What kind of changes can we expect for WDW with sponsors pulling out of attractions?

What should we expect with all this news about big corporations not renewing their contracts on major attractions through out WDW? Will the rides suffer? or will they just find new corporate sponsors for these rides & attractions (Space Mountain, Illuminations, Spaceship Earth,etc..) Just wondering. I love Illuminations, and I'd hate to see them not continue with it.

Sponserships change periodically anyway. Sometimes the attractions stay exactly the same--- ie: Tarzan Rocks, now sponsered by McDonald's, and other times, they change quite a bit---ie: Horizons to Mission Space and World of Motion to Test Track.

I think it will largely depend on who ends up sponsering, how much money they are willing to put into the attraction, and whether they would like the attraction to better reflect their product.

OK people, start planning those many trips to WDW so we can get the money to do these things! They sound great! Thank goodness Pressler went to the Gap!!! Now, if we can just get the world affairs and the economy straight!!!

I hope that by the time they want to start working on Project Gemini the money, or at least the incentive to spend the money will be there and Eisner will give the green light. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money! The idea of a treed Epcot really appeals to me, and I know the revamped attractions will appeal to guests of all ages.

Now, lets get going, buying those souveniers, staying in those resorts, and eating those meals, so we can get the Epcot that we deserve!!!!

Wow! Project Gemini sounds awesome! How can they not do it? It's exactly what Epcot needs. After my trip this past week, I started to realize how much less I enjoy Future World now.
