McDonalds Parties

ok, have had one of these in the square mcd's for paris's 2nd birthday.

How much was it per child?
$10 per head for normal, $12 for disney themed.

What did you get for the charge?
party food, loot bags, hats, 1 game (i think it was pass the parcel, with something for each kid plus a pressie for the birthday kid

How long was the party? argh, angry over this - we booked the BIG room, specifically saw them write it in the book our numbers etc, when we booked in i think it was May, before i had Ayja, there were no other bookings that day at that point.. got there early, on her birthday and they tried to shovel all 30 of us into the littlest room there.. trying to tell us we had booked that (why would we book a ridiculously small room for that many of us?!). Mike did his usual and went a bit nuts.. in his demandingly polite way.. so we got into the big room, provided we start the party half an hour early (great except our guests weren't all there yet) but were rushed through and asked to leave after an hour and a half because the other people that had "booked" the big room were due to come. ARGH, so angry so fricken angry - we had to rush cutting the cake then all ushered out into the kids area, which being a saturday around lunch time - was noisy and full of big kids.

Did they kick you out of the party room after the official party time had ended? YES.. before

What activities did they have for the children? as above

Did they do anything for the adults that were there? nope,

Anything else you would like to add?
Have since booked the party room for ayja's 2nd to continue tradition (that and i can't mentally handle doing home parties 2 yrs in a row) - they have now changed it.. you can only have it at 2pm or 4pm, on saturday. is $12 a head for plain mcdonald theme - no longer do disney.

we'll see how it goes. won't take crap this time, last time i just was past it cos i had an 8 week old baby to contend with.

Emma had a McDonald's party for Maya's birthday last year, I think -- hopefully she will jump in here and tell you about it. She reckoned it was the best venue ever, especially because she didn't have to clean up!

yep, so agree with that.. the kids parties at home cost a bomb.. but i go a bit overboard with food.. and decorations. lol

oh thanks a lot u guys now you have ME thinking of what to do for little miss spoilts first birthday already....(see i really should be working not sitting home!!! LOL!!!!)

he he, 2 yr olds are crazy. but 3 yr olds are worse. Paris's party i felt like i had no control over what was going on.. invited her whole clique of girls she 'hangs out' with.. argh, 3 yr olds are crazy!

i have attended mcd's and chipmunks and lollipops parties - havent held any tho ... my boys have either had no party (toby for his 1st birthday) or low key cake and chippy things with the cousins.

i liked the lollipops one i went to last year for a boys 4th birthday but the party room was very small. they did cater for the grown ups too tho (prob at an extra charge but my friend said it wasnt that much).

mcdonalds at least the food is hot and you get a choice of drink...i wasnt too keen on the chipmunks drinks (sorry emma ) and i think the food was microwaved.
so if mcd's has a decent playground it would prob be good.
