My sisters don’t believe “flying by the seat of your pants” is a real phrase so to hear someone other than me is VINDICATION

[@VVilde36]

Tell them it is literally in the Cambridge phrasal dictionary - which if you would google it would tell you it means : "to do something difficult without the necessary skill or experience:" ie ' I had no idea how to do it - I was just flying by the seat of my pants.'

[@RagertYT]

It’s also in Hamilton

[@PS-zw4yc]

Background of the phrase is flying in very wild weather with the controls getting maxed out barely being able to control the aircraft. Rudders are used to align the nose of the aircraft controlled by your feet flying by the seat of your pants is your legs pushing the rudders to the max with your leg fully extended fighting to keep the plane stable -trust me bro. lol. Legit background I learned in flight school many moons ago

[@SA12String]

"Makeout Monsanto" was the unofficial name of the Monsanto sponsored Adventure Thru Inner Space ride, which was where Star Tours is now. I really miss that attraction and its almost complete lack of cameras. Good times.

[@MAC_ATTACK28]

I'm suprised that offhand disney hasn't made a people mover history video by now

[@ConnorCampbell-ch5mk]

I wonder if we could get a sponsorship as a channel… The Disneyland Peoplemover, Sponsered by the offhand Disney channel. We can put all the Patreon money towards it

[@SA12String]

I would honestly throw money at it.

In all the years I’ve been into Disney history I never knew ABC had stake in the park as part of their deal. Thanks for teaching me something new!

[@stuartm6069]

What is ironic is years later in 1995, Disney and ABC merged together. So, Disney got it's stake back.

The Scentsy sponsorship is incredibly annoying. It gives the appearance of tacit approval of the MLM business model by Disney, and makes the victims (consultants) feel vindicated by that approval. Of course Disney has been letting both Scentsy and other MLM companies license the IP for a while now but that isn’t okay either. :/

[@toddcribbs6844]

I actually agree with you

[@keeleon]

I never really minded the "huge faceless corporation" sponsors, but seeing "scentsy" in the parks jsut feels so gross.

[@PixelatedH2O]

Interestingly, two original sponsors at Disneyland (Monsanto & Upjohn) would merge about 45 years later

[@rbeasley66]

Back in the day, before debit cards, and credit cards weren't used for everything purchases. I cashed numerous checks at the bank on the beginning of Main Street at the Magic Kingdom. Either because we spent to much money, or stayed far longer than we planned. A very convenient perk.

[@michellee1190]

LOL. Best sponsorship ad I’ve seen in a while.

[@Zapperite]

Offhand Disney Sponsored by living with the land…

[@ReturnOf2008]

Tokyo Disney resort is mainly still sponsored! Even their nighttime shouts out their sponsor. And people argue it’s one of the best Disney park!

[@maddog7365]

First Peter Dibble and now you making videos about Disneyland sponsorships!? This is a great!

[@FruitBrute]

I think sponsors help Disney to be more ambitious with their ideas. Like if you look at the Disney parks in Japan & China, they’re able to build brand new beautiful lands because they’re not paying for it or paying half.

[@SA12String]

At about 7 minutes in, my childhood kicks in. I remember all of this. Black and white TV, the Disneyland show, amazing how this channel always takes me back.

[@oliviahansen5036]

This was possibly the best ad spot I’ve ever seen in a video. Brought me back to the good old days when we were unburdened by the lack of People Mover announcements. Back when we had sparkly-eyed hope that such an announcement would be fast approaching from the Disney exposition known as “D23”

[@idk-zt8rx]

In Tokyo Disney, a bunch of thrill rides are sponsored by a life insurance company ☠️... and Space Mountain is sponsored by Coca Cola

[@RenDisKenn]

I remember McDonnell Douglas being a sponsor for flight to the moon and later was called flight to Mars.

[@Princessmisery]

Visiting Tokyo Disney recently, I have noticed quite a lot of their rides were also sponsored. Which was very interesting to learn

[@idk-zt8rx]

People give OLC all of the credit when the sponsors actually pay a significant amount for the construction and maintenance.

[@HondaGoBwaaap]

Fun fact, when Living With the Land had live narrators on the boat it was in the contract that the cast member had to say Chiquita 5 times. Some cast members would just say it 5 times in a row as you were coming into unload.

[@t.c.bramblett617]

Those EPCOT promo videos are so nostalgic for me. In elementary school (early 80s) I was fascinated with EPCOT and I actually collected their promo material and made a 3D model of the park for our science fair. I think I got 2nd place. I made Spaceship Earth out of a styrofoam ball lol. It was truly an obsession of mine at 10-11 right before it opened and I wish I still had the brochures they sent me and the model!

[@RavenAlchemist13]

Yes finally!! Thank you Offhand. I have always been fascinated with Disney's sponserships, and how they have impacted the parks; yet no one seems to talk about them as a whole! There is so much interesting history there, and Disney would not be the same without the money from the sponserships. Thank you for talking about sponsership history that is often just an offhand (lol) mention on most other Disney history videos/sources. Love your stuff!

[@jaronfralick5927]

Obviously, Dalin is correct in that it is easier for companies to sponsor an original ride not attached to any IPs like Test Track because they are easier for companies that make a certain type of products to use as a template (like food/agricultural companies for The Land, energy companies for Horizons, and car companies for Test Track). But, I think the reason the Tron and Dumbo attractions (even though they are Disney IPs) are more easily adaptable to sponsorships is because they are original Disney IPs created by Disney themselves and not bought like Marvel and Star Wars. My thought is that there would be too much of a clash with brand recognition, a feeling that the hardcore original fans would find it more "tasteless" to have brand sponsorship slapped onto creative property Disney soullessly absorbed for profit instead of Disney's original IPs.

