Wow, so now we know who calls the shots for P&R.No, he's a puppet, see the lady with her hand up his back?

All those spinning tires on the Peoplemover were provided by Goodyear, the attraction's sponsor. Monsanto's House of The Future was largely designed around building materials produced by the company. The content of the pre and post shows of America the Beautiful, sponsored by AT&T, showcased the company's services and products. Other tie-ins like TWA's Rocket to The Moon, The Coca Cola Tomorrowland Terrace, The Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad, Carnation Plaza Gardens, and The Aunt Jemima Pancake House conveniently had their brands integrated their into the name of the attraction or venue.![]()
Could it be we’re looking at the very first image from Toy Story 4? Will Chapek puppets line the walls of the Lasseter I mean Lamplight Lounge?No, he's a puppet, see the lady with her hand up his back?

That’s more apples to apples comparison. The product is right next the branded names. There’s no mistake. So are we now saying a branded experience would be The Twilight Zone with Rod Sterling, TZ logos, and easily recognized graphic art. How fun except Disney is not getting paid for it thus thus the conversion to Guardians.You’re right, but personally I tend to view those more as product placement than branded experiences. Although maybe I’m just biased because I love Aunt Jemima (best maple syrup, don’t @ me).
No, because TZ works as a theme, Pixar (still) doesn’t (and never will).That’s more apples to apples comparison. The product is right next the branded names. There’s no mistake.

In my opinion they’re still way different. Other than arguably Carousel of Progress I can’t really think of any examples where the content of an attraction was dictated by a sponsor. SSE was never “Siemens Adventure” (hold your jokes everyone). In fact, aside from the ride marquee and a couple other small details, one never really stopped to think about Siemens when riding. On the other hand there’s no avoiding PIXAR when you go to PIXAR PIER. Sponsors were used to mitigate the cost of building/updating/maintaining an attraction, not to bash you over the head with an IP.
TZ is a brand and the theme was totally invented by Disney as a tower ride. Please cite the episode it’s based on. None. They are making their effort with Pixar Pier, but again, it’s just a seaside carnival so Disney isn’t working with much and the bones don’t allow much improvement.No, because TZ works as a theme, Pixar (still) doesn’t (and never will).
I said Twilight Zone is the brand name. The theme was invented by Disney. Replied to “TZ works as a theme”The theme isn't "The Twilight Zone," the theme is a haunted Hollywood hotel.
We'll see how the Incredicoaster's ratings fare.
In the tomorrowland examples though, I value the fact that these sponsorships enabled an expansion of content toward edutainment and scientific realism. In the absence of corporate sponsorships, everything is IP. Is there still a market for branded edutainment? We don't know because it is never done well. But I think if Elon Musk and Apple (the apple of 6 years ago) had attractions that were exciting in show buildings and retail spaces sexy enough, it could work. I am not ignorant to the fact though that it is a more limited market than IP, but an angle that desperately brings some variety and delivers on some of the ingredients to Walt's Disneyland.All those spinning tires on the Peoplemover were provided by Goodyear, the attraction's sponsor.

The disney moms blog! I knew it.Wow, so now we know who calls the shots for P&R.
How is there not convention space at EPCOT? How do they not host their own TEDx event for guests to observe and feel a part of? How do they not have a celebration of the Nobel Prize winners each year? Or a second stop for Las Vegas' CES conference? Host summer college courses and collaborative projects between a variety of universities? They don't do anything.The fact Disney and Space X haven't teamed up to create an attraction for Tomorrowland or Epcot upsets me greatly. Imagine if Mission Space was completely redone to be sponsored by Space X and focused on an idea of colonizing Mars? It would be fantastic.
