Kodak was still the sponsor when they did the first disastrous remake.Kodak used to sponsor Imagination. When they pulled out, there went the dreamfinder and the wonderful ride.

Early concepts for Space Mountain had it planned as a ride through the inside of a computer in order to pitch it to a computer company for a sponsorship (don't remember who it was supposed to be off the top of my head; I believe I read that story in The Disney Mountains: Imagineering at its Peak).
The other one I can recall is that I would swear that Dinosaur was originally sponsored by McDonalds, back when it was still Countdown to Extinction. I remember seeing little golden arches on the walls of the hall leading out of the preshow theaters. That was ages ago, though, so it's possible I'm imagining things.

I know this has nothing to do with Disney sponsors, but I saw you're going on a Disney cruise next week. We will be on the Fantasy on the 20th. What ship are you cruising on?

With all due respect, I think it was for other reasons.but as a result the park became a bit depreciated without companies checking up on maintenance.
I haven't noticed that.notice how some of future world's recently sponsored rides, such as spaceship earth, mission space, and test track, are among the most well-maintained
Yes, and I think they used to sell McDonald's fries from one of the of the kiosks in Dinoland. There are red, yellow, and white pipes in the loading area that I think still have the chemical formulas for ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise as part of the sponsorship.
Not just China. A similar contractor runs the restaurants in Mexico. They also operate the restaurants at Coronado Springs Resort and the bar at Frontera Cocina (Disney Springs).
