McDonald’s Disney Happy Meal Toys Recall?
Did McDonald’s just recall their Walt Disney World Happy Meals?
UPDATED BELOW: So, one of the small things we can do to give the kids a “leave the house” feel, without actually going anywhere is to pick up Happy Meals at the local McDs.
And, like any hungry dad, I don’t mind having a couple of fries on the way back to the house. Moreover, and like any suspended adolescent, I always check out the Happy Meal toys I’m bringing to the fam.
Now, on most days, two Marvel figurines (Gladiator Hulk, Black Widow) would make me a hero. But not today, my friends, not today.
The boys were expecting new Mickey and pals toys, featuring rides from Walt Disney World.
You know, the ones we featured last week.

Nope.
Those are being recalled.
At least that’s what a post on Instagram claimed. And I am one of the folks ready to unofficially confirm.

Now, I have read elsewhere that there’s a chance the toys will be recalled and re-released. But as a betting man, I am feeling pretty good about my little collection of “rare” keepsakes.

Oh well, it looks like we’re going back to PB&J when it’s Dad’s turn to make lunch.
However, the original story by Disney Parks Blog explained:

The magic of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway has rolled into McDonald’s! Just in time for their birthday celebration, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse have inspired a brand-new line of Happy Meal® toys at McDonald’s, bringing Mouse Rules to the iconic Golden Arches. This means there’s only one rule you need to remember: Anything can happen!
They were not kidding!
BUT WE HAVE AN UPDATE!
A trusted tweeter has let us know there remains some hope:
McDonald’s is still offering Disney toys but without Giveaway tickets or themed Happy Meal boxes. You can also ask for cute Mickey or Minnie headbands too! @MickeyBlog_ pic.twitter.com/U1bgtRw5uj
