Space Mountain was sponsored by FedEx at some point in the 90s/00s
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.
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 think the PeopleMover is still sponsored by Alamo.
In MK, Carousel of Progress was sponsored by GE from 1975-1985 (has GE mentioned with it on a set of Disney music CDs that I bought a while back)
It was actually created for GE for the 1964 World's Fair in NY.
I do think of it mostly with Epcot - but the poster is correct in pointing out a long history of sponsors:

Delta's If You Had Wings, on the current Buzz track, was an excellent choice if you were out of E and D ticket coupons.
Living with the Land had Nestle? Maybe? Or maybe Food Rocks had Nestle?
Is the People Mover currently sponsored?
I would love to see what other sponsorships you guys can remember.
that's funny. i remember now seeing the Hanes signs on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster. It makes me wonder about the connection every time i see it.
