What is McDonaldland?
McDonaldland is an imaginative, colorful universe created by McDonald’s as part of its advertising campaigns. This whimsical world is home to Ronald McDonald and a playful cast of characters who live among apple pie trees and hamburger hills.
The journey began in 1971, when McDonald’s introduced this magical setting to connect with audiences in a unique way. For over two decades, McDonaldland appeared across a variety of media — from commercials and toys to short films and video games — winning the hearts of both kids and adults.
Now, this nostalgic world is coming back to life, inviting a new generation to explore it for the first time — and longtime fans to relive it — through a special experience centered around what connects them all: the food.

History of McDonald’s
In 1954, Ray Kroc had the opportunity to visit a small restaurant in San Bernardino, California, owned by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald. Although the place was simple, Kroc was amazed by the remarkable efficiency with which it operated. The McDonald brothers had designed a streamlined menu that only included burgers, fries, and drinks, which allowed them to maintain high standards of quality and offer fast service.
When Kroc learned that the brothers were looking for a new franchisee, he saw a great business opportunity. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc., which would later become McDonald’s Corporation. Six years later, he acquired the exclusive rights to the McDonald’s name and operating system.
In 1958, the chain celebrated a major milestone: the sale of 100 million hamburgers. Today, McDonald’s is one of the most recognized fast food brands globally, with over 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries around the world.
