Apple a future sponsor?

[Lee]

I know nothing of it, other than Apple is the first name that always comes up when Epcot sponsorships are discussed.
God knows they can afford it...

Microsoft!

I believe @Lee or @WDW1974 hinted at Apple being interested in doing something

Marni did as well which may have been the most recent hinting. I believe it's buried in the Test Track 2.0 thread.

Don't know anything about the truth of the rumor, but I don't like the idea of apple+ imagination. I would much rather they do something new and wonderful with technology, take over innoventions and get some new and exciting ideas in there.

Why? They seem much more creative and appealing to the general masses than Apple. Compare a commercial with a guys hands playing with a phone to this;

I believe that's what they call imagination...

As much as WDI loves to say when they create attractions, "And then everything goes horribly wrong!", all they have to do is make the new ride about the vehicles being equipped with Apple Maps and guests getting lost, requiring them to use their imaginations to overcome faulty software to find their way back to Future World!

Apple would be the perfect sponsor.

I also think that "Eve" from Wall-E would be great as a mascot since she was based on Apple products and designs.

What does Apple gain by sponsoring a pavilion at Future World? How does this help brand awareness? Help the image of Apple? What does Disney gain besides cash? Apple is secretive and likes being known for designing behind closed doors. Nothing against Apple (typing this on a MacBook Pro) but I just do not see the allure of an Apple sponsorship.

Crayola would be a nice sponsor.

This is a thought that gets me excited.

Apple is perfect Sponsor for Imagination! I hope this is true!

Crayola would be a nice sponsor.

Crayola's actually owned by Hallmark Cards. Here in Kansas City, they've got a free children's indoor creative playground called Kaleidoscope that's very popular. The space always reminded me of the old image works mixed with toon town. Hallmark/Crayola is clearly no stranger to promoting creativity & imagination among the GP. I'd love if they sponsored the Imagination pavilion.

EDIT: Here's a link to their website: http://www.hallmarkkaleidoscope.com/. From the page, "

Kaleidoscope nourishes the creative spirit. It is a place where children are invited to be creative, have fun, and feel good about their own special ideas."​

Or not. We have enough moviefication of Epcot already.

Crayola would be good fit for Imagination, I hadn't thought of that before but its a good idea. Maybe then we might get the Rainbow Tunnel back ...one good suggestion and I start getting ideas, I need to give myself a reality check.

Now it is rumored/hinted at that Apple may be signing a sponsorship with Disney. Speculation is that it would be for Imagination 4.0. I figured rather than dilute threads on other topics with this we could toss around the idea here. What are your thoughts, ideas and
I for one would be very interested in Apple taking on Imagination preferably with Tony Baxter at the helm. I can imagine a sleek design and likely a pretty sweet postshow that's shows off Apple technology and its uses. Now Apple tends to be pretty close to the vest for their future projects so I also don't see them showing concept art. So it begs me to wonder whether or not they'd be the right for for the pavilion. What do you all think?

let shoot for the sky. What would fit with TDO's recent performance and track record? Ladies and gentleman, I give you Myspace Imagination.......

Yippee. My first somewhat critical post not aimed at Pecos Bills. Feels good
feels real good

You mean a commercial where the device speaks for itself? Apple knows what it's doing.

Bring me my box of crayons!

Crayola> Apple. I don't want to see the 3D theater and the ride for Imagination to close down every month because they want to install a bigger screen.
