McDonalds at Downtown Disney to Be Replaced.
Pollo Campero, an international Latin chicken quick-service restaurant chain, has partnered with franchisee Levy Campero to deliver a new restaurant concept in Downtown Disney® Marketplace at Walt Disney World® Resort. The restaurant will feature Pollo Campero’s signature Latin chicken, as well as a new restaurant concept featuring fresh, healthy food. “This is an exciting opportunity for Pollo Campero to introduce its famous chicken, along with our newest fresh restaurant concept of salads and wraps, to visitors from all over the world,” said Adam Cummis, president of Levy Campero. “We are thrilled to collaborate with one of the strongest brands in the world to showcase our Latin delicacies and look forward to a long working relationship.” Walt Disney World guests will be able to savor combinations of freshly prepared Campero Latin chicken, unique, flavorful side dishes such as yuca fries and sweet plantains, and Latin drinks including horchata and tamarindo. The menu also will include nutritious and delicious meals such as chef-prepared salads, sandwiches and wraps using simple recipes derived from only the freshest ingredients.

“We’re pleased to offer this new Latin-style restaurant to our guests at Downtown Disney,” said Keith Bradford, vice president of Downtown Disney. “Its diversity of offerings and well-balanced options are the perfect addition to our current blend of dining experiences.”
“For decades, Walt Disney World has introduced its guests to rich cultural experiences,” said Juan Jose Gutierrez, chief executive officer of Pollo Campero. “We will build on the park’s rich cultural heritage, helping visitors discover the unique tastes and togetherness of family-style Latin dining.” Pollo Campero’s food is freshly prepared each day. Fried and grilled chicken is marinated, sending the distinctive Campero flavor all the way to the bone. Fried chicken is hand-breaded in seasoned flour and slowly pressure-cooked without trans-fats, resulting in a flavorful and juicy meal. Grilled chicken features the taste of lime and orange juices, red bell peppers, and a special blend of Latin herbs and spices. The new fresh concept menu will feature fresh salads, sandwiches, fruits, and healthy snacks, as well as vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, low-sodium or organic offerings. This new family-oriented location at one of America’s beloved destinations – Walt Disney World – exemplifies Pollo Campero’s drive to become one of the top 50 quick-service restaurant brands in the United States. Pollo Campero has spent decades building a brand while retaining the values and service of a family-run business. By combining its efforts with Levy Campero, Pollo Campero has opened new doors including the expansion into Walt Disney World Resort. McDonalds is to close on April 30th 2010, with Pollo Campero opening in late 2010.

I think it is a shame, personally. I am not a huge fan of McDonalds, but it fits the bill sometimes whilst at DTD. We had our Christmas Day breakfast there last year, sitting eating Egg McMuffins, steaming coffee and Pancakes, eagerly awaiting the day...
I guess times move on... hope the new resturant still offers DVC discount...

Seems strange to me, we all like McDonalds. It's the place we all know, it's also very cheap and a place where a lot of kids like to go.
The new place sounds interesting as well, but can't Disney find somewhere else to site it?

it could have something to do with the fact that McDonalds dont sponsor Disney anymore - hence the changes in Animal Kingdom... still; seems a bit silly to get rid of somewhere so popular though...

I think it is a brilliant development. I never felt that McDonalds was worth a visit anywhere in the US, we have them here, surely the point of travel is to try something different (and yes I do have children and no we never visit McD's in the US or the UK for that matter).
Love the sound of some of the dishes.
