Didn't Wonders of Life lose their primary sponsor? Many, many attractions and pavilions exist because of those sponsors, and if you take them away....

Yes it did, and one would hope that it could just as easily get another one. That is one thing that has always surprised me (and maybe I'm completely wrong about this, maybe Disney tries real hard but gets no takers) but I'm surprised Disney hasn't put more effort into finding new sponsors when one drops out. Major corporations spend Billions on advertising every year- that's part of why these pavilions had sponsors in the first place.
You mean to tell me that Proctor & Gamble (4.9B) wouldn't LOVE a presence at WDW, with all those families with young kids visiting every year? Or Johnson & Johnson? (1.9B) Or Unilever? (1.3B)
Geico? (1.4B) Verizon? (2.52B) Obviously Comcast is out, but wouldn't that mean that Time Warner (2.0B) would want in? I'm just very surprised.

Time Warner owns most, if not all, of the stock for the 6 Flags corporation, if I'm not mistaken, so I wouldn't think they'd be too keen on sponsoring anything in a Disney park. There is some WB memorabilia in DHS, but that's about the extent of it.
Edit: No, they sold off most of that, but they still do a lot of licensing with 6 Flags.

I actually searched for them on eBay and they go for a good bit now. The broccoli guy was at $100+.

Because Millennium Showplace is where they host the big buck dining & tasting events. Sacrifice space where they can charge $140 per head to replace it with seating for $14 a head tastings? Not gonna happen.

Gah! Why did I lose all that eighties merch over the years! We had so much, and most of it simply vanished over the years!

I got to go on Cranium Command once in my time, being a youngin' here. It was one of my favorites when I was little, we went back a few years later to find the whole place closed. So disappointing.
