It wouldn't be bad in my humble opinion if the sponsors were dissolved in WDW. We pay enough to not be led through a bunch of commercials. I wish the bowl games would do the same. When I was younger i enjoyed watching the Sugar Bowl. Then it was the USF&G Sugar Bowl, then the Nokia Sugar Bowl. Kinda loses the spirit of the event for me.
i find it ironic that my cell phone (using AT&T service) won't work within 20feet of the Big Ball (SE).

FP,
I agree... I don't mind some subtle branding here and there... but you're right - some attractions are multi-milliondollar, in-your-face commercials.
Then again, think about how this all got started - with Disney making these "commerials" for the World's Fair for companies like Ford, Pepsi, etc. What Would Walt Think Now?
