I've been trying to think of past sponsors at Disneyland Resort. Let's see how well we can do? Also, does anyone know if Splash Mountain was ever sponsored?

1. United Airlines (United Airlines Encahnted Tiki Room)
2. FedEx/ Federal Express (Space Mountain)
3. Monsanto (Adventure t. Inner Space, Amercia the Beautiful in Circarama, House of the Future)
4. PSA Airlines (World Premiere Circle Vision)
5. AT&T (Indiana Jones Adventure)
6. Don Defore (actor from Hazel) - Silver Banjo Restaurant
7. Mattel (it's a small world)
8. General Electric (Carousel of Progress)
9. Goodyear (PeopleMover)
10. PepsiCola (Country Bear Jamboree)
11. Wonder Bread (Country Bear Jamboree)
12. Santa Fe (Disneyland - Santa Fe Railroad)

That's all I can remeber.

Also, various corporate Tomorrowland exhibits (Dutch Boy, Crane...)

OK, now I remember....

It's a Small World was originally created for UNICEF for the 1964 World's Fair. The sponsor when it opened up at Dl was Bank of America.

Actually, they dropped out on Dec. 31st. However, it was easier to keep up the signs/tvs/posters until the refurb. :)

If I do remember correctly, Union Bank is still there, therefore not qualifying for this thread.

Oh, sorry, I guess I don't know how to read well. However, I researched my post, and it took me a long time to write it. I put a vast amount of my thoughts into the post,and it took me at least 30 minutes to research. When I was finished, I noticed that while I was writing the post, someone else had already posted some of my ideas. I'm not perfect, I had no control of the already- posted sponsors.
