"What's next, billboards on Cinderella's Castle?" asks one commenter on the company-run theme-park blog. "You get the feeling that over
the years, the hard sell has been creeping in further and further," says Michael Crawford, publisher of Progress City USA, a blog devoted to Disney news and history.
But a Disney spokesman points out that the "Tron"-wrapped monorail travels only to its Epcot theme park, which, like the movie, has a technology-heavy theme. "Our parks are where our stories come to life and, if there's a natural fit to bring in a new story, then we consider it," says Bryan Malenius.
