Yes, Kodak may be leaving, but it's still a RUMOR for now.
It LOOKED LIKE it was finally confirmed, but i was wrong.

While I definitely agree that Kodak is probably on their way out, I don't think that cast member rumors and a sponsorless sign are "official confirmation"...
good riddance! now make IMAGINATION great again!
Yes, Kodak is leaving. But this is not a rumor anymore!
It has finally been confirmed.
Look here: KODAK LEAVING EPCOT, not a rumor anymore.
And here's the picture featured in the article:

So, what can we expect??
Is the Imagination Pavilion going to end up like Wonders of Life, or there's already a new sponsor?
Um... you do realize that sign didn't say "Presented by Kodak". It said "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" underneath like the one for The Land lists Soarin'. So in reality, this confirms that Disney is trying to include Captain EO in all it's signage, but nothing else.
Kinda a fail thread...

Kodak IS leaving! I'm surprised that you don't see that...
Maybe yes, it said HISTA in the bottom, but KODAK is definitely leaving.

And thank you for supporting new threads :shrug:.
I thought I made a good guess saying there was the Kodak sign on it...
So what confirmation do you have other than a comment from a CM and a blog post that you wrote and linked to? :shrug: Glad to see you updated your misinformation about the sign. I just don't see how this proves anything.
I've been over to that pavilion a lot lately (seen Captain EO 8 times so far since it re-opened) and there is no indication that Kodak is leaving at this point. Disney and Kodak have had a long relationship over the years and it seems unlikely that they are just going to pack up and leave the pavilion they've sponsored since 82. All the signage involving Kodak is still up. The only thing that's interesting is the one exhibit in Imageworks that apparently closed down. That might just be because it wasn't a great idea to put there, or because Kodak didn't want to waste the money paying someone to run it. No matter what the reason, it's not enough of an indication to prove that Kodak is leaving. Once I see the "Presented by Kodak" signage removed, then I will believe. Until then, chalk it up as a rumor and nothing more.
*curtains*
They may be leaving, they may not be, but either way, your article using that photo confirms nothing, as the sign in question never actually mentioned Kodak. All the signs that do mention Kodak still mention Kodak. Also, in the vast majority of cases, the frontline Cast Members have no information as to what is going on at the corporate level, which is where the sponsorship decision would be made,
Yes, I updated it, because you were right about the sign, thanks.
But I can't understand why you don't believe it.
The two cast member seemed very credible. I am aware that CM's are not always 100% reliable, but those seemed so sure!!
And about the KODAK ads, they have a whole month to get rid of them...

HOWEVER, the Captain EO pre-show doesn't feature any Kodak advert.
(whereas Disneyland's does)
