expansive McDonald's spans 19,000 square feet and is filled with features that make it feel more like a miniature theme park than a quick dining stop.
Nicknamed the “Epic McD,” this two-story McDonald's offers a distinctive experience with eclectic decor, an arcade, an extensive Play Place, and an unexpected menu. It draws Orlando’s tourists and locals alike, bringing familiar McDonald's energy with a lively, amusement park-inspired atmosphere. Every corner is thoughtfully themed, from whimsical neon burger signs and retro lighting to a nostalgic Mac Tonight at a piano. The multi-level Play Place includes slides, climbing structures, a child-sized hamster wheel, and even a “Peep” the alligator feature, adding a playful nod to Florida.
Adjacent to the Play Place is an arcade with games like air hockey, skeeball, and claw machines. Visitors can collect tickets and redeem them for prizes. Open 24/7, this location is designed to give families a taste of the theme park atmosphere even outside the gates of Orlando’s big attractions.
The Epic McD’s Unique Menu: Pizzas, Pastas, Philly Cheese Steaks, and More at the World’s Largest McDonald's
The world’s largest McDonald's menu is as unique as its decor, offering far more than typical fare. While classic items like Big Macs remain, the Epic McD serves customizable pasta dishes and brick-oven pizzas, with options for different pasta types, sauces, and add-ins. Another rare find is the Philly Cheese Steak, complete with beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Dessert lovers are in for a treat with options like cheesecake and a towering Peanut Butter Explosion Cake. Notably, this McDonald's has a reliable McFlurry machine that is always ready to serve, and many hope to see upcoming CosMc menu items join the roster soon.
The Epic McD transforms a routine fast-food visit into a one-of-a-kind culinary and entertainment experience, making it a must-visit landmark for those passing through Orlando.
