Have you ever had one there for your kids?  Have you been to one?  What's it like?

I have done a couple there and have gone to them w/my kids.  I like them.  The kids love the food and get to play and there is no mess for me!   The one's I have had they have an employee help w/handing out food, cake, etc.  

Did this for several birthday parties! No fuss, no mess and no cleaning up afterwards! They even give you invitations to send out!

I had my 7th birthday party at a McDonalds. heheI think that's a great idea! No mess for you to clean up!!

MADHOUSE!!!!!!It's been a while, but we used to go to alot of parties at McDonalds...the decibel level in there is equal to the Monkey house at the zoo!

The last time I was to one, I was 5 yrs old.  I'm thinking about doing a Pizza Hut party. The kids each get to make their own personal pan pizza.

We've never had a McDonald's party invitation so far.But we have gone to Chuck-e-cheese & Shakey's pizza. I find those places too crowded which makes me nervous to just sit back & relax while the kids have a good time. The private places I think are better just because they are not as crowded & it's easier to keep an eye on the kids.

I attended one for my now-14yo niece's 4th birthday party.  My DS attended the 4th birthday party of one of his friends; that was 4  years ago (how time flies!).  The kids at both parties had a BLAST!!  Unfortunately, I'm not sure why, but the McD's employees don't seem to do nearly as much as they used to.  Back in the day, I was a S.T.A.R. - Store Activities Representative, and only STARS could give the parties, and they did ALL the work - there were even party games.  I noticed at both of those parties I attended that the employee at the party wasn't there the whole time; it seemed they were basically there to take the order, direct the kids to the play area at the designated time, and clean up.  Nonetheless, the kids had a ton of fun!

I wasn't a STAR when I worked at McD's unfortunately, but my friend Michelle was.  Parties were a blast at our store.   But of course, that was 20 years ago, hehe!  It was great, she basically came to work to play with the kids all day. I couldn't tell you recently, though.  I'm a McD's nut, though, I have ornaments and everything. 

We did one of dd's parties there.  It was a lot of fun.  When I was a kid I had, and went to several, parties at Burger King.  Equally as fun.

never have but it sounds like a great idea from what I am reading here.
