I know, I know! But we are traveling with 2 kids, and know they would want to try it. Is it just like the food at McDonalds in the states? What are the prices like? Do they have happy meals there?

Haven't been to Mc Donalds but ate at Wendys a few times. Burgers and fries tasted the same to me.

I would have to assume that it is the same. We didn't go there, only because I figure it is exactly the same.

prices about 10% higher at mickey d's than here in the states.
prices are listed in Aruba florins, not US dollars.
taste is the same.
last aruba trip, we were on our way home from snorkeling at arashi and had a mcdonald french fry craving.
the arubans love mcdonalds and wendys.
when we went in to get our fries and cokes, we were the only non arubans in the place.

Thanks - how far is the wendy's from Hyatt?

There is a Burger King in Arawak Gardens which is within walking distance (across the street) from the Hyatt. There is my favorite pizza place which is very popular with kids (has other Italian dishes) called Casa Tua, Fishes and More as well as Tango and Salt and Pepper. There is alot of stuff kids would like in walking distance.

The closest Wendys is approx. 1/4 mile or less. Turn inland at the Radisson onto Palm Beach Rd. (Hard Rock Cafe & Gianni's on the corner). At the traffic light is Mc Donalds. On the other side of the road is Wendy's.

Go to McD Mon to Thur they have meal deals, they have a different meal deal everyday for only 7.50florin = about 4.30us dollar. I go from time to time, they have a curry chicken sandwich, havent had it yet.

Also if you want a good burger check out Hard Rock Cafe on Mondays, they have buy one get one burgers, great deal.
