Find out what GNers think of the new McDonald’s Happy Meal menu options

McDonald's happy meal is the best way to engage kids. I love McDonald’s chicken nuggets, veggie dippers, hamburger, cheeseburger. also, McDonald's Monopoly was a great time of the year, it lasts 41 days and let the fast-food fans collect the iconic Monopoly properties and which lead them to win amazing million-dollar Monopoly prize, gift cards, and McDonald’s giveaways. but I never got to win anything in McDonald's but I took the McDonalds survey and answer a few questions related to McDonald’s customer satisfaction and won free burgers. www.mcdvoice.to/

I'm loving it

Family Fun event was great. Enjoyed by 3 generations.
McDonalds choice if food is streets ahead of Burger King
Always choose McDonalds if we have to go for fast food

like the fish fingers

sadly never attended the event, but will say, McDonalds is the only fast food we allow ourselves on occasion, kids love the nuggets and shakes, and my husband loves the chicken

We usually eat at McDonalds on shopping trips. They are one of the few fast food chains who claim they don't use halal meat so I boycott the rest on cruelty grounds. The grandchildren love their Happy Meal toys and, if there's a play area, that's a plus too.

Wow! Fabulous. Thank you.

Fantastic prize, good luck folks!

Me and my grandchildren enjoy visiting McDonalds on special occasions such as birthdays or family outings.
It is great to see that McDonalds is continue to improve their menu and introduces more of healthy options.
When going out to McDonalds I often look to order something healthy and nutritious for them. I like fact, that we can find food for everyone's liking, from grown ups to younger ones. We all like wraps, so Grilled Chicken wrap would be our favourite too.
I am sure my grandchildren would love to attend this event....All loves colouring , face painting and fun.

My daughter Jo Davage ( first comments) has captured our thoughts. Thank you to all the team for making the day so pleasant.
Grace and Harriet, my granddaughters had a wonderful time and love playing the games.
The wraps are a good healthy idea and the children felt that it would have been good to customise them, as one of them likes plain, no nonsense food , whilst the other one is more adventurous. The wraps were the right size for younger children but I think they are too small for the older child. Louise explained that they are considering being able to offer larger portions as required. Which is a good idea.
Up until now, I hadn't thought of Mc Donalds as offering healthy options and it wouldn't have been my first choice when feeding the girls when out, but today has completely changed my mind. It was good to see that the staff were listening to our views and in some cases already had ideas to enhance this initiative.
Well done Mc Donalds you now have a convert and thanks for a great event. We all enjoyed it.

Just back from a great day in London, attending the McDonald's event in ludgate Hill. DD, gs 8 and gs 8 months.Right from the time we arrived to leaving, we were made to feel welcome. Daniel really enjoyed his happy meal, at 8 he can eat a lot so had a chicken wrap and a cheeseburger happy meal, cheesy balls, melon and crunchie mcflurry. Baby Jack was on his first visit to McDonald's and enjoyed chicken nuggets a couple of chips, bag of melon and some ice cream.
We had great fin with the various activities that were laid on, and Jack thought his 'tortoise balloon was fab!
To top it all my DD and Daniel were filmed and interviewed on the ordering process. Let's hope at sometime we can see the filming!
On the whole, McDonald's menu is good as a family treat. I know usually the fruit bags also include apples and grapes, unfortunately not there today, but Jack enjoyed the melon.
Daniel not a fussy water so had everything in his wrap.
The McDonald's happy meal toys are getting a bit boring...however the games went down a treat even Jack wore the masks!
As a treat we don't worry to much about calorie intake and found the whole experience pleasant

Back from London, having had a fun, if warm, day with DD(33), DS(17), DGS(7) and DG(2)

What did you and your grandchildren think of the new Grilled Chicken Wrap option on the Happy Meal menu?
The grandsons loved the new wrap and the 7 year old wolfed it down. He told me that "It is the best McDonald's meal that I have ever eaten and it's healthy too." The 17 year old chose to eat the adult version, so it is a popular menu item with all ages.

What did you think about being able to customise the Grilled Chicken Wrap? What options did you pick?
DGS1 is not a fussy eater and so was very pleased to be able to fill his wrap with all the salad choices. Personally I love extra pickles and onion and would give the ketchup a miss.

What did you think of the event? Have you been to a Family Fun event before?
We have never been to anything like this before although we are regulars at McDonalds. We had a great time with family games, colouring, balloon modelling, facepainting and McFlurries. All the time we were being filmed and the children were asked what they thought of the grilled chicken wraps.

What else would you like to see from McDonald’s for you and your family to better enjoy the restaurant experience
I agree with Jodavage that the family games were better received than the plastic toys.
More vegetarian and gluten free options would mean that more families would eat together at McDonalds.

What are your main considerations when eating out as a family?
When we eat out it is usually a treat, so calories and sugar content don't really come under scrutiny. It is more important that the food arrives quickly as a small hungry child will cause chaos.
McDonalds have changed for the better recently. You can order in advance on the mobile app. or take advantage of table service after ordering on the in-store terminal.
