Nestle name still all over the Land pavilion

[wdwmagic]

Just to update the info that someone posted a few days ago in http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=310838 with regard to Nestle being removed from the Land.

As of 8pm on the 25th May 2008, Nestle were still on all the usual signs throughout the pavilion, inlcluding the main sign at the entry, the signs on the entry ramp, the logo under the Circle of Life sign, the logo under the Seasons sign, and in the mural on the wall near the escalator. The only Nestle logo that seems to have been removed is the Jr Chef. In fact this area has now been walled off, to a point where you would never know it was even there.

At this point at least, there seems no sign that Nestle are being removed.

On the current park maps though, Nestle's name doesn't appear on it.

Thanks for the info

Any idea how long the map has been that way?

It is missing from this map http://www.wdwmagic.com/thumbnails/resorts/maps/epcot_park_map.jpg, which was from around early March 2008. I have some older maps where the Presented by Nestle text is there.

I noticed this last week. I figured Disney hadn't got around to taken the signs down yet.

Are there any plans to get a new sponsor?

Nestle are still all over the attraction. They are not on the map, but is that an issue with the maps, or a sign that they are being removed completely?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

That's what I thought...Perhaps they are leaving gradually?

A quick Google News search reveals this story, dated today, from the Sentinel.

In summary: Jr. Chef being removed, but rest of sponsorship retained.

(Though of course, information from spokespeople is not always necessarily as it seems.)

OK...Makes sense,Nim.

Thanks!

Thanks!

So removing a sign isn't the next coming of the apocalypse? Did anyone really expect Kraft to come back and replace Soarin with Food Rocks?! QFT!

Yes. That's exactly what I expected.

Oh trust me when a sponser moves out they do everything they can to pull down or cover all the signs as soon as possible! Also this is a prime example of one person starting the "End of the World" rumor, Jr. Chef was closed both here in DL and in WDW close to the same time. They wanted to move away from the cookies and more toward the good for you foods.

I do not expect Kraft to come back and replace Soarin with Food Rocks.

I expect it to be replaced with Kitchen Kaberet
