Well, yeah, that is semi-true. It sounds to me like Disney isn't cutting ties 100% but more like cutting back on reaching out to children THROUGH McDonald's; meaning no more Disney "Happy Meal" toys, etc. Although, still trying to maintain the relationship to reach adults. I am not sure that it is confirmed anywhere that the McDonald's outposts in WDW itself will be closing, I haven't read that anywhere.
I found this article which was pretty interesting...
