Did anyone else have a birthday party at McDonald's? How was it?

I used to love going to parties at a McDonald's because of the kids meal and the awesome play area they used to have!

 

[Empire]

nope, never had one. never like mcdonalds

Yes, we used to have an ace McDonald’s in our town for children’s parties. Sat in the upstairs play area, it was grubby and dingy but full of personality and way more exciting than the bland, conveyor belt system they have now. Those iPad tables they have for the children are horrendous … mine never use them and much prefer colouring in!

My mom threw several parties for me when I was little. My last one at McDonald's was when I was 8. Because only 3 people showed up that I invited. After that, I just celebrated with my mom at home.

I’m sorry that happened, @Terminated - That must of been really hurtful especially at such a young age.

I had a McDonald’s party maybe for my 7th birthday? I vividly remember a game where kids had to stack empty Mcnugget boxes and whoever got highest in some time won.

I've never had one either.
In front of my current house, I do have a buguer (not Mcdonalds, it's a local one) and I celebrated mine and my friend's birthdays there.

What's the conveyor belt system? Never seen one at a McDonalds I've been at ?

I did not even know they had birthday parties at Mcdonalds.
I would have had one if I known as a kid because I loved Mcdonalds.I ate way too much of that junk and fast food. However no Mcdonalds around have a play area.
I stopped eating Mcdonalds when I was fifteen.

What's the conveyor belt system?

Burgers and fries are delivered to the ground level via a conveyor belt from a glowing yellow glass box dubbed a 'kitchen in the sky'.

Kids parties at Mcdonalds were amazing! We even had a Mcdonalds with an indoor play area which had a ball pit and other stuff, it was awesome!!

Fun topic related article.

From the article: Take another look through the franchise’s history by seeing what the McDonald’s menu looked like the year you were born.

 

[Elseb]

That's an awesome article @Kylie, thanks for sharing! Will pass it on.

 

[Kylie]

@Elseb: You're welcome and glad you liked the article.

I've heard of the McRib a few times but I don't think we had it in the UK (unless I completely missed it). I really want to try it one day

 

[Kylie]

@Ash: Is the McRib back in 2022?

It's worth reminding you the McRib will only be around for a limited time, but based on these yearly trends we can cross our fingers it will be back again in 2022. For now, just be sure to get in as many McDonald's runs after November 1 as possible to satisfy your McRib craving before it leaves menus once again.

 

[Ash]

I have no idea, to be honest. Just something I always see being mentioned online but I've never ever seen it. I have no idea if it's a rib either lmao
