Next door to the local McDonald's in Taupo, New Zealand, an abandoned decommissioned DC3 aircraft sat for 24 years, so restaurant owner Eileen Byrne decided to repurpose the plane as a seating area for her customers. Built in 1943, the aircraft is a perfect place to tuck into a Georgie Pie, filled with savory minced steak and cheese. Dessert also seems to be a New Zealand specialty at Mickey D's: order up a Cadbury Créme Egg McFlurry, donut balls, and other surprises.

The ubiquitous golden arches of McDonald's are easily recognized across the globe. While there is commonality among all, many places have localized the chain, adding different cultural options to the menu. Check out the 5 most unique locations where you can eat at Mickey D's but still dine like a local!
