THE STORY BEHIND THIS MCDONALD'S
This isn't the original building — it's actually the third McDonald's built at this same spot near Disney's All-Star Resorts. The previous restaurant closed in 2019 and was completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Designed by Ross Barney Architects — the same firm behind McDonald's LEED Platinum flagship in Chicago — the new roughly 8,000-square-foot restaurant was built to generate enough renewable energy on-site to cover 100% of its own energy use over a year, making it one of the first "net zero" restaurants in the world. It runs on rooftop solar panels plus building-integrated photovoltaic glass and off-grid parking lot lighting, and uses automated windows that let it skip air conditioning for about 65% of the year. Interactive touches — like stationary bikes guests can pedal to light up the Golden Arches — teach visitors about renewable energy while they wait on their order.

It's easy to drive right past without realizing how unusual it really is — most guests have no idea it's here.
