The World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's, also known as Epic McD, and formerly known as Mickey D's,[1] is a McDonald's restaurant which opened in 1976 in Orlando, Florida. The restaurant has a floor area of 19000 sqft, making it the second largest McDonald's in the world by square footage behind McDonald’s Disneyland Paris. It offers menus with options that are exclusive to the restaurant and cannot be found elsewhere.
Menu
In addition to the standard McDonald's menu, the World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's offers over 50 additional items, including brick oven pizza, Belgian waffles, customized pasta dishes, omelettes, and additional items on the "Gourmet Bistro" menu, along with an expanded dessert menu like ice cream.[2]
Restaurant
The World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's has three stories and offers a 22-foot-tall (6.7 Meter) PlayPlace since 1996, a Mac Tonight animatronic show, over 100 arcade games, and a waving 30 ft-tall image of Ronald McDonald at the entrance. While the Orlando branch is the largest in the world by area, a McDonald's branch located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is believed to be taller in height.[3] The original building was closed in 2015, then demolished, and rebuilt, reopening in 2016.[4][5][6] The restaurant is open 24 hours and features a "Create Your Own" menu.[7]
