These amazing attractions are corporate sponsorships in name only. Exactly what Irish Bruh doesn’t like.And the sponsors at Tokyo Disneyland are kind of random. And nearly every E Ticket, and some smaller rides, has a sponsor in both Tokyo parks. It's also not uncommon for shows and restaurants to also have corporate sponsors in Tokyo. Sponsors are just everywhere in Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, like it's 1966.

Who or what is going to force them? Pixar Pier didn’t have a sponsor outside of a Disney owned brand. Did that force them to do a better job? No it didn’t.
Knowing the history of DCA, it always goes cheap between going expensive to fix their errors. This change is not significant, but it definitely gives Disney marketing advantage. It gives their customers more of what they want than before like Boudin Bakery Factory Tour.

I wish they’ll at least consider retheming Buzz & Star Tours to Ant-Man & The Wasp: Nano Battle & Iron Man Experience it couldn’t hurt to spread marvel into both parks plus it’ll be quick to build & pull people away from Galaxy’s Edge

I'm kind of hoping there will be no trace of Marvel. I want all new original rides that will blow our minds.

Star Wars in Disneyland is painful enough. No Marvel, please.

If the Boudin tour is your high watermark of DCA experiences that explains a lot...
I don’t even know what you mean by that. It is a low point, but it’s a corporate sponsorship that you advocate.

Especially after I spend all that dough to get into the park. It really soured the experience for me.

You've completely missed the point, yet again. That is not the type of corporate sponsorship that I'm advocating first of all. Second of all, Boudin is not even the type of attraction that I'm speaking of.
Again the pinnacle of corporate sponsored attractions, in my opinion (I'm sure others have their opinion), is ATIS and CoP. Those are the type of sponsorship attractions that I'm advocating for in any TL redo. For example SpaceX just had another successful launch today. What if they sponsored an updated space exploration attraction. A next generation Mission to Mars attraction but instead of Mars exploration it could be to exploring areas beyond the Kuiper belt.
Anyways at this point this discussion with you is going no where. So thank you, but we'll just have to agree to disagree and end it here.

Of course you think this discussion is going no where because you can’t acknowledge reality. Why would SpaceX waste valuable funds in a Disney attraction for advertising when there is absolutely no need to advertise their services this way? Disney is rolling in dough regardless and it’s time to let Disney fully fund their own attractions without compromising to satisfy a corporate message from the sponsorship.
“With a $0 Ad Budget, Tesla Just Pulled Off One of the Greatest Marketing Stunts Ever. Hitching a ride with SpaceX, it becomes the first car in orbit”
SpaceX spent $500 million to launch a new rocket. It’s rather ridiculous to think that any of this money will go to a mere Disney attraction.
So keep saying this elusive corporate sponsorship exists when even the Norway government abandoned their own pavilion and the private company soldout at a loss. Here’s the story.
“NorShow sold back its interest in the pavilion to Disney in 1992 for $26 million, a loss of more than $8 million on its initial investment of close to $34 million. The Norwegian government continued to support the pavilion for a five-year term from 1992-1997 with a contribution of $200,000 a year because they felt it was a good promotional tool.
They renewed again for an additional five-year term, but finally decided in 2002 to drop all financial support against the strong recommendations of their American embassy, feeling they were not receiving the same tourism benefits from having the pavilion at Walt Disney World.
Disney did make repeated attempts, even offering the opportunity to have Norway update the pavilion for a mere $9 million and contacting groups like American Norwegian Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise for continued support from Norway, but to no avail.”
That’s why Frozen went into Maelstrom.

Acknowledge what reality? This is my opinion on what I'd like to see for a TL redo in order for what I believe is the way to bring it back to its prime. Do I think it'll actually happen, maybe or maybe not. But that is not the point.
As for your statement on why would SpaceX spent "precious resources". Elon Musk, and his two companies SpaceX and Tesla, would be the type of person who would be willing to provide his insight and expertise into TL for nothing more than to provide edutainment to the next generation. He is well known for given his insight and ideas out to the world for nothing in return, especially when it comes to futurism.
Anyways we've come to the end of this. You obviously see no benefit to any idea of a corporate sponsorship to build an edutainment attraction. So no need to further respond to this because its now beyond pointless talking to you as you can't accept I may have a different opinion than you.

Putting him in charge of TL would be a good way to make the price tag on SWL look low. No thanks.
