They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

I feel like McDonald’s catering to adults instead of children is absolutely a good thing.

It was something special - lucky to have it like twice a year…. These days loads of kids are getting it every week! Removing the fun doesn’t seem to have worked!
