Disneyland Paris Resort announces the 2026 return of McDonald's, reigniting a decades-old partnership. The move stirs excitement and nostalgia amid fans, sparking hopes for U.S. park reintroductions.
This eagerly anticipated restaurant will offer a fresh take on McDonald's iconic look, focusing on sustainability and eco-friendly practices. Inspired by its Walt Disney World counterpart, the new location exemplifies the "going green" initiative.
The partnership between McDonald's and Disney has been long-standing, dating back several decades. Although McDonald's once had a presence in the Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts, the establishments have been without the renowned "golden arches" for some time.
The decision to reintroduce McDonald's to a Disney park has garnered excitement and nostalgia from fans. However, the news has left American patrons longing for a McDonald's within their theme parks. While no official plans have been announced, the possibility remains open for future collaborations.
The rich history between Walt Disney and McDonald's founder Ray Kroc adds an intriguing dimension to this story. Their intertwined lives and shared vision have shaped both companies in remarkable ways.
Once upon a time, Disney World in Orlando, Florida, boasted multiple McDonald's locations. Whether inside the parks or near Magic Kingdom or EPCOT, guests could satisfy their cravings for McDonald's classics. Contractual agreements concluded, removing the familiar fast-food option from Disney parks.
The two companies frequently collaborate despite the absence of McDonald's in Disney parks. From Disney film-themed toys in Happy Meals to joint promotional efforts, McDonald's and Disney continue to entice audiences with their enduring partnership. Most recently, McDonald's was pivotal in promoting the highly anticipated second season of Loki on Disney+.
As guests eagerly anticipate the opening of the new McDonald's in Disneyland Paris Resort, it remains to be seen if similar ventures will happen across American Disney parks. Regardless, the bond between these two corporate powerhouses remains unyielding, ensuring a prosperous future for both.
