DID YOU KNOW THAT CURRENT DISNEY IS TALKING ABOUT PUTTING A MCDONALD'S in the original Disneyland Park?
We're NOT talking about California Adventure (That already has a McDonald's) next to Disneyland, Animal Kingdom (Which also has one), Epcot, or Disney MGM Studios. What we are doing is protesting against a restaurant serving COMPLETE McDonald's meals inside of Walt Disney's timeless and unique masterpiece, which is the Magic Kingdom.
Please help us to fight this. Join the official campaign (Which contains a petition that you can sign):

"I've spent nearly as much time trying to understand the strange appeal of summer camp as the appeal of a talking mouse who favors red shorts. Quite frankly, I'm still stumped about the mouse"
--Michael Eisner in March of 2001, speaking on "What I Did During Summer Vacation" at an issues retreat
"It is not our obligation to make art. It is not our obligation to make history. To make money is our only objective"
--Michael Eisner
Walt Disney did invite a McDonald's in to his park when it first opened in 1955. However ... If this restaurant is put in Disneyland today, it will not be a realization by current management of his original intentions. But rather yet another pain staking reminder of how Eisner has taken Walt Disney's family name and cut it down to the level of "Anything for a buck."
Note: Disney doesn't pay for parks in other countries. They have a deal with a corporation called "Oriental Land Company." OLC invites Imagineers to design the parks, then OLC sends a check to Disney each month. That's why Tokyo DisneySea cost $2-3 billion to build (OLC is willing to give the Imagineers that much to work with) while California Adventure was constructed at only $7-8 million.
Eisner and Pressler have already established reputations: Ones that don't rely on any of the basic principles Disney was founded under
