McDonald's restaurants over the years have gone through many renovations; currently they have a high-class restaurant feel. However, I remember when I was a little girl, and the McDonald's in my hometown was the best! I say the best because it was unique, different than others. People would actually drive out of their town to come to "my" McDonalds.
Do you remember when McDonald's had pizza Happy Meals? Yes, individual pizzas! And they had McDonalds cookies (similar to arrowroot but in McDonald shapes) that came with your Happy Meal.
So those were highlights of McDonalds, but the best part, the Play Place. Yah, there are still Play Places at McDonalds, but not like mine used to be. There was a Party Caboose where we would have birthday parties (with Happy Meal of choice; pizza). That was located on one side of the Play Place. And when we finished eating, we would go play. The house was built in the wall. Kids would pee in there all the time. But that was the best! I remember a small location you could climb up to in the wall and fit 4-5 kids! And then you would come out at the top of the wall, and you could slide down. And there was a Ball Pit! What a time to be a kid!
Now all McDonalds look and feel the same. I suppose there are legal reasons as to why the Play Places have changed, but the fun and child-centered environment has come to be unimportant. They now seem to focus on McCafe. I suppose a technique to attract the Tim Horton's goers.
But when does change become too much?
