Sales of McDonald’s latest line of Disney Attraction Themed Happy Meals Toys are being halted due to an issue with QR code for the latest sweepstakes to Walt Disney World.
Here are the details on the sweepstakes:
15 amazing vacations available from McDonald’s—vacation good through Dec. 15, 2022. You could go on a fun-filled family getaway for 4 to Walt Disney World Resort to visit Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. A world of magic awaits, where anything is possible! Blackout dates apply. Visit Prize details.
You can find more details about the contest here.
Here is a look at the expired codes one of our writers received. Funny how the coupon expired on 8/31/20 at 11:59pm.
Information from an internal document at McDonald’s share more about the error:
“There is an issue with the QR codes that are packaged with the Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway toys. If the codes are scanned outside of our app (versus the McDonald’s app as directed), they may lead users to an error message, or in rare cases, unintended search results”.
The new toys with corrected game pieces will be arriving at McDonald’s very soon. Until then they are being told to use generic Happy Meals toys till the new ones come in.

No issues with manual input of the code within the McD’s app despite the past date printed on the ‘ticket.’
I’ve never encountered a problem with manually entering the codes although the date on the tickets were wrong. Online it shows it is valid and correct. The print is just mistyped on each ticket
We noticed the wrong date today when trying to figure out how to enter the code
I just entered the code manually. Cause as t states on the happy meal box the contest has been extended to Jan. 2021
The toys were to coincide with the opening of Runaway Railroad but then COVID happened and the toys were moved from a March release date to November.
Yes when I contacted McDonald’s about it they just replied the release date was held back!!