[@flyhigh6814]

The 1940s style ad at the end was amazing. Absolutely fantastic work. Please do more of your sponser ads like that.

The Land was sponsored by Kraft first then Nestle.

[@RonRontheLeprechaun]

I love how Dallin couldn't quite keep the accent the whole time. Started getting all Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. 😂

[@hamiltoncox7651]

That is one great Mid-Atlantic accent, Mr. Magic Candle announcer. It almost makes up for Dalin's questionable take on Web Slingers - The Ride that Escaped from Six Flags.

[@jeremymiller6264]

I sell Scentsy with my wife and we love it. There are a ton of Disney items including a Haunted Mansion wax warmer. Really good company.

[@disney.daze.55]

Wow. I had no idea that there were that many branded shops.

[@srayj]

Another issue with sponsorships is that the contract typically requires more frequent updates, so if an attraction is great, they still have to change/update the attraction. If I'm remembering correctly, I think it was part of the Kodak sponsorship that Journey into Imagination had to get changes when it did, it just happened to be worse.

[@ttintagel]

Because for some reason the contract didn't require Kodak to pony up for the updates.

[@lutherheggs451]

Journey into Imagination got changed because Kodak was no longer sponsoring it. Kodak didn't want to pay for a refurbishment because they were losing money with the rise of digital cameras that didn't require film

[@gregorytorres1728]

United actually sponsored Tiki Room because Hawaii had just been added to the US as a state and they wanted to get a jump on the domestic market of flights to Hawaii.

[@chrishintz1077]

Not so much the initial building, but the ongoing maintenance. Anyone who’s owned a house knows that it’s always something that needs to be fixed. ;)

[@meaganwilliams6826]

imagine a drinking game and the phrase being Main Street USA😂 I loved this video!!!

[@jaredcottrell]

Great ad! Love the 50s style and accent, very cool

[@hillernj]

I have actually been thinking about this a lot lately. What’s not to say that someone could start a company that is a non profit and works with Imagineering where fans can donate to the company and help fund the newest fan sponsored ride or attraction. Help plus things up on current attractions where there’s no money in the “budget” for upkeep and maintenance.

[@alli_mode]

The Scentsy smell-ephants actually smell pretty spot on. I can't sniff them more then a few seconds, because artificial smells give me a headache, but yeah, pretty good.

[@charlottecapie9586]

The best ad I’ve seen in a video!

[@lilyderooij]

I had gone to HS about 10 years ago when they still had TGMR, and American Idol. Did I think it was a little tacky? yes. Did I think that it looked dated? Not yet, THAT I eventually realized. When Toy Storyland opened, I was excited. But now that I am a little older, and I notice that EVERYTHING is based off of a movie, it gets a little boring and repetitive. Now I can understand. how a family from (let's say) Michigan might connect with a ride based off of a movie cause they will already know it and it adds to their vacation experience. But I've always had fond memories of rides based on oringal concepts. Some of them are my actual favorites- Jungle Cruise (before the movie came out), BTM, COP, Maelstrom, IASW, American Adventure, Haunted Mansion (before the movie again). Now I know the rides with the characters is what people will care about but I don't think it would hurt if they made a ride that was an original. Aim it towards the older generations that are there for the nostalgia even! I'm just afraid that Disney would try their best to do this and it would be considered a flop.

[@thealabamiangirl]

Ive had a scentsy monkey since i was a few months old and i love it, so whenever i go to the peanut festival theres a guy whos also at other festivals in the wiregrass, and ill get my favorite scentsy scent for my monkey

[@xXDeadJesterXx]

19:11 I've never been to Disney, but I am not seeing a difference in the Before and After of the fountain. What is worse about the After?

[@johngalvano5895]

It's possible the IP focus comes from the fact that they were struggling to get (or keep) sponsors as companies may have thought they weren't getting good value for their sponsorships. I'm sure not having full control over the sponsored attractions was also annoying to Disney and the Imagineers

[@Meatball2022]

My favorite Disneyland sponsorship was when FedEx sponsored Space Mountain. The fake FedEx ad’s that would play in the queue while waiting was my childhood. That was back before the retheme and Disney made it boring.

[@natmarie8227]

all the footage and photos of 1950s-60s Disneyland always make me so sad lol I wish it still looked like that... I feel even in the 90s and early 00s it had some of that same charm but honestly now it feels so.... digititalized and corporatized lol (like I realize that they had sponsors from corporations back then but they really took into account use of different architecture styles, aesthetics, & signage/fonts, and now disney is its own giant corp and they squeeze every cent from u and draw u in with new & shiny iPhone-like things that are so watered-down and simple and cash-grabs, when the classic attractions are still the best part of the park(though they have kind of ruined some with screens), so it just feels disingenuous? idk lol)

[@johngalvano5895]

It definitely seemed charming back then but we would also probably find it a bit primitive and lacking in attractions

I’ve heard economically, sponsorships are better for consumers because it takes the cost of paying for these things off of consumers. Because they’re not relying on sponsors for these rides, they’ll have to continue to raise prices for us consumers.
