I want to go! I heard on Radio Disney about the contest. I wish that there was a non-Radio Disney way to enter, since I'm too old.

This is ironic to me, since a couple days ago, a couple family members got sick after eating here, but my love of McDonald's is sad, although this one doesn't have a Dollar Menu, so I didn't eat there as often as I would have had it had one, but...

McDonald’s at Downtown Disney is closing
http://thedailydisney.com/blog/2010/02/ ... s-closing/
(via laughingplace.com)

McDonald’s said all of its employees at the Downtown Disney were offered transfers to other McDonald’s locations and that no one would lose their job as a result of the closure.

I think that that's great, but do enough McDonald's restaurants have enough spaces for X number of employees to be put on the schedule without seriously diminishing hours for other employees? I hope so.

The article mentions the Main Street Electrical Parade, Tower of Terror, "Summer Nightastic!", new fireworks, Sounds Like Summer concert series at Epcot, and extended Evening hours at Animal Kingdom:

An observation about the above announcements:

http://thedisneyblog.com/2010/02/10/wal ... ightastic/

Some things not mentioned tonight surprised me: Star Wars Weekends, Star Tours 2.0, anything new for EPCOT, and finishing Pop Century. Oh yeah, and Captain EO. Does that mean we don’t get the show here? Seriously. EPCOT needs a new country pavilion and they gotta do something with Future World.
