    I first noticed their logo at the bottom of the Cantina refurbishment wall and thought perhaps they took on the project somehow.. but now they're all over the MK at all of the various work location.

    What's the deal?

    And why dont they sponsor an Epcot pavilion instead? Though I suppose refurb walls are so common in Epcot they may actually constitute an attraction..

    Is that a challenge spirit... I could do it if you want ;) I also noticed in the photos it is the same quotes, you think if they print new signs they could come up with new quotes for the new signs.

    I think someone at Stanley realized that these are some of the most photographed objects in Disney.

    The more I think about it the more I think it is pure genius on both Disney's, and Stanleys Tools part. Disney gets the sponsorship money, and how many millions of people will look at those walls, and in the future relate Stanley Tools to their vacation, and an association with Disney. Brillant.
